I didn't need to use your insurance coverage but was relieved to have it since I developed a problem back in June, after I purchased the plan, that made it iffy up to the last minute whether or not I could travel. I fortunately could travel. I plan to use your plan again next spring.

Fortunately, we did not have to process a claim, so I can't rate the plan accurately. The representative who worked with me and helped with insurance choices was very good, and the coverage seemed accurate for our trip.

The plan is O.K., but IMO just a bit overpriced. I've never had a problem, or claim, and have always bought Global Alert, but I'm going to look around in the future.

    Thank you very much for your comments. We would like to further explain to your fellow travelers that Primary coverage will pay FIRST, before any other collectible insurance. Secondary coverage will pay you after any other Primary collectible insurance has paid the claim and the Primary policy's limits have been exhausted.

Did not need to file a claim thankfully, but was pleased with the coverage for the price.

Staff at Insuremytrip acted as a middleman, contacting the insurance company to facilitate some response. Insuremytrip staff were responsive and they report global alert says it should have been here last week. Mind you, it is only for a hundred odd dollars and the claim was filed months ago. The form is cumbersome and repetitive and laborious to complete, both the computerized form you have to fill out to ask to enter a claim as well as the claim itself.

My wife has a mostly controlled medical condition. The reason you did not pay for our needed cancellation is, in my opinion, buried on page 12 of 14 of your policy. I'm out the money for the trip and the money I paid your company. This is not the type of policy one should buy on line.

I could have used my own medical plan for Alaska. I was only out of the country 2 days and someone should have recommended something cheaper. It was too costly for what I needed. Now I know differently.

    Thank you very much for your feedback. While it is true your primary health care provider may have been able to provide coverage during the U.S. portion of your trip, the Global Alert Preferred plan you purchased is a comprehensive package plan that offers much more than medical care and provides you coverage from the moment you leave your home until the moment you return back to your home. The Global Alert Preferred policy offers Trip Cancellation, Trip Interruption, Baggage Loss, Baggage Delay, Travel Delay, Emergency Medical, Emergency Medical Evacuation, Financial Default, and a Pre-Existing Condition Waiver. Additionally, premium is typically within the range of 4-10% of the trip cost and is determined by the following factors: the length of the trip, the cost of the trip, and the ages of the travelers. For future purchases or for additional questions regarding comprehensive coverage, please feel free to contact our office at 800-487-4722 where our licensed representatives would be happy to assist you.
