Global Alert! Preferred
It is hard to evaluate the quality of the plan when you don't need to use it. I did appreciate the last minute adjustment of our travel dates at no extra charge; however, it took a very long time for this authorization to be approved- we were well into our travels before we received confirmation of the change. This was a bit uncomfortable because we didn't know for sure if we had coverage. So, I would say that I appreciate the changes made, but suggest they be handled in a more expedient manner.
Heidi S. would recommend this plan to a friend or relative.

Coverages and cost appear to be fair value.
Haven't had to make a claim so can'r comment on that process.
Wasted premiums...just the way I like it with all of my insurance (especially Life)

Fortunately, did not have to use the insurance, so cannot comment on plan specifics. Insuremytrip staff helpful in finding the right plan for medical coverage while traveling abroad and cost seemed affordable. Expense worth peace of mind.

Very confident and at ease that I had a substantial coverage while on my vacation. Thanks for sending me that reminder a few days away from my departure giving me the option of purchasing a policy.

Haven't needed to use the policy - but wouldn't consider traveling without this coverage.

Didn't use the plan, so I cannot attest to how the insurer follows through. Had peace of mind while traveling though!

Global Alert is administered by Trip Mate, Inc. which is underwritten by American Modern Home Insurance Company.
We had to cancel our trip due to an injury. Fortunately, we had purchased trip cancelation insurance and had all the medical documentation required to file a claim. However, dealing with Trip Mate was a very frustrating experience. It was hard to contact them, and the claim forms - only available on line- were confusing and could not be completed on line.
We submitted all required paper work by mail, which Trip Mate received on February 9, 2017. After numerous phone calls, being put on hold for almost 20 minutes on several occasions only to be told to leave a call back number (which was not always returned), and two letters, we finally got a check on April 14, 2017. Yes, in the end, Trip Mate/ American Modern Home Insurance Company did cover the expenses incurred when we had to cancel our trip ,which we appreciated. However, it is doubtful that we would have ever purchased this insurance from Insure My Trip if we knew that we would not be dealing directly with an insurance company-Global Alert!- but instead an on-line company like Trip Mate, Inc.
Leo C. would not recommend this plan to a friend or relative.
