We did not need to use our insurance however a woman in our our group had a stroke while in Portugal and had to be hospitalized, etc. I do not know who her insurer was but feel that if this had happened to me or my wife we would have been well taken care of by our Global Alert insurance plan.

Had to file a claim as was unable to travel. It took a long time and I had to insure my trip involved to finally get my refund for the trip.

We came close to needing support when our initial flight was delayed 15 hours. I was encouraged by the phone service provided by Global Alert.

As a scuba diver, this coverage reasonably accepts the sport in its policies and extends all of its coverage to the insured.
Costumer service has also been professional and efficient. I have insured my last 5 trips through Global Alert! Preferred and will continue to do so.

After we submitted our claim, with all required documentation, we waited 13 weeks before receiving our checks. Staff at the company handling our claim said that they had a backlog due to a large volume of hurricane-related claims. That may be true, but they should have put on more staff, or taken some other action to increase their claim processing capacity.

    You will be pleased to know that Global Alert / TripMate did follow through on your suggestion to add more staff. However, hiring is only the first step followed by intense and detailed training that spread over several months.

    We are pleased to hear that you did receive your claim checks even though it took 13 weeks. Now that the recent hires have completed training. Global Alert / TripMate claims are being processed on a more timely basis.

Global Alert treated us fairly. My only criticism is that it took 3 months to settle the claim.

Its hard to write a review for a policy you never needed to use however it did provide a piece of mind.

We had no need to use the plan, but for the price, the security of having it was well worth it.
