Editor Review

Travel Guard Insurance Review The Good: Available to U.S. citizens. Can be purchased on a per-trip or annual basis. This plan includes not only emergency medical evacuations, but also non medical security evacuations. Optional sports coverage available for adventure activities specifically excluded from the base plan.

The Drawbacks: Some plan coverages are not available to U.S. citizens of all states.

The Bottom Line: This is not a trip cancellation plan, but a medical evacuation plan specifically designed to help insured travelers get safely out of emergency medical or political situations. It provides for medical care if the insured becomes ill or is injured on their trip.
