Global Alert – Essentials

Editor Review

globalalert148

The Good: Designed for the budget-conscious traveler, this plan offers good limits on all the expected coverage: cancellation, interruption, medical, evacuation, travel delay, baggage loss and more. The pre-existing condition exclusion is waived if the plan is purchased within 15 days of initial trip deposit.

The Drawbacks: No car rental coverage, 24-hour AD&D, or ‘cancel for any reason’ is available with this plan.

The Bottom Line: This is a good all-round travel insurance plan that covers the basic risks of travel with good limits.
