Editor Review
The Good: Designed for adventurous international travelers who enjoy the thrill of a number of sports not typically covered by travel medical insurance plans. This is excellent short-term travel medical insurance, including hospital, medical, ambulance, emergency room and more, and is available to U.S. and non U.S. citizens.
The Drawbacks: The plan maximum is not high relative to other plans and the coverage may not be enough if the traveler is very seriously injured. There is no extra coverage for sports equipment and the coverage for pre-existing conditions is significantly less than that of other plans.
The Bottom Line: Offered by a reliable and respected insurance company, this plan provides basic travel medical coverage for travelers who typically don’t qualify for coverage.
