Editor Review
The Good: This is excellent coverage focused on the needs of the business traveler. It includes high baggage protections and additional coverage for business property. It also has a very short pre-existing condition look-back period (only 30 days). Travel assistance services with concierge and business services are also included. No time limits apply to travel delay and missed connection coverage.
The Drawbacks: There are few benefits in the base coverage compared to other full-featured package plans. Many useful benefits are available only as upgrades.
The Bottom Line: This plan offers broad protections that can be purchased by individual business travelers or by corporations protecting their employees. Overseas travelers should consider adding the medical upgrade if their own health insurance does not extend beyond U.S. borders (and most don’t).
