Editor Review
The Good: The missed connection timeline for this plan is short, and the coverage amount is good. It includes non emergency medical evacuations and advance medical payments to hospitals. Most of the expected trip protection coverage at an affordable price.
The Drawbacks: No AD&D, car rental coverage, or ‘cancel for any reason’ available with this plan.
The Bottom Line: TravelSafe has been in the business since 1971, so they’ve been in the field a long time. This plan provides the coverage most travelers expect in their travel insurance plan with an eye toward value pricing.
