Editor Review
The Good: With relatively high plan limits for medical and evacuation costs, this package offers comprehensive coverage for trip up to 90 days. Designed to cover travelers’ non refundable costs, in addition to providing adequate medical and emergency evacuation coverage, this plan is good coverage for travel-related risks. Plan includes some 24-hour AD&D in addition to common carrier AD&D.
The Drawbacks: Relatively low AD&D limits (see the optional add-ons). Time frame for delayed luggage and travel delays are relatively long when compared to other plans.
The Bottom Line:Â Offering excellent plan limits for medical and evacuation expenses, this plan has relatively low AD&D limits in the base plan, but you can increase those limits with an optional add-on.
