Editor Review
The Good: This is good travel insurance protection for individuals and families on a budget covering trips up to 90 days in length. It includes all the expected coverages and offers some optional add-ons too. Coverage for pre-existing medical conditions, bankruptcy and terrorism are included in the base plan at no additional cost (with early purchase).
The Drawbacks: Coverage for a number of common travel risks, including bankruptcy, terrorism, and pre-existing medical conditions, is dependent on early purchase (within 21 days) of this travel insurance plan. Not available to residents of all U.S. states.
The Bottom Line: This plan is excellent trip insurance coverage for non refundable trip costs and comfortable limits for unforeseen risks that can occur while traveling.
