Editor Review
The Good: This plan provides excellent plan limits for the coverages and offers a number of optional add-ons to increase the coverage. It covers trips up to 30 days and coverage for pre-existing medical conditions, bankruptcy and terrorism are included in the base plan at no additional cost (with early purchase).
The Drawbacks: A number of benefits, for bankruptcy, terrorist, and pre-existing medical conditions, require early purchase (within 21 days of initial trip payment) to be valid. No options for adventure sports activities. Coverage not available to all areas of the globe.
The Bottom Line: This plan has high coverage limits and some additional add-ons to customize the coverage for your needs. This is excellent, comprehensive travel insurance coverage for individuals and families.
