Editor Review
The Good: This plan provides good coverage for all the benefits expected in a travel insurance package plan and kids under 21 are covered free. Multiple optional upgrades are available to fill out any coverage gaps allowing you to customize your plan to fit your needs. Pre-existing condition waiver is available if plan is purchased within 21 days of initial trip deposit.
The Drawbacks: Optional upgrades must be purchased at the same time as the plan and within 21 days of initial trip deposit. Plan is only available to U.S. citizens and not all benefits are available to citizens of all U.S. States.
The Bottom Line: Excellent family-friendly coverage with kids up to 21 years of age covered free when traveling with a covered adult on trips of 180 days or less.
