I am over 75 and needed to fill out the medical form. I did that on line and submitted it. I recieved a call from a nice lady within 30 minutes of submitting. She helped me clarify somethings and sent it on to medical for review. Policy was approved withing 2 days. I still make fly fising trips to remote loacations a couple times a year and I have been a Global Rescue member for over 25 years. Its reassuring to know I have that support when on these trips.

Global Rescue wow!

Global Rescue wow! I enrolled second time in the last five years. The experience was pleasant and personal. The call from a real human being to explain the benefits, finalize the details and make adjustments to my online enrollment was exceptional.

Peace of Mind

Global rescue so far has been prompt and friendly. Thankfully I haven't had to utilize their services.I travel internationally for work and I am often in remote areas. It is such a peace of mind knowing that if something does happen they have a team that will come and get me.

Comfort knowing service is available should we need.

Although we fortunately have not needed the service, we love that it is there should we need it. And even though my husband has aged out of coverage, they will provide the service if we need it for him on a self-pay service.

Daughter spiked fever in Paris

They were very responsive in a timely manner and found exactly what we needed for our daughter. The follow up was superb as they made sure everything worked out well before they closed the cases.
