I want to highlight the excellent customer service I received from Abie at Rise & Shield during a travel insurance policy change for my upcoming trip to Antarctica.
Due to my own misreading, the original policy I purchased did not meet the specific requirements for cruises in the polar region. When I realized this, I contacted Rise & Shield and Abie assisted me right away.
Abie handled the cancellation of the original policy, the refund, and the purchase of a new policy with the correct coverage.
I would definitely recommend Rise & Shield for their quality of service. Thank you Abie and team!

This is a review for the purchase of the travel insurance only. I wanted an annual plan with an option for extreme adventure as I am hoping to summit Mt Kilimanjaro in August. I am an expat who travels a lot and had questions around residency and the plan. The team were able to communicate clearly and professionally and answer my questions. The website is easy to understand and to follow for purchase.

We haven’t taken our trip yet, but I want to commend the amazing service we have been provided with. Unfortunately we have had to move our trip due to regional issues and Rise and Shield have moved our policy to the new dates with no hesitation and lots of support. Thank you to Abie!
