Q: is global rescue required or is standard travel insurance with medical evac coverage sufficient
AWS EXPERT REPLY
That's an excellent question regarding your travel preparations!
While we highly recommend specialized services like Global Rescue for their comprehensive and adventure-specific medical evacuation and security services, standard travel insurance that includes robust international medical evacuation and repatriation coverage can also be sufficient.
The key is to ensure your chosen policy specifically covers:
1. International medical evacuation: This is critical for transport to appropriate medical facilities if needed.
2. Repatriation: Coverage for returning you to your home country.
3. Activities: Confirm that hunting or similar outdoor activities are not excluded from your coverage.
Many standard travel insurance policies have limitations or exclusions for certain activities or remote locations, so it's always best to carefully review the terms or consult with your insurance provider directly. Our human team is also happy to offer further guidance on this.
