Thanks for weighing in, Sara. I’m researching some options and will create some content around this prevalent issue. In the meantime, I suggest checking out Visitors Coverage (listed above in the article). Thanks!

Hi Diego,
I have more than one friend who has made successful claims through Safety Wing. It is not a scam.
The other concerns expressed in the reddit indicate the users are unfamiliar with how insurance works including how pre-existing conditions work, the use of underwriters, and the reality that indeed, when it comes time to make an insurance claim, the underwriter/insurance company is going to try to get out of it (partly a due diligence process to ensure they’re not getting scammed by users).
I’ve had to make insurance claims before, and they’re no cakewalk. But it doesn’t mean it’s a scam.

Hey Trudi,
I have a colleague who had to make a claim with Safety Wing and he said it was a very smooth experience. I hope you love them as much as I do! Happy travels.
