SAFARI INSURANCE

SAFARI INSURANCE

Insurance is an important item that you should consider prior to your safari. Among the different kinds of insurances to consider are Baggage Insurance, Travel Insurance, Trip Cancellation Insurance and Medical Evaluation Insurance. Your local insurance agent or travel agent can assist you with these.

MedJet Assistance.
MEDJET ASSISTANCE is an annual travel membership program for people who travel for business or pleasure, in the United State or abroad.

No travel insurance, standard medical insurance, assistance plan, or platinum card membership offers a protection program as comprehensive as MEDJET ASSISTANCE. MEDJET ASSISTANCE is a worldwide medical evacuation and consultation program that is available to travelers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on an annual membership basis. Short-Term memberships for 7, 17, and 21 days are also available.

Before you leave for your next trip, make sure you pack the MEDJET ASSISTANCE card. MEDJET ASSISTANCE transports members who are hospitalized more than 150 miles from home, virtually anywhere in the world, to the hospital of their choice. Additionally, if a member is hospitalized in their hometown and requires the services of a specialty hospital within the U.S. or Canada more than 150 miles away, MEDJET ASSISTANCE will provide air medical transport to that facility.

Through a global affiliate network, the company utilizes a fleet of state-of-the-art medically equipped aircraft permanently configured as mobile intensive care units, staffed with specially trained physicians, nurses, and respiratory therapists. It also offers travel intelligence, health and safety information, medical and legal referrals, translation assistance, pre-travel medical consultations, and return of mortal remains. The program began in 1991 and has been underwritten through Lloyds of London since its inception.

Anyone up to age 75 may become a member of the program for just $195 per year of $295 for a family. Diamond memberships are available for those ages 75-81. MEDJET ASSISTANCE offers a Corporate and Group rate structure with associated discounts based on volume. Members are protected for an entire year no matter how many trips they make.
