I will be heading to Namibia in June of 2008. I was hoping to hear about the various travel insurance companies, as well as any experiences you have had with them. Recommendations and testimonials would be appreciated too. Jay | ||

Travel Guard has been good for me. I recommend them. www.travelguard.com/ They are easy to deal with over the phone and I wouldn't go abroad without them.

I was schedule to go to TZ for buffalo in the fall of 2005. Two weeks before the due date I took the "fall of 2005" fracturing my pelvis in 2 places. Fortunately I had CSA travel insurance www.csatravelprotection.com . I filed the claim sometime in October, once I had gotten all requested info organized. I believe I received the check before February (almost $12K). They were a pleasure to deal with. BTW, I completed that trip last Nov/Dec taking a 39-inch and a 39.5-inch buffalo.

Thanks for reminding me to get some insurance. The folks at www.travelguard.com were professional and informed. For 5% of my trip, I got 100% coverage and some med pay, med flights, etc. The reason I choose Trave Guard is that I've already paid some deposit and unlike some other companies, since I have no pre-existing medical condition, I'm covered for the deposit already made and any that follows so long I'm "insurable" when I make the forthcoming fractional deposits as the trip nears. JudgeG ... just counting time 'til I am again finding balm in Gilead chilled out somewhere in the Selous. | |||

The NRA has excellent travel and firearm insurance for members. The rates are fantastic. | |||

Just through ordering a policy with Travelguard, and discovered that the "pre-existing medical condition" part involves non-travelers as well. For example, if hunter's father who was not going has a heart attack 2 days before safari, policy will cover non-recoverable expenses, if insurance bought within 2 weeks of initial deposit.
