Is the WorldTrips Worth It?

Best for long trips and travel medical. WorldTrips is two products: the Atlas Travel medical plan is the cheapest way to insure a long stay abroad, and the Atlas Journey trip plans are competitive with a $1 million evacuation limit. The claims process is where it trails Faye.

WorldTrips Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Atlas Travel medical-only plans for months abroad at very low cost
  • $1 million evacuation on Journey Preferred
  • 21-day pre-existing window — longest here
  • Adventure sports rider covers activities others exclude
Cons
  • $150,000 medical on the mid plan; Elite raises it
  • Claims are paper-heavy compared with Faye
  • Website makes plan comparison harder than it should be
