Re: [flydive] Travel Insurance: IHI.com vs. Specialtyrisk.com?
IHI is absolutely phenomenal! On top of paying for everything while i was out of my home country (including an immediate transfer from a public hospital to a much pricier private one) , they were friendly and easy to work with and wired the money from all of my expenses back to my account within two weeks of returning home. On top of my fairly extensive medical bills (major surgery, a few days in ICU, another week in the hospital, another week in a hotel), they arranged and paid for my parents to fly over the same day and covered their hotel and expenses as well. On top of all that, they upgraded my return flight home to first class so i would be more comfortable. I sincerely could not recommend IHI more highly!
In fact, i've already purchased their coverage for my next base trip... Italy, look out!
