Medevac is expensive.
Can you afford a rescue?

Emergency medical evacuation is costly.

If you’re in a remote location with risky symptoms beyond the ability of the local health clinic, who will pay for an emergency $300,000 air ambulance to transport you to an appropriate medical center? We will.

If you slip and break your leg in the wilderness, who will send a $60,000 medevac helicopter to get you to the nearest trauma center — for free? We will.

A travel emergency costs more and makes a dangerous situation worse. But with Global Rescue memberships as low as $139 it’s faster, safer and you pay nothing.
