In the event of a catastrophe, Non-Medical Evacuation provides transportation from a place of danger to a place of safety. The events that are considered a “catastrophe”, and qualify for this benefit, differ depending on the travel insurance policy.
All Tin Leg policies define a catastrophe as a violent and destructive natural event causing a sudden change in a feature of the earth. Catastrophe includes but is not limited to earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, mudslides, and other similar destructive natural disasters. If a qualifying event occurs, coverage includes transportation costs that have been reviewed and pre-approved by Tin Leg, and are subject to the maximum benefit shown in the policy.
Tin Leg’s Standard and Luxury policies offer Non-Medical Evacuation coverage of $50,000 per traveler. This benefit is not included in Tin Leg’s Economy policy.
In an emergency situation, Tin Leg advises their customers to contact Tin Leg’s 24 hour Emergency Assistance as soon as reasonably possible. This service will coordinate the appropriate Emergency Non-Medical Evacuation arrangements. This number is listed on the traveler’s confirmation documentation and virtual ID card from Tin Leg.
