AUBEWARE !!! BEWARE !!! Don't fall for their electronics lost luggage or electronics theft policies/ add-ons. They are misleading and in turn very bureaucratic. Making it near impossible with many hoops to jump through to lodge a claim. Be very careful, I would hope that the health benefits would outweigh their options of add-ons. I think it's fair to suggest the add-ons are a scam. I would recommend other travel insurance options and from your own country of residence. Not a global conglomerate. Unfortunately, my choice to use Safety Wing was influenced by a YouTube video that was sponsored. It all seemed great. I acknowledge my poor judgement. Please don't be fooled. Hope this review helps.

KRThey don’t cover your medical expenses They don’t cover your medical expenses. Only if you pay 250$ they will asume the costs from that amount. I made a claim during my trip in Vietnam and never received the money from the insurance. So, in my opinion it’s basically a scam.

NOThe claim was approved after appeal I had an accident with my motorcycle, and first Safetywing rejected my claim because I could not prove I was wearing a helmet. They kept asking for a rescue report that did not exist. This caused me much anxiety and stress. Even sending a picture of my damaged helmet did not help. But then on appeal the decision was overturned, and I received the money for the claim a couple of days later. I must confess I did not expect them to overturn the decision, and I was very surprised the claim was approved. This restores some of my faith in Safetywing, and I will probably use them again on my next travel.

GBAmazingly fast and prompt service Had to visit a hospital while in Thailand. Put in a claim at 16:58 and at 17:03 it got accepted. The money was is in my account by the next day. Couldn’t have hoped for a better process. Wasn’t even asked to write a review but felt it was due.

ARAmazing customer support and very good coverage for digital nomads. The customer support is simply the best. The claims process is also quite alright. They handle it thru a 3rd party partner - WorldTrips - so the clunkiness is not SafetyWing's issue, but as far as I know since November 2023 already SafetyWing handle everything themselves, and it's much easier and faster to claim and receive a refund. Would definitely recommend. Been using them for almost a year of traveling thru South America, had a couple of situations where I needed medical attention from a doctor and all expenses, for about a $1000 combined, were refunded without an issue.
