Security Evacuation: $100,000

If, as a result of an Occurrence that takes place during an Insured’s Trip and while traveling outside his or her Home Country, an Insured requires a Security Evacuation, the Insurer will pay a benefit to Transport the Insured to the Nearest Place of Safety. The determination that an Insured requires a Security Evacuation must be made by a Designated Security Consultant and all arrangements must be made by contacting the Worldwide Assistance Center (1.877.653.2516 or collect 1.715.345.0505). Benefits will be payable for Eligible Expenses up to the Maximum Limit shown in the Schedule.

Eligible Expenses are for Transportation and Related Costs to the Nearest Place of Safety necessary to ensure the Insured’s safety and well-being as determined by the Designated Security Consultant.

Security Evacuation benefits are payable only once per covered Trip.

Benefits will also be payable for Transportation and Related Costs within 14 days of the Security Evacuation to either of these locations as chosen by the Insured:

  1. back to the Host Country if return is safe and permitted; or
  2. to the Insured Person’s Home Country;
  3. to the Insured’s point of origin for the Trip;

This benefit is subject to the overall Maximum Limit shown in the Schedule.

Benefits will be payable for consulting services by Designated Security Consultant for seeking information on Missing Person or kidnapping cases if the Insured is deemed kidnapped or a Missing Person by local or international authorities. This benefit is subject to the overall Maximum Limit shown in the Schedule. The Worldwide Assistance Center must make all arrangements and must authorize all expenses in advance of any benefits being payable. The Worldwide Assistance Center is not responsible for the availability of Transport services. Where a Security Evacuation becomes impractical because of hostile or dangerous conditions, a Designated Security Consultant will endeavor to maintain contact with the Insured until a Security Evacuation becomes viable.

If, after a Security Evacuation is completed, it becomes clear that the Insured was an active participant in the events that led to an Occurrence, the Company has the right to recover all Transportation and Related Costs from the Insured Person.

Nearest Place of Safety means a location determined by the Designated Security Consultant where:

  1. the Insured can be presumed safe from the Occurrence that precipitated the Insured’s Security Evacuation; and
  2. the Insured has access to transportation to his or her Home Country; and
  3. the Insured has the availability of temporary lodging, if needed.
