Five Compelling Reasons

Why do you need an Air Ambulance Card membership? Start with these five reasons and we think you'll find at least one that makes it very clear.


Peace of Mind

If you find yourself in a European hospital, a third world medical facility or only a couple of states away, we will fly you home to a hospital you know to be treated by the doctor of your choice. An Air Ambulance Card membership also provides parents with peace of mind as they send their children off to summer camp or perhaps a graduation trip to Europe.

Protect Your Life Savings

It would cost you tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay for one of these flights out-of-pocket. You never pay a dime more than your yearly membership fee, and there is no maximum dollar limit on flights.

Protect Your Family

The Caribbean may not sound like a bad place to recover from a heart attack, but imagine the cost to your family if they had to fly down and stay in a hotel while you recover. Why wait? You may not buy a membership until the day before you leave for an overseas trip, but in the meantime, you may take a dozen business junkets or trips to see family closer to home in the meantime. Accidents and illness can happen anywhere.

You May Think You’re Covered…

Many standard trip insurance and credit card policies will only fly you to the “nearest appropriate facility” or “nearest U.S. facility”, and only if they deem it is a medical necessity. Read their fine print, then look for ours. You won’t find any, we don’t have fine print. We will fly you home to the U.S. or Canadian hospital you choose.

Live Life to the Fullest

We’re glad our members seek out adventure and don’t let past health problems hold them back. Unlike some other policies, we welcome members who have had previous health problems. We have no “pre-existing condition” limitations.
