Even the most intrepid travelers worry about testing positive for COVID in a faraway land. Who among us wants to be quarantined or worse, hospitalized, thousands of miles from home? I don’t know about you, but when I’m sick, the only place I want to be is home.
Introducing COVAC GLOBAL
Ross Thompson, CEO and Founder of COVAC GLOBAL understands completely. Having owned a global crisis response company for a number of years, Thompson drew on his experience to create and launch an innovative solution for travelers dealing with COVID’s many uncertainties. A fully indemnified program, a COVAC GLOBAL membership gets you home at the first sign of COVID-19, so you do not need to check into a COVID hospital ward away from your hometown.
The first and only COVID-19 evacuation solution, COVAC GLOBAL arranges and pays for private transport back home should you test positive for COVID-19 while traveling. All other evacuation memberships and insurance coverage require you to be hospitalized or that it be medically necessary to transport you home. This game changing membership does not require any hospitalization for transport to be triggered.
“Being in the crisis response world, I know the travel insurance products well,” says Thompson. “Every policy dictates that you have to be hospitalized before being evacuated and repatriated.” No one wants that, especially during COVID when photos from hospitals around the world showcase makeshift emergency rooms overflowing with COVID patients. “At COVAC GLOBAL, we minimize both the physical and medical risk and the psychological trauma that being placed in an out-of-town hospital can cause,” explains Thompson.
How It Works
Launched in August 2020, COVAC GLOBAL stays true to its motto, “Get Sick. Get Home.” Business and leisure travelers can travel with confidence knowing that if they contract COVID-19 while traveling, COVAC GLOBAL arranges and pays for a private aircraft to transport them home.
Operating 24/7, the company’s team of staff physicians and nurses ensure members service in any time zone. Let’s say you’re feeling feverish, coughing, etc. while traveling. The team will find and arrange for a COVID test. If you test positive, they arrange for private repatriation. It doesn’t get much simpler than that.
Domestic Travelers Benefit Too
After tremendous success in the global market, the company recently added domestic repatriation to its membership options. United States residents traveling domestically more than 300 miles from home can now use their COVAC GLOBAL membership for transport home.
“Working closely with the luxury travel community, we consistently heard from them that they were very interested in a domestic product,” shares Thompson. “In response we launched the domestic product where we can do the same transfers across the United States and its territories.”
Five-Star Partnerships
COVAC GLOBAL has also partnered with five-star hotels around the world who offer the membership to their guests. Included in that elite lists are such resorts as: The Tyrall Club in Montego Bay, Jade Mountain Resort in St. Lucia and Cabo’s Esperanza Resort.
“We’re able to give a lower rate to luxury hotels to offer to their guests,” explains Thompson. “At these resorts, you can purchase a membership protection program for you and your family for the length of your stay.”
Why Should You Choose COVAC GLOBAL?
Thompson shares his closing thoughts on why this membership benefits you. “Luxury travelers really need to look at the situations they could find themselves in and what currently is on the market to help them navigate those situations. We put the members first by not requiring hospitalization.”
The COVAC GLOBAL team continues to innovate and put its members first making sure that if you get sick, you will get home. www.covacglobal.com
