Evacuation Insurance

Every time I go on a cruise I purchase it for my wife and I. No, we have never had to use it.Evacuation Insurance.
We usually go with Alliance Insurance, another you might want to look at is Insuremytrip

Are you talking about medical evacuation insurance, or roadside assistance/towing insurance? I'm not entirely sure the latter exists, or at least is commonly available, that would cover costs of towing along, say, the Dalton Highway.

The trip along the Dalton Highway was one of the top few highlights of my trip to Alaska a few years ago. It also was undeniably rough on my motorhome, and made it very, very dirty indeed. In my opinion, the wear and tear was well worth it for the amazing scenery and vastness all around.

Medical evacuation.

Allianz has lots of plans-if we are flying we get a general plan that covers multiple issues.

In North America, I would just get very good medical insurance, which should include transport to good hospitals, after your visit to the local hospital. Now for places where the hospitals are of low quality (Africa) I paid Global Rescue, but never needed their services yet.

This is what I have.

We have FMCAssist through our FMCA membership:
"FMCAssist is emergency medical evacuation and repatriation coverage available to members worldwide as long as you are more than 75 miles from home. If you are a full-time RVer, you are always considered 75 miles from home. FMCAssist services are also available to members when traveling abroad. Some exclusions and limitation amounts pertain to these benefits."

I lived in Alaska for 26 years (moved to ID last fall), and never heard of anyone needing/wanting evacuation insurance. Remote search and rescue is coordinated and performed by the Alaska Guard with C-130's and Blackhawks. Life flight operates helicopters out of local hospitals and does transports from roadways to the hospital.
