UP TO US$100,000 TO HELP SAVE YOUR LIFE
OR PAY FOR SEARCH AND RESCUE COSTS

Global availability
This very special Member Benefit is available to fund additional Search and Rescue efforts (including private aircraft/helicopter charter, private search teams etc.) that may be necessary to aid in your rescue or to pay the costs of official search and rescue charges for which you may be held responsible. Do not assume that the official emergency services will necessarily have all the personnel and equipment available at that critical time when you need help help fast and in some countries, there may not be official help available at all. SAR membership is now available globally* and the benefit and service is available in any country you visit.

This valuable Membership Service is provided extremely economically because, quite simply, GEOS underwriters in the London market recognize that those people who purchase SPOT and GEOS services care about safety and are unlikely to take unacceptable risks that may result in tragedy. Buying a GEOS-approved GPS device such as the SPOT means that when you press the "911" button, you are providing GEOS with your location accurate to about 15 feet (around 5 meters) anywhere on the planet.

Included in Global Traveler & Pegasus
Private Search & Rescue is included in the Global Traveler service. If you have already purchased SAR service during SPOT activation, you will receive a credit of 100% towards the cost of any upgrade to the GEOS Global Traveler or GEOS Pegasus services.

GEOS Search & Rescue Terms

The scope of GEOS SAR benefits includes payment, by GEOS, of up to $100,000 in any one year, limited to $50,000 any one incident, for the provision of necessary additional Search and Rescue resources (including helicopter, aircraft, private search teams etc.) up to the single incident limit for a period not exceeding 72 hours from the time of call for assistance where these are requested by the appropriate rescue authorities and which are necessary to prevent injury or illness or danger to human life as a result of an unforeseeable emergency or to pay for any costs and expenses claimed against you by the appropriate rescue authorities. Provision of additional resources under this service must be first authorized by GEOS.

      complete your planned trip
c)   in the case of death of the Member, GEOS will not be responsible for the transportation of
      the body
