Evacuation is the benefit senior travelers ask about most, and the word that matters most in this plan's version of it is “lifetime.”

Up to US$100,000 over your lifetime, for emergency transport to the nearest adequately equipped hospital.
The cap is not per trip and not per plan. It is a single total across your life as a SafetyWing member. If you use part of it on one trip, only the remainder is left for every trip after that.
No. SafetyWing states that search and rescue is not covered.
SafetyWing covers a one-way economy ticket back to your home country, up to US$5,000, following an evacuation.
SafetyWing's comparison page lists evacuation from local unrest at US$10,000, also a lifetime limit.
