Where Seguros Promo fits
Seguros Promo is not a product, it is a shop: more than twenty brands in one place, which is genuinely useful if you want to see the whole market at once and you do not already know what you want. If your priority is breadth of choice and you enjoy comparing, start there rather than here.
Where Pulsar fits
A marketplace earns a commission on what it sells, and that commission is inside the price you see. We are the operator and there is nobody between us, which is also why the person who answers when something goes wrong is on our payroll rather than a vendor's.

Questions people actually ask
Is Pulsar cheaper than Seguros Promo?
We do not publish a price for Seguros Promo, because we would be quoting a number we did not verify. What we can show is our own price: USD 21.91 for 7 days in latam for 1 travellers aged 35, about USD 3.13 per person per day. Price the same trip on both sites and compare like for like: the same medical limit, the same dates, the same travellers.
What is the difference between travel insurance and travel assistance?
An assistance voucher pays for and coordinates help while you travel, through a network. An insurance policy indemnifies you against a defined loss. Pulsar's international product is an assistance voucher whose medical benefits are insured by the medical insurer; in Brazil, Pulsar is sold as insurance underwritten by Sabemi. Either way, what matters to you is the limit, the exclusions and whether you pay the clinic yourself.
Does either cover pre-existing conditions?
Standard travel assistance covers what happens on the trip, not conditions you already treat at home. That is the same across the industry. Pulsar covers acute heart attack and stroke regardless, and offers a pre-existing upgrade that covers stabilisation of an acute episode. Check the equivalent clause in any product you compare.
Where can I read the actual conditions?
Pulsar's general conditions are linked from every voucher and quoted on request by our concierge, clause by clause. Ask any provider for theirs before you buy; if it is hard to find, that is information too.
