Adventure Travel Insurance Plans

Understand the importance of adventure travel insurance plans for your next vacation and make sure you’re covered with the right Travel Guard plan.

Adventure travel insurance plans are designed to help cover your vacation if you plan on participating in certain adventure-type sports and activities. Some regular travel insurance plans may have exclusions (meaning no coverage) for activities that tend to be considered risky – like mountain climbing, scuba diving or bungee jumping. With an Adventure Travel Insurance Plan, those exclusions may be waived, so you can have coverage.

What is an adventure travel insurance plan?

Most travel insurance plans have exclusions for participation in adventure or extreme activities. Which means if something were to happen while you were participating in those type of activities, you would not have coverage. For example, if you sprained your ankle mountain climbing or broke your ski on the slopes – you wouldn’t have medical expense or personal item coverage available to reimburse your out-of-pocket expenses related to those situations. However, a travel insurance plan with adventure sports coverage removes those exclusions, so you can travel confidently knowing you’re covered.

Do I need an adventure travel insurance plan?

For any vacation, it’s smart to cover your travel investment, but if you’re planning on participating in adventure sports activities, you’ll want to make sure you have the type of plan you need so that you’re covered. Adventure activities inherently come with more risk, not only for yourself but there’s often additional travel arrangements, equipment you may be traveling with, and excursion expenses. With a Travel Guard travel insurance plan, your travel investment can be protected, and you have access to our specially trained representatives for 24-hour travel emergency assistance. Our representatives will work to help you through any unexpected travel mishaps.

Reviews and Testimonials

“Travel Guard is the best. I recently took a downhill mountain bike trip to Whistler, Canada. I decided to get a travel insurance plan just in case I had an accident. Of course, I did have an accident - cracked ribs, fractured collarbone and a broken bike. Travel Guard was awesome. I submitted all my paperwork and a couple weeks later I got a check in the mail. It's very nice that you can get coverage for "extreme" sports through Travel Guard. A travel insurance plan helps make me feel safer while traveling on ski/mountain bike adventures. Thanks again!”
