Want to know more about our adventure travel insurance?

Get extra confidence before you go. Let’s answer common questions about our travel insurance for adventure activities.

Adventure activities are just that — adventurous. So, you never know what could go wrong while you’re hiking in the mountains or zip-lining through the rainforest on vacation. If you do have an accident, getting help could mean pricey emergency medical expenses — or even a costly emergency medical evacuation. When you pack travel insurance for adventure activities, it can help cover the costs of unforeseen mishaps during your high-octane vacation.

How can our Travelex coverage help if you’re hurt while participating in an adventure activity on vacation? For starters, we can help reimburse your sudden emergency medical costs. This can be a huge relief, because your U.S. health insurance likely won’t cover you in other countries — and even in certain U.S. states.

What if you need an emergency medical evacuation for more suitable medical care? It can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in other countries. But if you’re traveling with us, we can not only help cover the cost, our 24/7 emergency assistance provider can also arrange the evacuation and support you throughout your medical care. Whether you need an emergency medical evacuation from a mountain or cruise ship, our global team of experts is standing by and ready to help. 

Our Essential, Advantage, Ultimate, and Travel Med Go plans include base coverage for many activities, like hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, and snorkeling in shallow areas. 

Looking for our most advanced plan with adventure sports travel insurance? Check out our Ultimate plan. It includes coverage for lots of eligible activities, as well as our highest levels of coverage if your adventure activity doesn’t go as planned: 

  • Up to $250,000 emergency medical
  • Up to $1,000,000 emergency evacuation and repatriation
  • Up to $25,000 accidental death and dismemberment

… plus many more benefits. 

No matter which of our plans you choose, you’ll have access to our expert travel assistance provider 24/7. They can help arrange medical appointments, transportation to a medical facility, prescription medication services, language interpretation, emergency cash transfers, and more. 

You can easily reach them with just a tap in our Travel On app, which you get access to with your policy. It can send you real-time safety alerts, tell you about risks in your destination, and more. Don’t forget to check it out before and during your trip! With our travel assistance specialists on your side, you’re never adventuring alone on your trip.

Yes! If you buy our Essential, Advantage, Ultimate, or Travel Med Go plan, you can choose to add our optional adventure activities upgrade to your policy. 

Our adventure activities upgrade

This upgrade can cover extreme sports and adventure activities that aren’t included in our base plans. If you get this upgrade, you’re eligible for coverage for these additional activities:

  • Mountain climbing
  • Bungee jumping
  • Snow skiing
  • Skydiving
  • Parachuting
  • Free falling
  • Cliff diving
  • B.A.S.E. or base jumping
  • Hang gliding
  • Parasailing
  • Travel on any air supported device other than on a regularly scheduled airline or air charter company
  • Mountaineering
  • Participating in underwater activities like scuba diving if the water depth is more than 75 feet

Plus, when you buy our adventure activities upgrade, you can also get security evacuation and search and rescue coverage. 

Security evacuation coverage 

On an adventure vacation more than 100 miles from home? If you find yourself in an eligible situation that could cause you serious harm or death, we can help. We could help pay up to $100,000 for your transportation to get you to the nearest safe place. This coverage can also help cover certain related costs along the way, like meals and a hotel stay.

Important: This coverage only kicks in if you call our emergency assistance provider first and their experts authorize and arrange your evacuation. For more information, check the policy or reach out to our customer service team and ask about our security evacuation coverage. 

Search and rescue coverage 

It’ll likely never happen, but if you or the person you’re traveling with gets lost or goes missing on your adventure vacation, we can help. The benefit can cover the costs of one organized search and rescue by the appropriate authorities for no more than six days.

Important: There must be a formal report with sufficient details made for the missing traveler to the agency that can activate a search and rescue. Remember to save all receipts showing the costs of the search and rescue mission.

As always, it’s important to understand all benefits and exclusions for your adventure travel insurance, so check the policy or call our customer service team if you have questions about our search and rescue coverage. 

If you love adventure vacations, it’s likely you might be traveling with some sporting gear. Whether you’re taking a surfboard to South Africa or your skis to Switzerland, we can help. Our base plans can cover items up to the per item limit for your plan — but our baggage upgrade increases the per item limit to $1,500. 

If you choose our Essential, Advantage, Ultimate, or Travel Med Go plan, you can add our baggage upgrade to your policy to increase coverage for your belongings — and add coverage for your sporting equipment. These are the same plans that are eligible for our adventure activities upgrade, so you can add both when you’re getting a quote to help customize your protection for your travel needs. 

Important: With our sporting equipment rental coverage, we can help reimburse the cost to rent equipment if yours is lost, stolen, or damaged while traveling. Remember to save your receipts and written proof of your equipment issue, because we’ll need them when you submit your claim. 

What if your sporting equipment is on track, but delayed for eight hours or more? We can help reimburse your expenses to rent equipment in this situation, too. You’ll need to send us your receipts and written proof of the delay when you file a claim. 

Our 24/7 travel assistance provider is always ready to take your call! Just hit the assistance button in our Travel On app (which also has features like real-time safety alerts so you can adventure aware).

Whether you’ve lost your passport, need help finding a local doctor, or are dealing with a last-minute travel issue, you’ll have the resources and caring support to guide you through it, no matter which of our plans you choose! 

That depends on several factors unique to your vacation — like your trip cost, age, and any added upgrades. It takes just a couple of minutes to find out your cost with a free quote!

Hit the “Get quote” button or scroll to the top of this page and enter your destination to start. We’ll show you your plan options, eligible upgrades (like adventure activities), and pricing — you just need to pick the right coverage for your trip.
