Some insurance companies only cover activities up to a certain elevation. So if you’re traveling to high altitude, you’ll want to ensure that you have coverage in your plan up to the elevation you’re traveling.

This benefit is usually offered as an add-on benefit, and not all insurance companies offer it, so pay special attention to see if yours does. If you’re looking for a CFAR benefit most insurance companies require you to purchase the policy no more than 10-21 days from putting down your initial trip deposit to qualify for the benefit. Additionally, be sure to insure the total trip cost, not just your deposit amount.

Not all travel insurance companies cover pre-existing conditions, so if this is a concern for you, you should make sure the plan covers your needs. You may only qualify for a pre-existing conditions waiver if your travel insurance policy was purchased near the time of your initial trip deposit date (usually has to be purchased no more than 10-21 days from initial trip deposit).

Some travel insurance plans have activity restrictions like bungee jumping, skydiving, heli-skiing, and other extreme activities. Be sure to understand your plan and make sure it covers you for all of the activities you’ll be taking on during your trip.

Most travel insurance policies are now treating Covid-19 as any other illness, and will be able to provide a letter confirming Covid-19 coverage, as some countries do require this proof of coverage for entry.

Global Rescue is medical evacuation coverage, NOT travel insurance, but still equally important to understand and consider! Medical evacuation coverage can help you in true emergency situations, especially in remote and hard to access regions, where an emergency evacuation could cost you more than $100,000. While many travel insurances say they cover medical evacuation, some plans make you pay then claim and get a reimbursement at a later date. With Global Rescue, you would never see a bill. There are 7, 14, and 30 day member plans to choose from, as well as an annual membership option (ideal for travelers who are going on more than one adventure per year). Global Rescue does not take the place of travel insurance. It’s an additional product and protection while you’re out adventuring, and worth it to consider!
