Travel insurance industry has the adventure travel trend covered, Squaremouth says

From outer space to the bottom of the sea, adventure travel has become an affordable alternative to traditional resort holidays.

From outer space to the bottom of the sea, adventure travel has become an affordable alternative to traditional resort holidays. With physical, cultural and nature-based trips all firmly on the rise, Squaremouth launches new travel insurance products to cover these activities.

In the past, diehard mountain climbers, snowboarders and skydivers found their options for travel insurance sorely limited. Now, with the introduction of new adventure travel products from companies like Travel Guard, fans of edgier trips are covered more completely than ever before.

“The insurance industry is recognizing that people are becoming more adventurous with their holidays,” says Chris Harvey, CEO of Squaremouth, America’s fastest growing comparison web site for travel insurance. “So they need policies that are custom-fit to more active and exotic tastes.”

Travel Guard’s Adventure Travel Protection Plan* is one such example of a just-launched policy catering specifically to modern adventurers.

The plan covers activities typically excluded in traditional plans — from mountaineering to aviation, hang gliding, skydiving, parachuting and bungee jumping.

Along with basic coverage, it includes:

increased benefits for lost or delayed sports equipment, plus a refund for the cost of licenses or permits if an out-of-state trip had to be cancelled or interrupted.

optional rental car insurance; air flight accident insurance; increased medical insurance and medical evacuation insurance

the choice to boost maximum coverage of sports equipment and personal effects from $2,500 to $5,000

an option to cancel travel for work reasons — or for any reason – as long as the policy is purchased within 15 days of putting down a trip deposit
coverage at no additional cost for one child under age 17 per accompanying adult

Adventure travel enthusiasts can search Squaremouth.com to compare details of this and hundreds of other travel insurance policies, all laid out in an easy-to-search format.
