So many Canadians choose to include adventurous activities into their travel plans. Simply relying on workplace, or credit card coverage, or even purchasing a medical travel medical insurance policy, may not be enough. The result of inadequate coverage may be financial ruin.
What vacation activities may be deemed high risk, dangerous, hazardous or extreme?
While policies vary greatly, here are a few examples of common vacation plans which may not be covered under a standard travel medical insurance policy:
- Skydiving
- Scuba diving
- Rock or ice climbing
- Hang gliding
- White water rafting
- Skiing or ski jumping
- Car or motorcycle racing
- Competitive or professional sports and endurance activities
If there’s even a chance that your vacation plans may include behaviour which could be deemed high-risk, it’s absolutely imperative that you speak with a travel medical insurance professional who can find you the policy you need. You’ll better enjoy your adventures knowing that you have the coverage in place.
