Travel Insurance

Pure Adventures now requires travel insurance on all tours. Here is why:

At Pure Adventures, we have always been strong believers in Travel Insurance, which you may have noticed since we keep reminding you to get travel insurance! [See the latest blog about Travel Insurance post-COVID] With over 20 years of experience, we know that cancellation is not something you plan on, and unforeseen circumstances can happen suddenly. More often than not, cancellation fees will apply, and you could lose a great deal of money. 

In light of challenges related to covid and the post-covid travel landscape (illness, flight delays, etc.,) travel insurance is now required of all travelers booking tours with Pure Adventures. This is separate from anything that your credit card may cover on your airfare; this is for the tour itself. Proof of coverage may be required or you will be asked to sign an e-waiver.

You are free to choose your provider, but our preferred travel insurance partner is TravelSafe for travelers based in the US and Canada. Our customers have had the greatest success with coverage and claims with TravelSafe, so we feel most confident in recommending this provider. We also recommend looking very closely at a type of trip insurance called Cancel For Any Reason insurance or CFAR. It is important to note that CFAR is time-sensitive from the time of paying your tour deposit. Usually, you have 2-3 weeks to purchase this particular option.

       

Reasons resulting in cancellation:

• Pandemic-related changes impacting your ability to travel
• Pre-existing health conditions (coverage available if purchased within 21 days of booking your tour)
• Elderly parents get sick
• Death in family
• Kids get a broken arm/ sick and you need to stay home
• Terrorist attack within 30 days of departure in the destination city
• War
• Needing to postpone because of work (some plans include cancel for any reason)
• Natural disasters: wildfires, tsunamis, etc.

Coverage once traveling:

• Covid-related changes to travel, such as quarantine
• Baggage is lost or delayed
• Bringing your own bike, and the bike is lost in transit
• Rental car damage
• Trip interruption: if you have to head home during your trip, all expenses are covered
• Evacuation in case of danger
• Medical expenses while traveling
