05. Comprehensive Medical Insurance coverage for motorcycle tourist

Hi,

I will be traveling to the USA 20th July to 6th Sep and will do motorcycle touring, part of it off-road. We are shipping our own dual purpose bikes over there, as we have done plenty riding within New Zealand.

Wish to inquire about comprehensive medical insurance that does not exclude this type of activity. I am part of a group of nine doing this, we are in our 50's and owned/ridden motorcycles most of our lives.

Can you please confirm any exclusions I should be aware off that may relate to this type of activity.

Thanks,
Wilhelm


Dear Wilhelm,

As long as you are not doing Motocross (MX), then I would rather suggest the Patriot America plan which includes motorcycle riding without the adventure sports rider. That coverage will go up to the maximum of the plan for any injury sustained while on the motorcycle.
However, if you will be doing motocross or MX racing, then the Diplomat America would be the only one which would cover that. The difference is that you MUST purchase the sports rider and any injury sustained would be covered only up to $20,000 (not the maximum of the policy). So that would be a more limiting coverage that what is available with the Patriot America plan.

Patriot Platinum :

06. Travel Health Insurance coverage for mountain climbing, skiing

Hi,

Just emailing regarding your mountaineering insurance policy. Could I check what is your stance on self-guided mountaineering trips below 7000m? Are such trips still covered under your policy? Also, given that your coverage excludes mountains above 7000m, you might want to exclude Mt Everest (8848m) on your list of suggested mountains...

Thanks,
Nicholas Chee

07. Insurance coverage for base jump, from Italy visiting Turkey

Hi,

Hello, I'm Italian And I'm going to Turkey for a legal base jump event.

Have you an insurance plan which cover me?

Thanks,

Mario

Dear Mario,

Thank you for choosing us for your travel insurance request. The only coverage available for base jumping is a plan called Diplomat

International offered by Global Underwriters.

Here is the link to get a quote for the policy and look over the brochure:

Diplomat America :

You must choose the sports rider called " Athletic and Hazardous Activity Rider" and specifically choose "sky diving" to be covered. This will increase the cost of your insurance.

The online application is a little cumbersome . You must choose the age of the traveler . Then choose the plan (Plan A for $50,000 maximum, etc) and deductible for the policy. The deductible is what you must pay first before the insurance starts to pay on the insured's behalf. Note that the maximum and deductible are per person. Choose the country of destination. Enter the start (or effective) and end dates of the policy (note that there is a 15 day minimum).

Once you have that filled out, you must click on the button labelled "Add to Itinerary". At this point, you will have the opportunity to choose a rider. Select the "Athletic, Sports and Hazardous Activity Rider" from the drop down menu. Then select all applicable sports and activities you want to be covered and in your case, you must choose "Sky Diving".

Finally, choose "Calculate Quote" at the bottom of the page. The page will then show you the cost of the insurance for the parameters you entered. If you decrease the maximum of the plan or increase the deductible, this will lower the cost of your insurance. If you want to make changes, select "Change Quote" and alter parameters as desired, or select "Purchase Policy" to make an online purchase.

Once your purchase is complete, you will get an onscreen message giving you your insurance details as well as a confirmation email. You should print out your ID cards to carry with you on your trip as these will have all the relevant information needed to access your insurance should you need it.

Please feel free to call or email us with any further questions or concerns you may have. We wish you safe and exciting travel!
