Adventure Travel Insurance
At TrekAmerica we believe that your safety and enjoyment are the most important parts of your holiday. Therefore travel insurance is mandatory whenever you travel. Before you join your TrekAmerica tour you MUST be covered by insurance that includes adequate coverage for baggage, medical expenses and the cost of repatriation should you become too ill to continue to travel. In addition to this, we strongly recommend that you include coverage for tour cancellation in the event that you must cancel your reservation prior to departure because of serious illness or injury to yourself, a member of your immediate family or travelling companions. (Please see sections 3, 4, 5 and 15 of our Booking Terms ).
If you join a TrekAmerica tour without adequate insurance you MAY NOT be allowed to continue with no right to a refund. It is a mistake to think that it will never happen to you.
The TrekAmerica policy as shown below is specially designed to include all the activities listed in our brochure and on this website. If you have arranged alternative insurance please ensure your own policy covers all the optional activities you may wish to participate in. Please note that travel insurance provided free of charge by credit card companies usually does not provide cover for adventurous activities, tour cancellation or high enough Medical coverage for North America.
Travel Insurance
Our policy is available to anybody no matter what nationality or where you live in the World (U.S residents, travelling within the US, are not covered by Section A and E as shown below). The 24 Hour Worldwide emergency Medical Service is provided by Specialty Assistance Limited, experts in providing friendly and professional emergency help around the clock.
Our policy is underwritten by AXA Insurance plc and arranged by Campbell Irvine Insurance Brokers who are available on +44 (0) 207 937 6981 to help you with any enquiries that you may have relating to the cover offered.
If you wish to purchase our Travel Insurance please indicate on your booking form or by selecting the relevant box on the on-line booking system. The payment will automatically be deducted from your credit card in addition to the tour deposit or full payment.
