Travel mishaps don't have to melt your snow sports vacation — discover how we can help you get back on track.
At Travelex, we offer snow sports travel insurance on eligible plans!
If you're looking specifically for travel insurance for skiing, you'll need to include our adventure activities upgrade in your policy for coverage to apply.
You can add our adventure activities upgrade to the following plans:
Remember: Our base plans don't cover snow skiing, meaning if you get hurt on the slopes, we won't reimburse you for your emergency medical expenses. But when you buy our adventure activities upgrade, you'll have travel insurance with skiing coverage added to your policy.
Plus, it includes security evacuation and search and rescue coverage — which can come in handy on ski trips. You can learn more about the upgrade on our adventure travel insurance page.
Want our most extensive coverage so you can hit the slopes with extra confidence? Our Ultimate plan is packed with coverage for snowy vacations. Along with higher benefit limits for things like trip cancellation, trip interruption, emergency medical expenses, and emergency medical evacuations, it's our only plan with trip inconvenience coverage. So, if your ski resort closes because 75% of the slopes lack enough snow or a blizzard hits, you're eligible for the benefit. Ultimate is also our only plan that's eligible for all our nine optional upgrades, from additional medical to cancel for any reason.
Snowy landscapes can be as magical as carving the slopes is thrilling, but they're not without their risks. Whether you're a first-time skier or a long-time snowboarder, a slip on the ice or snow can happen to anyone.
If you hurt yourself on the mountain and you've included our adventure activities upgrade in your Travelex policy, we can help in more ways than one:
Our coverage can help you off the mountain, too. Snowstorms and ice can often interfere with flights, and winter season means illnesses are more likely. Our base plans can provide coverage for other travel issues that come with sudden costs, like pre-departure trip cancellation, trip interruption, travel delay, and emergency medical expenses.
Our base plans offer coverage for certain lower-thrill snow sports like recreational dog sledding, ice skating, luging, sledding, sleigh riding, snow mobiling, snowboarding, and tubing.
For more heart-pounding experiences like any form of skiing, ice climbing, and telemarking, you'll want to consider adding our adventure activities upgrade to our Ultimate, Advantage, Essential, or Travel Med Go plan. It removes the exclusion for these types of sports, meaning you can have protection when it matters most.
Absolutely! If you're hitting the slopes with your skis or snowboard, we can help protect your gear. Our base plans include protection for your gear if it's lost, stolen, or damaged during your trip — up to $500 per item.
Want our best coverage for sporting equipment? Our optional baggage upgrade is a smart choice if you're traveling with your ski or snowboard gear. Here's what it offers for your sports stuff:
With our baggage upgrade, you can keep carving up the slopes without worrying about long-term costly replacements or rental fees. Just remember to keep those receipts handy for payable claims so we can reimburse your out-of-pocket costs!
If winter weather throws a snowball at your travel plans, don't worry — we've got you! Here's how we can help if snow and ice try to freeze your fun:
So, whether it's a blizzard, icy roads, or a snowed-in resort, we can help you keep your cool and get back to enjoying your winter adventure!
Yes — as long as you choose our Ultimate plan and meet a few simple steps to qualify for our pre-existing condition exclusion waiver. Here's how to make it happen:
If you follow these steps, you can support your chronic condition (and wallet) in case it acts up while you're enjoying snowy scenery, ice skating, snowboarding, and more.
But remember! You won't have any medical coverage for excluded snow sports like skiing and ice climbing without our adventure activities upgrade. So, for our best pre-existing condition coverage on a skiing or more extreme snow trip, we recommend:
If you're vacationing in a winter wonderland to sightsee or visit family or friends, our base plans could provide the protection you're looking for. Whether you want trip cancellation and interruption coverage or protection against lost baggage or unexpected medical expenses, you can compare our plans to see which one has the right coverage for your trip. Not all snow trips involve winter sports, so if you're looking for coverage but don't need the extra protection of snow sports travel insurance, our base plans can help.
It's easy to find out how much you'll pay so you can hit the slopes with our snow sports travel insurance in tow. Just scroll up and enter your destination in the quote box to start your free online quote.
Remember: To protect yourself (and your wallet) while skiing, be sure to add our adventure activities upgrade to your policy. Without it, skiing-related incidents won't be eligible for coverage. Yes, you'll still have protection for other parts of your trip, but skiing comes with extra risks, so it's a good idea to add our upgrade to your policy.
