Stevens
Point, WI – April 2019 / Newsmaker Alert / Berkshire
Hathaway Travel Protection (BHTP), a leading provider of travel insurance,
announces the launch of AdrenalineCare™,
a new comprehensive travel insurance that is specifically tailored for
adventure travelers, with features such as enhanced baggage protection,
coverage for extreme activities and higher medical limits.
“Our
annual State of Travel Insurance
study found that adventure travel continues to be one of the most popular
and fastest-growing travel types,” said Dean
Sivley, president of BHTP. “Adventure travelers are eager to explore
the world but also know that their adrenaline-packed trips warrant more
protection. We created AdrenalineCare so they can fully enjoy their adventures
without worrying about equipment delays or insufficient medical coverage
if traveling in a remote location.”
AdrenalineCare
coverage includes:
-
Up to
$750,000 in medical evacuation coverage, BHTP’s highest limits
-
Up to
$50,000 in emergency travel medical insurance
-
Up to
$500 in equipment delay coverage if the traveler’s sports equipment such
as skis, scuba gear, mountain climbing equipment or other gear is delayed
6 hours or longer
-
Up to
$1,500 in baggage coverage to cover lost, stolen or damaged luggage
-
A $150
fixed benefit for the inconvenience if baggage is delayed 12 or more hours;
if eligible, travelers are awarded the full $150 to use as they wish for
simply enduring the delay
-
Up to
$200 to reimburse the fee paid for a hunting or fishing license if the
insured must cancel
-
Comprehensive
trip cancellation, interruption, delay, and missed connection protection
-
24/7 global
travel assistance available via phone or email for travel and medical emergencies.
According
to BHTP’s State of Travel Insurance 2019 report, adventure travelers
take more trips than regular road trippers (4.87 annually versus 3.45).
Whether they are traveling to experience a sport like motor racing, or
packing expensive equipment to ski or climb, they also face greater risk.
AdrenalineCare is tailored specifically for these adventurous travelers.
Well-known
for its revolutionary travel insurance products and services, BHTP also
provides travelers with an easy “pic-and-a-click” claims process, flight
tracking and expedited payments for travel disruptions via BHTP Burst.
