I am a resident in the US and ride a motorcycle. My friend is visiting from outside US and the standard visitor insurances exclude coverage for being motorcycle passenger. Can I get coverage using atlas america by WorldTrips?
Please help with clarification.

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,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.Patriot Platinum :
If you have further questions or concerns, please email us in response.
Regards,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...

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 DiplomatInternational 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!

Just making enquiries about the coverage for extreme sports and organised sports for studentsDear Steve,
Thank you for contacting us for Sports Insurance coverage needs!
Here is a plan that shows the coverage for extreme sports and organised sports for students
The Trawick International travel insurance offers comprehensive coverage for US travelers taking part in adventure or extreme sports.
Some student health insurance plans provide coverage for organized sports that come under intercollegiate and interscholastic activities. Example of this are plans offered by International Medical Group (IMG) namely:
Student Secure Select Student Health AdvantageThere are different factors for buying best health insurance for USA visitors. Visitors should compare fixed benefits and comprehensive visitor insurance plans.
A prudent and well informed traveler will make the correct choice while buying tourist insurance in USA for his or her unique needs.
There is no denying that travel insurance to USA is unfortunately very expensive. The main reason for this is simply because the cost of healthcare in the USA is very expensive and the travel insurance USA costs are directly related to the healthcare costs.One more factor for some USA travel insurance plans to be very expensive is that there are specially designed travel insurance for USA plans available for older travelers, with higher medical coverage as well as some plans with coverage for pre-existing ailments.
There are many international travel health insurance plans for coverage both in the USA as well as around the world offered by US insurance providers. Given the several travel insurance international options, it can be confusing to find the best health insurance for international travel for your needs. What is very useful in making this decision is to compare travel insurance USA of different companies.
The travel insurance comparison allows travelers compare prices as well as coverage benefits in an objective manner. The traveler can change relevant factors like the medical maximum coverage required, the international traveler insurance deductible, any international travel health insurance plans with coverage for pre-existing ailments, travel insurance international coverage for Covid19 ... The global travel insurance comparison also allows travelers to buy the best travel insurance based on ones needs by completing an online application and paying using a credt card. One completing the purchase the travel insurance plan is emailed to the customer.
It’s that time again when the school year is starting to kick in for kids and young adults all across the USA! I am getting regular requests for insurance for international students that will include coverage for participation in a team sport. We do have some options for these individuals, so I thought I could lay some of them out here.
One of the best international sports student insurance is the Diplomat America or the Diplomat LongTerm Insurance plans offered by Global Underwriters. These plans have a collegiate sports rider in which you choose “Low”, “Middle” and “High” option depending on your sport. The main difference is the LongTerm plan allows you to extend the policy and it also allows up to 90 day trips back to your home country (per year).
The Diplomat America only allows 14 days of travel back to the home country (after which the policy will expire). The sports covered are: (1) Low Option - additional $34 flat monthly rate: Ballet; Baseball; Cheerleading; Cross Country; Diving; Equestrian; Fencing; Field Hockey; Golf; Polo (Horse); Polo (Water); Rowing; Softball; Surfing; Swimming; Tennis; Track & Field; Volleyball. (2) Middle Option - additional $48 flat monthly rate: Basketball; Competitive Cycling (Road, Track, CX); Ice Hockey; Inline Skating (Helmet & Proper Equipment Required); Lacrosse; Martial Arts/Karate; Modern Pentathlon; Skiing (Slalom, Giant Slalom, Downhill); Ski Jumping; Wrestling. (3) High Option - additional $102 flat monthly rate: Football (No Division One); Gymnastics; Rugby (No Division One); Soccer. This plan will cost about $87 per month for a 21 year old (without the athletic sports rider).
Another high school sports insurance for international students option is the Patriot Exchange insurance offered by IMG. It is much more economical than the Diplomat America plan, however, it does NOT include varsity sports teams regulated by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) nor the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). You only get this coverage if you choose the “Add-on” Rider (NOT the Adventure Sports Rider). This plan can also be used to cover high school sports team participation and can be a good fit for many student athletes. Coverage of $250,000 maximum with a $100 deductible starts at $73 per month for a young adult (without the add-on; +$7 with the add-on).
There are a few other student plans that include coverage for student athletes on club teams and sports teams, but they limit coverage to $5000 or less, such as the Navigator for Student (by GeoBlue), StudentSecure Select plans (by WorldTrips), and Student Health Advantage plans (by IMG).
If you have questions about these plans or other situations for your student, please do not hesitate to call our friendly staff so we can advise you and guide you to the best choice for your student. Happy studying!
