Your adventure with Pristine Trails promises to be unforgettable. To ensure you feel secure from the moment you start planning until your return, purchasing travel insurance is a requirement. This step is crucial for protecting both yourself and your trip investment from unforeseen events.
For all our adventures, we mandate travel insurance that encompasses comprehensive travel medical coverage. This policy must offer at least $150,000 in medical coverage, including provisions for injury, medical care, evacuation, and repatriation. For hikers of Mt. Kilimanjaro, policies must cover trekking up to an altitude of 6000 meters.
Our priority is your well-being, ensuring you’re supported in both emergency and non-emergency situations while you’re exploring new horizons.
We recommend Wanderwell, a trusted travel insurance provider known for its reliability and commitment to sustainability. As a Certified B-Corp and 1% for the Planet member, Wanderwell offers both Travel Medical and Trip Protection plans. Aligning with our values, a part of your insurance purchase through Wanderwell contributes to the 1% for the Planet Impact Fund, enhancing your trip’s positive environmental impact.
For both US and non-US residents, we are pleased to also recommend Global Rescue, a trusted leader in worldwide medical evacuation and travel protection. Global Rescue offers 24/7 assistance, medical advisory services, and emergency evacuation from remote locations, ensuring you’re covered wherever your adventure takes you.
Choosing Wanderwell or Global Rescue for your insurance needs is not mandatory but highly recommended due to their shared ethos of giving back.
Wanderwell’s Voyage plan is tailored for most trips, offering extensive coverage for trip cancellation, interruption, and delays, along with $250,000 in primary travel medical coverage, emergency medical evacuation, and much more.
Meanwhile, Global Rescue offers a travel protection plan that can include Cancel for Any Reason, Lost or Damaged Luggage, and Travel Medical Expenses benefits.*
*Please consult your chosen insurance provider for detailed coverage information and the policy certificate. Certain conditions, such as coverage for pre-existing conditions and the option to add a Cancellation for Any Reason (CFAR) upgrade, are time-sensitive.
Do I have to purchase insurance through Wanderwell or Global Rescue?
You can choose any insurance provider that meets your needs so long as the policy includes at least $150,000 in medical coverage, covering injury, medical care, evacuation, and repatriation. Remember, Wanderwell is only available to US residents, while Global Rescue is recommended for non-US residents and US residents alike.
When should I purchase trip insurance?
To maximize coverage, including benefits for pre-existing conditions and the option for Cancellation for Any Reason (CFAR) upgrades (if eligible), we recommend purchasing insurance within 10 days of your first trip payment (flights, packages, tours, etc.).
Remember, insurance coverage begins the day after purchase, so early acquisition is key for comprehensive protection.
