Taking a leap into the abyss – aka bungee jumping – is surely one of the most breathtaking adventure activities out there. While there many brilliant bungee destinations all over the world, New Zealand’s South Island is still one of the most popular for good reason. The first commercial bungee jumping operation started there and it’s a hub for all kinds of thrills, such as canyoning, rafting and snowshoeing, all amidst spectacular scenery.
But before you take the leap of faith though, you want to secure your safety net for those unexpected events that can quickly derail your plans. World Nomads offers travel insurance* that covers more than 250 activities for US residents, including bungee jumping.
What does travel insurance for bungee jumping cover?
World Nomads offers four plans – Standard, Explorer, Epic and Annual. Every plan covers bungee jumping, and our Explorer and Epic plans cover other extreme adventures and activities at higher altitudes.
If you plan to take numerous trips during the year, then the Annual Plan could be best for you. This plan covers the same activities as the Standard Plan.
No matter what plan you choose, travel insurance is designed to cover losses arising from sudden, unexpected, and unforeseeable circumstances. For US residents, World Nomads may offer coverage for:
- Baggage and Gear: If the airline loses or delays your bags, our non-insurance service Blue Ribbon Bags will track and expedite their return. Simply report your lost airline bags and Blue Ribbon Bags will take it from there. If your baggage or personal items can’t be located, or they’ve been damaged or stolen, our gear coverage may help with reimbursement of the cost to repair or replace damaged, lost or stolen items. You need to submit receipts, along with police reports or an incident report from your carrier (if your belongings were lost in transit).
- Emergency Medical Expenses: You never know what might happen before, during or after you take your leap. Emergency medical expense coverage could help protect your wallet if you need urgent medical treatment for an injury or sickness.
- Emergency Evacuation: Your bungee adventure may be far away from medical facilities. With medical evacuation coverage, the 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team could help you get transported to a place that offers the level of care you need.
- Trip cancellation or interruption: If your trip is cancelled, interrupted, or delayed due to an unforeseen event, you may be able to recover your nonrefundable, prepaid travel expenses through our trip cancellation, trip interruption or trip delay coverage.
What's not covered by travel insurance?
World Nomads travel insurance does not cover:
- Participation in any professional sports event.
- Any medical bills related to a pre-existing condition, unless you purchased the Epic or Explorer plan during the time-sensitive period were medically able to travel at the time of purchase. Not following your doctor’s instructions or what the 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team advises you to do.
- Any adventure activities not listed in your insurance plan.
- If travelling domestically, bungee jumping within 100 miles of your home.
