For lovers of cycling, travelling through a city or a whole region on two wheels can be an eye-opening experience. It can help you get in shape, it’s environmentally friendly, and you get to make as many pit stops to rest and explore as you want. E-biking has added an extra level of awesomeness to the cycling scene, opening it up to travellers of all abilities.
But with all the positives of cycling, there’s also the chance that you could suffer an accident and end up with a sprained ankle, a broken arm, or even worse, end up in the hospital due to a major accident. That’s why you should consider travel insurance if you need to cover your tracks.
If you are not using your bike as your main mode of transportation during your trip but are just riding for pleasure as you take in the beauty of new surroundings, World Nomads travel insurance plans could cover you for cycling up to 6,000 meters in elevation.
Are you hoping to enjoy some “me time” and do some independent touring on your bike? Or are you wanting to make new friends and join an organized cycling tour? World Nomads travel insurance could cover either situation.
There are two different levels of cycling coverage for Canadian residents – cycling up to 3,000 meters in elevation and cycling up to 6,000 meters in elevation.
Depending on what new heights you’ll be reaching during your trip, you may need to pay an additional premium when you purchase your policy. Level 1 activities are automatically covered, but you will still need to list this when you purchase your policy. If you are participating in level 2 and 3 activities, you will need to pay an extra premium. Put some thought into what you plan to do or may decide to do on your trip so that you can pick the best travel insurance for your needs.
Will your travels include even more sports and adventures? World Nomads covers more than 250 activities for Canadian residents and has two different plans – Standard and Explorer. The Explorer plan has higher benefit limits and/or sub-limits than the Standard. When you get a quote, you can compare the coverage of both plans side by side.
You’ll need to list all of the activities that you plan to participate in while on your trip at the time that you purchase your policy. Cycling may be the main reason for your trip but think about all the other fun things that you might be doing so that you are covered for all your adventures.
You won’t be able to add or remove activities after you make your purchase, so make sure you add them all at that time. If you are participating in an activity that isn’t listed in your policy wording, you will need to contact us to make sure you’re covered.
For Canadian residents, World Nomads may offer coverage for:
Travel insurance can assist with a lot, but there are some things it doesn’t cover. Cycling on Yungas Road in Bolivia is one of those things. It has earned the title of “Death Road” for a reason, so we don’t advise you to take on that adventure, and we won’t offer coverage if you do. Some other things that are not covered include:
