Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection (“BHTP”) has launched “AdrenalineCare,” which it characterized in a statement as a new comprehensive travel insurance 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, the 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.”

BHTP said that 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 six 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; and
• 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, BHTP said.
