A Trophy Plan: Outdoorsmen Now Covered by Travel Insurance Program For Hunting and Fishing Trips

Sportsman's Travel Insurance Plan Combines Coverage of Lost or Delayed Hunting and Fishing Gear With Trip Cancellation Coverage, Medical Evacuation Coverage, a "Sportsman's Hotline" & Travel Assistance.

Stevens Point, WI - As summer gives way to crisp Autumn days, sportsmen—and women—are cleaning and oiling their favorite hunting rifles and winding fresh line onto their fishing reels, thinking ahead to that Alaskan hunt or a dream fishing trip to South America.

But one thing they may not be thinking about is protecting their dream sporting trip from the potential pitfalls that can spoil even the most carefully planned trip—and, come to think of it, why would they? There has never before been a simple way to ensure smooth, hassle-free hunting and fishing trips—but there is now, as Travel Guard International, the nation's largest provider of travel insurance plans and assistance services, declares open season on sportsman's travel headaches with the launch of Sportsman's Travel Insurance.

Sportsman's Travel Insurance customizes travel insurance coverage through Travel Guard—including trip cancellation, interruption and delay; high-limit medical expense and emergency medical transportation; and travel agent services—with a wide array of protection and services specially designed for hunting and fishing trips. The plan, available at Sportsman's Travel Insurance, covers loss, theft, damage or delay of hunting and fishing equipment during a trip, and comes with a dedicated Sportsman's Hotline. The hotline provides up-to-the-minute weather, hunting and fishing reports; local hunting regulations and locations of game registration stations; locations of nearby bait, tackle and sporting goods stores; construction and detour information (when driving to destination) and 24-hour roadside assistance services including towing, fuel, flat tire service, fluid delivery, jump-start and lock-out. The plan also reimburses for lost hunting licenses, which with special tags or foreign permits can run in to the hundreds of dollars.
Like every Travel Guard plan, Sportsman's Travel Insurance plans come with a wide array of traveler assistance services, including 24-hour travel assistance—travel documents assistance, emergency cash transfers, emergency message relay, and interpretation services—as well as pre-trip travel advisories.

The Sportsman's Travel Insurance plan is available online at www.SportsmansTravelInsurance.com or by calling 1-866-877-3241.
