Do I Need Sports Insurance?
What Is Sports Insurance for?
Whether you’re planning on doing any diving, climbing, zip lining, cliff jumping, or other extreme sports on your vacation, Optional Sports Coverage is extra coverage for the adventurous traveler. It protects you while you’re traveling outside of British Columbia, giving you the peace of mind that you don't need to worry about any extra expenses on your vacation. This insurance gives you extra protection from your standard Emergency Medical Insurance which doesn't cover a lot of sporting activities.
At Simmons Insurance Consultants we have you covered for all the sports and extreme activities you love. With the right insurance policy, we can cover both amateurs and professionals who need extra coverage.
