Still not convinced? Here are a few arguments that we hear all-too-often:


MYTH: “I am going on this trip no matter what happens!”FACT: Are you willing to bet and potentially lose the entire cost of the trip if a medical emergency, a hurricane, or another unpredicted event prevents you from traveling?


Â
MYTH: “This coverage is too expensive!”FACT: Travel insurance is a minimal investment compared to the total cost of your trip. The total price for your coverage is usually between 5 – 8% of the total cost of your trip!


MYTH: “I already have insurance coverage.”FACT: This program provides such things as emergency medical assistance, evacuation coverage, and a Sportsmans Hotline to assist you during your trip – much more than most other policies!

 Our hope and expectation is that your destination angling trip will go without a hitch (as 99.9% do). Weigh the situation, however, and decide for yourself whether to purchase a supplemental trip insurance policy.

“Being without travel insurance is kin to standing on Madison Avenue buck naked at five in the afternoon. It sounds interesting … but in reality its not something that makes a whole lot of sense! My wife and I had a trip of a lifetime booked for Alaska that sadly had to be canceled at the last minute. At Yellow Dog’s suggestion, we had insured the trip through Travel Guard. When I contacted Yellow Dog they expressed genuine concern about the family member who was very ill, and then contacted Travel Guard to start the claim process. When I called Travel Guard I spoke to a real person, who was extremely professional and helpful. She also gave me her direct phone number and told me to call with anything. Once the paperwork was filed, Travel Guard let me know exactly how long the review process would take. While the claim process was going on, Yellow Dog also called me periodically to see how things were proceeding and to make sure that everything was taken care of. In a reasonable amount of time, and the claim was paid in full. We’ve since rebooked the Alaska trip, and needless to say, we’ve insured the trip through Travel Guard.” – Don O. (Durango, CO)
INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY EVACUATION INSURANCE THROUGH GLOBAL RESCUE
When you travel, chances are good that your personal medical insurance won’t bring you home or get you the emergency medical care you need.  An emergency evacuation membership could save your life. Yellow Dog Flyfishing Adventures works hard to ensure you have a safe and exhilarating experience while on our trips, but unavoidable incidents, unfortunately, do happen. Make sure you’re covered by a premier crisis response provider before you travel.
Additional Information About International Emergency Evacuation Insurance Through Global Rescue
Memberships are all-inclusive and have no deductibles or hidden costs. Memberships are available in short term, single-trip options or annual plans protecting all domestic and international travel. Standard Trip Insurance is an important financial planning instrument but is not designed to provide immediate emergency services. Although some trip insurance programs claim to offer medical evacuations and repatriations, the benefits are written with extensive limits and are designed more for reimbursement than timely emergency action. Would you rather a critical care paramedic backed by Johns Hopkins or an insurance claims adjuster answer the phone during your emergency? Yellow Dog Flyfishing Adventures strongly recommends purchasing a membership to protect yourself and your family when the next emergency occurs.

Medical evacuations to your choice of hospital in your home country

“I went to Mt. Everest this year and had Global Rescue insurance. I highly recommend it to anyone. They rescued many people off of Everest after the earthquake – for free. THEY are the go-to people for foreign rescue. Their doctors are the best available.” – Farnum A.
