What is Sports Equipment Delay travel insurance?

Sports Equipment Delay can cover the cost of renting equipment in the event a traveler’s own equipment is delayed while on the way to their destination.

The Sports Equipment Delay benefit can refund travelers up to the maximum coverage amount included on the policy. This benefit only covers equipment that is delayed while a traveler is enroute to their destination, and does not provide a payment if their equipment is delayed on their way home.

Please be aware that coverage and eligibility requirements for this benefit differ by policy. The tables below show the providers that offer Sports Equipment Delay coverage.
