Big Bear Lake Resort Association (BBLRA) now offers travel insurance, giving Big Bear vacationers an opportunity to travel to Big Bear worry free! The travel insurance provides protection for guests who need to cancel or interrupt their trip due to unforeseen circumstances.

The plan covers cancellations and interruptions due to an accident, injury, illness or death before or during the trip.

Also, the insurance provides coverage for lost, stolen or damaged sporting equipment, non-refundable lift tickets, lessons and rentals. Other benefits include roadside assistance, vehicle return, emergency medical transportation and 24-hour travel assistance.

“We implemented the insurance program to give guests a sense of security,” said Ken Brengle, CEO for Big Bear Lake Resort Association. “It’s important for guests to know their vacation investment is thoroughly covered.”
