Key Facts about our service

rock climbing Insurance


SportsCover Direct specialises in insurance for active people. We can provide Rock climbing insurance and cover individuals at home and abroad on trips. Every year hundreds of Rock climbers get covered with us for climbing in the UK and when they go abroad.

The number of Rock climbers in the UK is on the increase - however so is the number of injuries, both minor and serious. Whether it’s the risk to yourself or others that concerns you – you shouldn’t wait until it is too late. Be very aware that Rock climbing can be a very high risk activity, and the fault for damage or injury might not be yours. The risk of injury can be high.

Whilst no-one can prevent Rock climbing accidents from happening we all have it in our power to reduce the effects when they do. Why not take action now, before an incident occurs?

Whether you are seeking liability cover, are travelling abroad, wanting protection at home or are worried about loss of earnings we can cover you.

We will also cover a very broad range of other sports and leisure activities in addition to Rock climbing. Our policies are increasingly chosen by climbers in the UK and Ireland. Two types of policy are available for individuals, who are UK or Irish residents, to participate as amateurs.


The VentureGuard scheme provides single trip or annual cover for UK residents for holidays world-wide and can include cover for Rock climbing anywhere in the world.

Benefits include:

  • Medical expenses following an accident whilst riding or illness during a trip and includes emergency repatriation cover
  • Personal Liability Protection (Third party liability) in the case of damage caused to a third party or third party property whilst riding during a trip
  • Cancellation cover for any costs due to cancellation or delay
  • Baggage cover

If you have existing travel cover with another insurer but it does not include cover for Rock climbing, we can provide cover for your trip as a “TopUp”.

Rock climbing holidays should be fun but the unexpected can happen and by taking out a VentureGuard policy for your trip, you ensure that if you have an accident whilst on holiday, the most important issues can be taken care of such as medical expenses and personal liability.
