Key Facts about our service

Snowboarding Insurance


SportsCover Direct specialises in insurance for active people. Snowboarding and other snow sports are just one of the major sports we cover. We can even arrange cover for your snowboard on our Gold cover. Every year thousands of skiers and snowboarders, groups and families on snowboarding holidays get covered with us for snowboarding in the UK and when they go abroad on holiday's to Europe and the rest of the world.

The number of snowboarders in the UK is on a steady increase - 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 snowboarding can be a very high risk activity, you only need to watch a snowboarding film/DVD or read a magazine to see just how dangerous it can be, and the fault for damage or injury might not always be yours.

Whilst no-one can prevent snowboarding 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 travelling abroad, wanting protection at home or are worried about loss of earnings we can cover you. We can even cover both standard snowboarding (downhill and off-piste) and skiing on the same policy for no extra cost and we also cover amateur competitive snowboarding!

We will also cover a very broad range of other sports and leisure activities in addition to snowboarding and snowsports. Our policies are increasingly chosen by individuals, groups and their families 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 snowboarding and snowsports anywhere in the world. Benefits include:

  • Medical expenses following an accident whilst snowboarding 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 and a sum towards snowboard cover

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

 

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

SportsGuard, is a scheme that an increasing number of skiers use to gain personal accident and sports injury protection to insure against the financial effects of a sports injury sustained whilst snowboarding in the UK. The policy is valid worldwide but is NOT a travel insurance (which can be covered on our VentureGuard travel cover).

The SportsGuard scheme is an annual policy offering 365 day, 24 hour worldwide sports accident cover whilst snowboarding, which can include:

  • Physiotherapy cover
  • Loss of Earnings cover if unable to work due to accident resulting in bodily injury whilst snowboarding
  • Personal Liability Protection in the case of damage caused to a third party whilst snowboarding
  • Legal expenses in event of liability action caused to another whilst snowboarding
  • Personal Accident Benefits if injured whilst snowboarding
  • Rehabilitation cover following accident during snowboarding resulting in bodily injury
  • Cover for all snowsport activities and cover for all other sports in groups 2 and 1

The number of skiers in the UK is on a steady increase. However due to this, so is the likelihood of injury, both small and serious. Whether it’s as a risk to yourself or others - snowboarding is a dangerous activity. We can cover both standard snowboarding (downhill and off-piste) and snowboarding on the same policy and also cover amateur competitive snowboarding!

Whilst you cannot insure against the likelihood of physical injury whilst snowboarding – you can insure against the financial harm that follows temporary or permanent physical disablement from a snowboard related injury.
