Our sports accident insurance policy is being increasingly used by extreme sports enthusiasts wanting personal accident protection to insure them against the financial effects of a sports injury sustained while participating in extreme sports within their home country. Our extreme sports accident insurance is an annual or single/multi-day policy offering 24hr sports accident cover.
What does Extreme Sports Travel Insurance cover?
Our Extreme Sports Insurance works just like any other travel insurance, meaning that it will protect you should you have an accident or illness abroad, lose your luggage or experience delays. It can even reimburse the cost of your lost, stolen or damaged sports equipment. The main benefits include:
• Emergency Medical Expenses & Repatriation
• Cancellation & Curtailment
• Personal Accident cover
• Personal Liability
• Delayed, lost or stolen baggage
• Activity & Race Entry Fees
• Travel Delay, Abandonment and Missed Departure
• Scheduled airline failure
• Sports Equipment cover up to £5,600.
How is Extreme Sports Travel Insurance different?
Our Extreme Sports Travel Insurance differs from standard travel policies as it will also protect you whilst participating in a large range of extreme sports both abroad and in the UK. This includes competitions and training camps, which in most cases would not be covered under many other basic travel insurance policies. What’s more, we provide cover for over 500 sports and activities and we split them into seven sports groups. If for instance your extreme sport is in our sports group 4, this means you would also be covered for all sports in the same group and any lower groups. Please check our full list of sports activities here.
