Our Rock Climbing Insurance policy options

Put simply, we offer three different policy options…

1. Travel Insurance

Our Sports Travel Insurance will cover you whilst rock climbing abroad for leisure or competition, and includes cover for medical and repatriation costs, trip cancellation and curtailment, plus more.

2. Travel Insurance Bolt-On

If you have an existing travel insurance policy in place with another provider such as your bank but it does not include cover for rock climbing, we can provide a bolt-on style of protection for your trip.

3. Sports Accident

Our Sports Accident Insurance is designed to protect you whilst rock climbing in the UK, whether that be for leisure or competition. The policy provides a range of benefits including personal liability and income protection.
