Sports Travel Insurance

Fantastic company, wouldn’t go anywhere else! Great customer service and competitive pricing – 5 stars from me!

Outstanding service! The support provided when my husband had an accident in France could not be faulted.

100% confidence in this company. I unfortunately had to make a claim last year when my golf clubs were stolen. The claims process was straightforward and well supported by SportsCover Direct.

First class! Simple, efficient and professional. The whole process was extremely simple from beginning to end.

I have used SportsCover Direct several times now for sports and summer sun insurance. They are first class at covering pre-existing medical conditions.

    What does sports travel insurance cover?

     

    Sports Travel Insurance differs from most basic travel policies as it will also protect you whilst participating in a large range of sports abroad and even in the UK. This includes extreme sports, competitions and training camps, which in most cases would not be covered under many other standard travel insurance policies.

     

    It 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 will 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 £5600

    Value for money

    Keep your premium to an absolute minimum. Select the sport(s) that you’ll be doing on your trip, the zone or country where you will be doing this, and the dates that you will leave and return to your country of residence. We cover most adventure sports and activities. As an added benefit, we’ll automatically cover you for every sport in the same sports groups as those chosen, plus all other sports and activities that appear in lower sports groups.

    Competing abroad

    Unless we have labelled a sport, adventure sport or activity as “non-competitive” or “excluding competition” then you will be covered under our Sports Travel Insurance to compete abroad. Where a sport is labelled with “non competitive” or “excluding competition” you will often find another option which says “competitive” or “including competition”.
