Insured Activities


We have designed our sports and activities cover to be as flexible and broad as we can while keeping prices sensible.
If an activity is not listed, then this insurance WILL NOT COVER that activity.

Please note the following important conditions:-

  1. No sports or activities are covered in a professional capacity.
  2. The recommended/recognised Safety Equipment must be worn.
  3. You must follow any safety procedures, rules and regulations that the company providing your activity operates.
  4. Search and Rescue is recommended for some activities (e.g. hiking, yachting outside territorial waters), in some cases the £5,000 benefit we will pay may not be enough cover.
  5. Participation in sports or activities must be incidental to the main purpose of the trip, and must not be either the main focus, or a significant proportion, of that trip.

We have categorised the activities by risk and indicated the Medical Excess that would apply in each case.
