Activity and sports travel insurance

What is activity or sports travel insurance?

Does dog sledding, hot air ballooning or jet skiing sound like your kind of holiday? Well for every activity you do abroad, you’ll need your insurance to cover it.

Activity and sports travel insurance will most commonly cover you for any illness or injury that happens as a result of the activity. Some may also include cover for sports equipment, or public liability if you were to damage any people or property whilst taking part. We all know how dangerous an out-of-control skier can be!

To find out which activities are included in your policy, or to find out your medical excess for specific sports, please see the policy wording.

What activities do InsureandGo cover?

Our travel insurance policies include cover for over 100 adventure sports and activities at no extra cost, so you can get up to more on your holiday. From abseiling and badminton to windsurfing and zip lining, InsureandGo have you covered. We can even provide extra cover for more extreme activities like cascading, high diving and quad biking.

Many activities can be covered for the whole time you’re away, but for others you’ll only be covered if the activity is NOT the main purpose of your trip. 

Those sports and activities shown as an ‘activity holiday’ in the policy wording booklet, such as cycle touring or safaris, are covered even if that’s all you’ll be doing on holiday. 

If you have any questions about this, please contact us for more information.
