Hiking travel insurance

Hiking isn’t always easy. It can sometimes take a lot of energy (and a good pair of boots). Getting travel insurance that covers hiking, however, is easy.

We believe people should be able to get up to more on their holidays, which is why we include cover for over 100 activities and sports (including hiking) with all our travel insurance policies.

What’s covered with hiking insurance?

Our hiking cover includes medical and other expenses, abandoning or cutting your holiday short and much more. Just make sure you check the terms and conditions as limitations do apply.

Any travel insurance policy from InsureandGo covers you for hiking up to 3,000 metres altitude with no limit on distance.  If you’ll be heading higher, don’t worry – we can cover hiking between 3,000 and 5,000 metres, you’ll just need to choose our Hazardous Activities add-on when you buy your policy.

You’ll be covered for hiking while you’re away, even if you’re doing it for your entire trip.

For a full list of what’s included in our hiking travel insurance, and to make sure you have exactly what you need covered, please see our policy booklets or contact us.

We also offer cover for over 100 sports and activities as standard with all our travel insurance policies, meaning you can get up to more on your holiday.
