Activity Packs

Unlike other policies we cover many sports and activities as standard, no additional premium is required for activities listed as those covered as standard. We have categorised the activities that are not covered as standard into three further bands. If you do not see your chosen activity, do not worry, we may cover it, but you must contact us so we can discuss the activity and what, if any additional premium is necessary. The activities covered are on a ‘non incidental basis’ – meaning that your chosen activity is not the sole purpose of your trip (with the exception of winter sports whereby you can opt to have specific winter cover included to cover you for the entire duration of your trip). 

There is no cover under Section 5 – Legal and Liability from the policy wording for sports or activities marked with *
