At Puffin we offer a range of "bolt-on" benefits/cover to meet your specific needs. By offering this as optional cover, not only do we keep the price of our standard policies low, we are also able to design the bolt-on benefits without compromise.
The purpose of this option is to provide cover specifically for a Winter sports trip that involves activities or sports that are on snow or ice. It’s important to check the sports and other activities section of the policy wording to ensure that any activities that you plan to participate in as part of your Winter sports trip are covered. We also add several winter sports specific benefits including equipment (owned or rented) cover, such as ski equipment hire if your own is delayed, compensation as below:
Where you have purchased an annual multitrip policy you are only covered for 17 days of Winter Sports activity during the insurance period. Your limit will be displayed in your policy schedule.
Included as standard on all policies up to £1,000 to cover your gadget while you're on your trip. This optional additional cover increases your gadget cover by £1000, giving you a total cover of £2000. Gadget cover will protect you for the costs of repair or replacing your gadgets if they are accidentally lost, stolen or damaged. Please note your gadgets are subject to depreciation as they get older, and this may impact how much money you get back for your gadget.
The gadgets we cover are mobile phones, iphones, tablets, ipads, e-readers/kindles, sat navs, handheld games consoles, portable DVD players, headphones, wireless speakers, digital cameras, laptops, ipods/mp3 players, go pros and smart watches. This policy will not cover everything such as Drones.
If your gadget was bought new or is refurbished it must have been bought from a UK company and you have a proof of purchase, such as the receipt. If your gadget was a gift or bought second-hand then, in addition to a proof of purchase, we also need a signed letter from the original owner confirming you as the owner.
This Optional Cover is required if you plan to go on a Cruise holiday. As well as ensuring that all other aspects of your policy remain valid, it adds the following cover:
