Sports and Hazardous Activity Travel Insurance
If you’re planning on taking part in any sports or activities as part of your holiday it is important to understand whether it is covered on your Travel Insurance policy before you do. This is because if you were to have an accident whilst partaking in a sport or activity that is not covered on policy then your claim for medical expenses could be declined, leaving you out of pocket.
Fortunately, Voyager Plus Travel Insurance provides cover for over 100 sports and activities, such as water skiing, jet skiing, volleyball or kayaking (grades 1-3 rivers/sea), on Short Stay, Long Stay and Annual Multi-Trip Travel Insurance policies without charging an additional premium.
For the more daring of travellers that like to push the boundaries or try new things when on holiday, you have the option to extend your travel insurance policy to include additional hazardous or extreme sports and activities by adding our “Action” or “Action Plus” Activities cover on the ‘Your Quote’ section when getting a quote.
For more information on what sports and activities are covered as standard on Voyager Plus Travel Insurance policies please see the policy wording.
