What is Ski Equipment Cover?

Ski equipment means that you are covered up to £800 for the loss, theft or damage to ski equipment that you either own, have borrowed or have hired. It also means you are covered for the cost of the hire of ski equipment following the loss, theft or damage of ski equipment insured by us as well the delayed arrival of ski equipment.

Am I Covered for Piste Rescue or Airlift?

Emergency Medical Expenses that is included as standard on Voyager Plus Travel Insurance is extended on the Winter Sports option to include the cost of piste rescue if medically necessary. Consequently, If the worst were to happen and you needed a helicopter to airlift you from the mountain, this is unlikely to be covered if you do not have Winter Sports cover. Therefore, it is extremely important to add Winter Sports cover to your Travel Insurance policy as even a short helicopter trip can cost £1,000s!
