extreme sports insurance

As standard our policies include 100+ sports and activities, this offers cover for a wide range of activities for backpackers. However, we know that some of our customers like to take part in more extreme sports such as Alpine Mountain Biking, black water rafting, Cascading, Caving/pot holing, Gorge scrambling/walking, Paragliding, Rock climbing and many more. You can easily add cover for these additional, higher risk activities after your purchase, you'll pay by the day or week, so you don't pay for cover you don't need - it's quick, easy and all the information you need is available in your Customer Zone.

A number of winter sports can also be included as an additional extra to your cover - simply make sure you select 'Yes' to "Wintersports travel insurance cover" to make sure you are protected.

Introducing the
Doctor Please! app

For minor medical issues, you can now speak to a UK GP via a video call at a time and place convenient to you.

It's cheaper and more convenient than seeing a local private doctor and in most cases, they'll be able to issue you a local prescription.
