Specialist Extreme Sports Insurance

‘Extreme Sports’ refers collectively to high adrenaline or dangerous sports. We provide extreme sports insurance for a number of sports considered to be of above-average and high risk, such as paragliding, skydiving and mountaineering.

If you are skydiving, bungee jumping or trying another extreme sport at home our Sports Accident policy can provide personal sports injury insurance, with cover for broken bones, lost income and physiotherapy costs. 

But if you’re heading overseas, our Sports Travel Insurance is for you. Acting like a normal travel cover, with benefits such as flight delays, cancellation and lost baggage, it also includes cover for your sport – some of which are excluded by standard policies.

To get a quick quote, just select the sports you are doing, where you are going and when, and we’ll present you with an instant price and the option to take out your insurance for extreme sports straight away.
