Specialist Caving Insurance

Caving is the exploration of underground caverns and cave systems created over thousands of years by the passage of water and is enjoyed by thousands around the UK.

Unfortunately though, accidents can happen whilst caving. But with our Sports Accident Insurance in place, you can protect yourself with cover for serious injury, including incidents that would mean taking time off work.

Our caving insurance policy also protects enthusiasts with cover against injuries or damage caused to third parties and their property. If that person chose to sue you, you’d be covered.

For caving in the UK, just start your quote below. However, if you’re heading overseas for your caving, our Sports Travel Insurance is the perfect companion to any trip out of the country for your extreme sports needs.
