What's included in your Sports Travel Insurance policy?
If you’re heading away on a football tour, here are some of the benefits you can enjoy:
Cancellation Cover
If you have to cancel or curtail your trip abroad because of an injury or illness, or that of a close relative, you could be eligible to claim a lump sum of up to £5,000 to recoup the irretrievable costs of your trip.
Sports Equipment Cover
It’s likely that you will be taking certain items of football-specific equipment away with you. Our policy can cover you against loss, damage and theft of those items up to £5,600.
Emergency Medical Expenses
If you’re injured whilst taking part in a match overseas, you may require medical treatment abroad. With £10 million worth of cover on all travel policies, you’re covered for these often costly treatments.
Activity and Race Entry Fees
If you suffer an injury before a match or tournament are unable to recoup any entry costs you may have paid, your policy could help you recover up £500, depending the level of cover you have chosen.
Travel Delay Cover
Flight delays can take a big chunk out of your time on the pitch abroad. Our policy covers you for the time you are left on the ground due to industrial action, mechanical failure or adverse weather.
Scheduled Airline Failure
