Walking Insurance
Specialist protection for walking holidays Worldwide Walking Insurance
Walking is a fantastic way of getting out into the fresh air and exploring our beautiful countryside. Hill, fell and mountain walking offer a more relaxed activity than technical ascents and are perfect for families and groups looking to spend time together outdoors.
Protectivity Walking Insurance covers UK residents taking part in the activity in their home country or abroad. If you are looking for cover while you are in the UK, our Sports Accident Insurance is for you.
We also offer cover to walking event organisers via our one-off event insurance policy. Otherwise, our Sports Travel Insurance policy protects those heading overseas for a ramble.
Cover is available on an annual basis, or for a set period of time. Just scroll down, tell us where you are going and for how long and we’ll be able to give you an instant price for your cover.
