Travel Insurance?

I know it's a while off yet but we've booked a trip to Morzine next June and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a travel insurance provider that offers cover for 'dangerous sports', or whatever MTBing in the Alps is classed as, please.

We're hiring bikes over there so just need personal cover.

Cheers.

Thanks for that, I'll have a look.

These appear very reasonable

I've just took out the superior "level 2" sports policy for a 9 day trip to Cyprus it cost £18.24

Importantly, if your taking your bike, they cover personal possessions for up to £1000.00 ( the best I could find).

However you only ever find out how good they are if you need to make a claim.


Edit: Just seen your not taking bikes however it might be useful for someone else.

Check what they say about mountain biking. Some just say mountain biking but some will exclude any downhill MTB unless you pay up more. Depends what you'll be doing. Competition stuff is usually a lot extra too.

http://www.snowcard.co.uk/ have lots of configurable options to pick and choose what you want and will be doing.

i am still waiting for my insurance to pay out for my accident from the beginging of september....

like deadken said downhill will cost extra and if you race you will need a specialist cover....

I've just done a quick quote for "MTB Down Hiller", with a decent amount of cover for each option, and it's coming out at just under £28 per person with a £50 excess. Not bad at all.
