FAQs

Q. How long can I go away for in any one trip with the annual multi-trip policy?
A. The maximum trip length is 31days. You can travel as many times as you like during the year so long as any individual trip does not exceed this limit.

A. The policy specifies the sports which are covered. They are:

Archery, badminton, banana boating, baseball, basket-ball, bowls, cricket, curling, cycling, deep-sea fishing, fell walking, fishing, glacier walking, golf, gymnastics, heptathlon, hiking, kite surfing, marathon running, netball, orienteering, pony trekking, racket ball, rambling, ringos, rounders, running, scuba diving to a depth of 30 metres (if you hold a certificate for this or you are diving with a qualified instructor), snorkelling, softball, squash, surfing, swimming, table tennis, tennis, ten pin bowling, trekking, tug of war, volley ball, wakeboarding, walking, water polo, water skiing, windsurfing and zorbing.

Q. I am already travelling; can I buy a policy from you?
A. No, we're afraid that currently we are unable to offer policies to people who are already abroad.

A. Yes, you certainly can. Our policy can cover anyone who is a British resident; this is described as a person who has their main home in the United Kingdom and has not spent more than six months outside the United Kingdom during the year before your policy was issued.
