Hi,

I'm not sure if I've put this in the right section so please feel free to move it accordingly.

My son is going to Canada for 6 months, skiing and is keen to find a decent insurance that doesn't cost the earth. He has tried the usual student , STA, Endsleigh but they are still pretty extortionate.

I'd be grateful for any assistance you may give.

Many thanks

    Sounds risky and some sort of claim likely, would be surprised if you found 'cheap' for this trip.

    Consider shortening the trip and a higher excess to reduce the premium cost.

    Thanks for tip but he s unable to reduce trip as already booked and going out as Ski Instructor for the season. I wasn't necessarily after cheap , more like less than £500 ! Thanks again

    So he won't be on holiday, so would 'travel' insurance provide the cover he needs?

    Surely his employer will provide insurance for a job of this sort? As richardw says, travel insurance is highly unlikely to cover it.

    It will include skiing, as long as it is recreational and he is not taking part in any professional activity.

    So a total and utter waste of time for someone whos going out as a ski instructor.

    Try BASI or Snowsport Scotland for insurance.
