Travel for "Harzadous Activities"

whist

Hi all,

I'm travelling to Aus and NZ and just found out my travel insuracne whihc I have with LLoyds account will not cover what is termed harzadous activities e.g bungee jumpin gor ski diving.

I've tried money supermarket but it does not specify harzardous activities seperately just winter sports so I can't do a comparison for premiums whihc cover these activities.

Any recommendations for insurance that covers activities like that or sites I can do comparison on please?

THis would mean I'll have 2 insurance covers for things like cancellations and other standard covers, would this be an issue normally?

The supplier of the activity might cover you.

I went to Turkey with standard travel insurance and then decided to paraglide off a 7000ft mountain, as you do! I shopped around and went with a company who covered me on their insurance. I had to fill in some forms before the jump, but I was covered from the minute I stepped into their vehicle to go up the mountain, until I was safely back on the ground.

Have you tried calling Lloyds to upgrade?

Make sure you check the specifics of the coverage too. A lot of insurers will only cover you do extreme sports a certain number of times (and some of them even need you to tell them the precise date you're doing it too)

There are a couple that cover unlimited extreme sports, though of course they're not the cheapest ones! We found American Express to be the best, unlimited extreme sports & winter sports, and it wasn't as pricey as a lot of the others.

British Mountaineering Council offer various levels of cover at a good price.

Thanks for responses.

LLoyds will only insure for each activity individually which is a rip off if I want to do several. I'm not sure of which activity nor the day. I just want to be insured in case I decide to do something not covered by standard insurance.

I'll look into the companies mentioned.
