MOUNTAIN SPECIFIC TRAVEL or GENERIC?
We collaborated with mountain bikers and our cuctomers in order to create a travel insurance policy that meets the needs of mountain bikers without sacrificing any aspects of standard travel insurance.
We discovered that most people didn’t know about the limitations on insurance policies offered by standard holiday insurance providers. Many policies did not cover claims if a person fell off their bike while on a specific cycling holiday.
Before you climb the mountain, make sure to review what is covered.
