Our White Water Rafting Insurance policy options

Put simply, we offer three different policy options…

1. Travel Insurance

Our Sports Travel Insurance will cover you whilst white water rafting abroad for leisure or competition, and includes cover for medical and repatriation costs, trip cancellation and curtailment, plus more.

2. Travel Insurance Bolt-On

If you have an existing travel insurance policy in place with another provider such as your bank but it does not include cover for white water rafting, we can provide a bolt-on style of protection for your trip.

3. Sports Accident Insurance

Our Sports Accident Insurance is designed to protect you whilst rafting in the UK, whether that be for leisure or competition. The policy provides a range of benefits including personal liability and income protection.

What makes our policy different?

Not all travel insurance providers will cover white water rafting as standard, but we do. We specialise in sports insurance and have done so for over 30 years.  Whether you are rafting in the UK or abroad we can protect you and your equipment.

If you are travelling overseas, our Sports Travel Insurance not only includes protection against the usual travel mishaps such as delayed flights and lost baggage, but also includes cover if you were to be injured whilst you were rafting, need search and rescue or repatriation.

When rafting in the UK, our Sports Accident Insurance could be a better policy option for you, with its personal accident and liability cover options.
