Annual multi-trip insurance

Cancellation cover (if selected) starts when you book each trip or on the start date entered here and shown on your Insurance Schedule, if this is later. Cover under all other sections of the policy begins when you leave home to go on a trip and ends when you return home from that trip.  The start and finish dates of the trip must fall within the 12 month period of insurance. For trips booked during the 12 month period and that start after the end of the 12 month period, we will provide cancellation cover until the policy ends. Please note that annual multi-trip policies can not be purchased more than 2 months in advance of the policy start date and must be purchased in the UK before departure of your first trip. Cancellation cover commences from the policy start date you specify here.

Single trip limits

Winter sports limits on annual multi-trip policies

Single trip policies

You must insure the full duration of your trip and purchase your insurance before departing from the UK. If you have an annual policy with another insurer and you require higher risk cover with Snowcard for a short duration only, we CANNOT help topping up another insurers policy. You must insure your full trip duration with Snowcard for your policy to be valid.

If you select cancellation cover, it takes effect from the date of policy purchase until your departure date. The insurance for personal belongings, equipment and techno pack (if shown on your Insurance Schedule) is only valid if you have insured the whole duration of each individual trip and starts when you depart from the UK. If you have a Snowcard annual multi trip policy at a lower level of cover, you can purchase single trip top up cover (medical and emergency expenses only) at a higher level for short durations.

Important information about your age
How many people to be insured?

The age band selected must be that of the person who is the lead insured name or the oldest person in the family or group. If a group member is older than 56+, it will be cheaper for the group if the older traveller is insured separately. For persons aged over 75 contact https://www.biba.org.uk for advice.

Please note a family is 2 adults and upto 4 children up to the age of 18 – a couple is 2 persons married or living together as married – a group is 2 or more persons travelling together on the same holiday. For single parent families, use either the couple or group options.

To insure a minor <18 travelling alone, the parent must register their details but insert the name and age of the child when prompted to enter the name of the person to be insured.

Will Standard Travel Insurance with Sports Cover Be Enough?

Before purchasing standard insurance, we strongly recommend that you understand the cover levels on offer. If the price is the only criteria then as is often the case in life, you get what you pay for. Standard sports holiday insurance which is often added as an optional extra will likely include low cover levels and restrictions, which could leave you underinsured in the event of an accident. Most standard travel polciies do not cover search and rescue. All Snowcard policies include search and rescue as standard.

Specialist travel insurance sports cover from Snowcard is designed for travellers who take part in adventurous or extreme sports.
