Just so you know we are not affiliated to any of the insurance provider and we don’t get any commission from any insurance providers. So please feel free to use your own prefered insurance provider, but make sure you understand their terms & conditions in details.

We believe that enjoyment and safety are equally important when travelling with the AB Sports Tours, it is, therefore, one of our terms and conditions of booking that you have adequate travel insurance in place before you travel with us.

The AB Sports Sports Tours strongly recommends all our clients and customers use insurance policy that can entail purchasing specialist sports travel insurance since many standard travel insurance policies do not protect travellers taking part in competitive sport, or for certain activities altogether. Pls make sure you have adequate insurance for your tour and to provide complete peace of mind.

If you are in the process of booking The AB Sports tour or have already booked you may want to consider what level of insurance protection you have in place in case the worst were to happen. As a customer of The AB Sports we would always recommend you purchase adequate and fit for purpose travel insurance. Please ensure that your policy provides full cover for your sports activities.

Taking out your travel insurance at the time of booking your trip is a really good idea as cover for pre-departure cancellation starts from the policy issue date. This means you’ll have cover to recoup your costs if you have to cancel your trip for an insured reason such as illness or serious accident preventing you from travelling.

What should the insurance policy cover?

The insurance policy should covers at least the following:

Medical Expenses:

  • your policy should pay your emergency medical bills and hospital costs if you are taken ill or have an accident.
  • Your policy should cover the cost of bringing a close relative to visit you following a medical emergency.
  • Your policy should include emergency dental treatment for the immediate relief of pain

Cancellation

If you cancel the tour prior to arrival due to an accident, illness or sickness you should be able to claim back the costs of pre-paid travel and accommodation

Equipment Cover:

Cover for your own or hired equipment in the event of loss theft or damage

Baggage Cover:

You should be reimbursed if your luggage is lost, stolen or accidentally damaged

You can purchase insurance at any point up until your departure date, however we strongly recommend that you book it when you book your tour, so that it will cover you in the event of insured reasons for cancellation such as illness or an accident preventing you from travelling.

You will be given the opportunity to add insurance to your package with us at the point of booking your tour, if however you wish to add the insurance at a later date please complete the below application form and email it to [email protected]

Policy Documents:

We strongly recommend that you read all the insurance policy documents so you understand the full details of the benefits and exclusions that apply to the policy.

Generally speaking, most of the insurance policy should include:

  • £1m emergency medical expenses and repatriation cover – including injuries occurring whilst participating in sport
  • £1000 baggage and personal effects cover – this can be increased to £2,500
  • Specialist sporting equipment cover – £200 worth of cover included as standard which can be increased up to £5,600
  • Cancellation and curtailment cover – should you no longer be able to travel or need to cut a trip short due to injury or illness
  • Personal liability – should you injure a third party or damage their property and they opt to sue you
  • To find out more and obtain a quote, talk to different insurance providers. We recommend arranging insurance as soon as you book so that cover is in place for any unforeseen events immediately.

If you already have general travel insurance in place, but it does not include cover for your specific sport(s) / activity(s), there are specialist insurance providers who can also offer Activity TopUp that can provide that cover. You can take this out to cover for the day(s) you will be doing the activity and in few cases it can be arranged even after you have left your country of origin.
