Planning to partake

If you are planning to partake in dangerous or more high-risk activities – this would be activities your insurer deems as dangerous like motorbike racing you might need to take out extra cover at a higher premium. This will depend on your policy so always read the terms and conditions and exclusions so you are aware of the fact that you might need to buy extra cover.

Depending on your policy, you could also have cover for your gear so you have protection against the loss, theft or damage of your equipment like skis or bicycle. We recommend carrying the 24hour emergency number in your phone so you can call your insurer for pre-authorisation for any treatment you might need in an emergency.
