Horse riding travel insurance vs standard travel insurance
Many standard travel insurance policies only include horse riding as a low-risk incidental activity, if it is covered at all.
This means horse riding may only be covered when it is a casual holiday activity and not the main purpose of your trip.
If you are travelling abroad for a riding holiday, equestrian training camp or competition, standard travel insurance may exclude the activity entirely or only provide limited protection.
Our horse riding travel insurance is designed specifically for riders travelling abroad, providing cover that reflects the realities of equestrian travel.
With specialist equestrian travel insurance, cover applies when horse riding is the main purpose of your trip rather than an incidental activity.
What’s included in your rugby travel insurance:
Depending on the level of cover you choose, benefits may include:
- Medical and emergency treatment abroad
- Emergency evacuation and repatriation
- Cover for essential riding equipment
- Trip cancellation or curtailment
- Personal liability cover
- 24/7 emergency assistance
All cover is subject to policy terms, conditions and limits.
Annual or Short Term
A Travel lots, pay less
If you take several riding trips throughout the year, an annual travel insurance policy may offer better value than insuring each trip separately.
Many riders travel more than once each year for horse riding holidays, equestrian training camps or competitions abroad.
B No commitment
Not travelling all the time, or not ready to sign up for a full year? No worries. Our short-term, single-trip policies might cost a little more per trip, but they give you all the flexibility you need and the same handy suite of covers as our annual travellers.
Discounts
Heading off with your other half or the whole gang? We think that should be fun, not a headache for your wallet. That’s why couples get a break on the second traveller. One policy covers you both, and let’s be honest, one set of claims is usually enough drama for anyone.
Families get an even sweeter deal. Extra kids are added at a lower rate, so a family of four ends up paying just a little more than two adults. Single parents, don’t worry, the same clever scaling applies. Basically, we won’t charge you double just because there are more of you.
It all makes sense: more people on one policy doesn’t mean double the risk, and it certainly doesn’t mean double the paperwork. So grab your crew, pack your bags, and enjoy the trip. We’ve got the cover sorted at a fair price, no fuss, no nonsense.
