Sports Travel Insurance YJ Monogram

What's Covered by Our Sports Travel Insurance?

Whether you’re travelling to compete, train or simply enjoy your favourite sport, our specialist sports travel insurance protects more than just your flights and accommodation. From the moment you book your trip until you return home, you’ll be covered for the travel risks you’d expect, along with protection specifically designed for people taking part in sport.

Competitive Sports & Training

Cover for organised competitions, tournaments, training camps, coaching trips and sporting events across more than 500 sports worldwide.

Emergency Medical Expenses

Emergency medical treatment, hospital costs and repatriation if you become ill or are injured while travelling, including while taking part in your insured sport.

Cancellation & Travel Disruption

Protection if you need to cancel before you travel or your trip is disrupted because of unforeseen circumstances covered by your policy.

Sports Equipment

Cover for sports equipment and personal belongings, helping protect the gear you rely on while travelling.

Whether you’re heading to a football tournament in Spain, a marathon overseas, a ski holiday in the Alps or a scuba diving trip in Egypt, our specialist sports travel insurance is designed to keep you protected throughout your journey.

Ask yourself two questions about your travel insurance – 

Have I checked if it covers me if I’m taking part in a competitive event?

e.g. Hyrox or a marathon?

Have I checked if it covers me if the primary purpose of travel is my sport?

e.g. football training camp?

Choosing Yellow Jersey isn’t just about insurance. It’s about backing your trip with people who genuinely understand sports and adventure travel.

Straight-talking expertise: Real humans, plain English, and advice from people who know what adventure sports travel actually looks like in the real world.

Claims without the grind: When things don’t go to plan, we focus on getting you back to your adventure, not burying you in forms and fine print.

Built for adventure: From weekend escapes to month-long expeditions, our adventure sports travel insurance is designed for travellers who build their trips around doing, not just going.

Support that shows up: UK-based customer service, highly trained staff, fast answers, and no nonsense. When you need help, you get it.

Simple insurance cover, built around how sports trips actually work.

FLEXIBLE COVER OPTIONS

Sports trips rarely fit neatly into standard travel insurance. That’s why our policies include flexible options for couples, families and young athletes.

Spectator-only cover
Family members travelling to support an athlete don’t need to pay for sports participation cover they won’t use.

Accompanied minors
Parents can arrange cover for accompanied minors without needing to insure themselves on the same policy, provided the child is travelling with a responsible adult.

Couples & families
Reduced pricing for additional travellers because more people on one policy doesn’t automatically mean double the risk.

Annual or Short Term

A Travel lots, pay less

Committing to an annual policy can often work out better value than buying cover for each trip, while still keeping you protected for every weekend adventure or week-long holiday abroad.

Plus, our policies can cover multiple sports, so you could be set for your summer adventures and still have cover ready for your winter holiday; no last-minute insurance scramble required.

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. We offer adventure sports travel insurance and extreme sports travel insurance.

Sports Travel Insurance pack selector

Our sports are split into activity packs, from “nice and easy” to “are you sure?” Sports Travel covers loads: running, football, rugby,  cricket, hockey, hyrox, rock climbing, surfing, winter sports and plenty more.

Know us for Cycle Travel? If you’re buying annual multi-trip insurance, here’s the deal. Sports Travel includes a bit of low-risk cycling for people who just want a gentle holiday spin.

But if your whole year is built around the bike, you need to head over to our dedicated Cycle Travel Insurance. That’s where the serious cycling cover lives.

Use the search box or scroll the table below to find your pack. And if you think you fall between two stools, contact us and we’ll point you in the right direction.
