Cover for 500+ adventure sports worldwide

Sports Travel Insurance YJ Monogram

Do I need specific sports travel insurance?

Our sports travel insurance includes cover for a wide range of adventure sports travel insurance needs — from hiking and surfing to competitive training camps and extreme sports.

Most travel insurance policies only cover incidental participation in sports. If your trip is specifically for a training camp—such as a football camp in Barcelona—standard travel insurance, e.g. free cover from your bank or cheap online products,  won’t be sufficient.

Many standard travel policies also exclude higher-risk activities, especially competitive events. Our sports travel insurance covers hundreds of activities that are typically excluded.

Don’t let an accident or unexpected event ruin your trip. Let Yellow Jersey Free your mind, get an instant quote online and travel with confidence, knowing you’re fully protected.

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.

If you take several trips throughout the year, an annual policy may be better value.

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 skiing trip; 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.

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.

Welcome to our Sports Travel Insurance FAQs

We can answer all your questions related to our adventure sports travel insurance. If you can’t find the answer you are looking for after looking through the FAQs, you can call us Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We typically answer the phone in under 30 seconds

Adventure sports travel insurance is designed for trips where taking part in sports or adventurous activities is a key part of your travel. Unlike standard travel insurance, it is built to cover activities such as trekking, scuba diving, rock climbing, surfing, cycling, and other adventure or extreme sports, provided you meet the activity conditions in the policy.
Our sports travel insurance covers a wide range of sports and adventure activities, from popular pursuits like hiking, marathon running, and swimming to higher-risk activities such as scuba diving, climbing, and competitive sports. Cover depends on the activity category and any specific conditions, so it’s important to check that your planned activities are included before you travel.
Yes. If your trip is built around sport or adventure, standard travel insurance may not be suitable. Many generic policies only cover activities on an incidental basis. Our adventure sports travel insurance is designed for travellers who plan to take part in sports regularly, train, compete, or structure their trip around being active.
If the activity is covered and all policy conditions are met, you’re covered for medical treatment, emergency assistance, and related costs if you’re injured while taking part in an adventure sport abroad. This can include things like hospital treatment, emergency transport, or repatriation if needed.
Yes. Whether you’re heading away for a long weekend or a multi-week adventure, we offer flexible sports travel insurance options to match your plans. You can choose cover that fits the length of your trip and the type of adventure sports you’ll be taking part in.
