Extreme sports insurance: how do I find out more about insurance cover?
As an extreme sport specialist, we have developed knowledge and experience in providing financial protection for participants in a wide range of hazardous sports.
Broadly, we specialise in three types of cover:
- Life Insurance – typically a lump sum to pay off a mortgage, debts or provide for a family in the event of death.
- Critical Illness Cover – financial peace of mind in the event that you are diagnosed with a specific condition detailed in the policy.
- Income Protection – if you are concerned that an accident or illness may prevent you from working for a period of time then an Income Protection policy may be something to discuss with us.
Depending on the specifics of your occupation or recreation there may be loadings, restrictions or exclusions applied to certain types of cover. We work with the whole of market rather than being restricted to a captive or select number of financial products or services. In addition, if you keep up a health regime and participate in a regular fitness plan, you may also want to speak to us about policies that monitor your fitness and reward you for keeping fit and healthy.

If you enquire about cover with us, we will discuss a number of details in relation to you, your sport and your lifestyle. In general, the availability of cover and premiums for cover are dependent on a range of factors such as personal health, family history, lifestyle, occupation and type of sporting activities pursued. Deciding on the amount of cover that is right for you can involve many factors such as the need to cover bills, mortgage payments or a lump sum for a partner or family should the worst happen. In choosing the duration over which you would like cover you may want to consider your life stage and the need to meet obligations such as providing for a family, meeting bill obligations or paying off a mortgage.
