 Poster: A snowHead
|
Can anyone reccomend a provider who doesn't have 45 day limits on travel abroad - needs to cover snowsports? I thought there was a thread on this but I can't find it.
Thanks

P J Hayman Adventure Plus has a 60 day limit. Unlimited snowsports. Very good coverage, including pre-existing medical diabetes and coronorary heart disease, but pricey. It's basically the same as the SCGB one (Hayman do that) but was much better on pre-existing medical conditions. I don't think there's any policy that allows unlimited stays - the season ones work differently, and you can't come home in the middle. We looked extensively for one that had even a 60 day limit. If you wanted unlimited stay in France, I imagine you'd need a French policy.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Agenterre, IIRC, the consensus advice was to go native.

Agenterre, most insurers can do a single trip policy with up to 12 or 18 months duration.

Bode Swiller, we looked at those, but those sort of policies don't allow you to come back into the UK during the time. They're not good for people who make multiple trips, and few of the multiple trip ones allow longer trips, or unlimited snowsports. It's similar with car insurance - I had quite a battle finding an insurer who allowed 60 day trips in conjunction with no overall limit on the number of days you can spend abroad. And some of the information I got over the phone from call centres was plain wrong. On one occasion I bought a policy, on the strength of verbal assurances that it covered any number of days in France, as long as no individual trip was more than 60 days. I remained suspicious, as the documentation was opaque. When a request for written confirmation of what I had been told went unanswered I had to start over again - discovered the information was wrong, and had to cancel. It was a mission. My current policy is OK as long as I don't spent the majority of the year in france - if I did, I'd obviously switch to French insurance.

Thanks All. Brilliant.
Ive decided on Ski Insurance ( ex-Natives) , I couldnt get the ski club site to work for me .... it matches my needs best as I already have UK Health and annual travel insurance ( with 45 day limits, max 17 day skiing) and French health insurance. This really just fills a gap which I would have been exposed to if I had been seriously looked at in the event of a major claim.

Agenterre, Your season insurance with Ski-insurance will invalidate itself the first time you return to the UK. pam w is right, they don't allow you to break the trip.

The BMC has a 90 day trip limit which can be waived for an extra fee

Bode Swiller, pam w, Thanks for the 'Heads-Up' and you are absolutely right ... however given that I move about and have a 'seasonal-rent' ... they'll be lucky to sort it out even if I went back to the UK... plan is to stay in Saanen and do Zermatt. blah ..blah from there ...
