I have ski cover on my policy at the moment but the single item cover is terrible- well its £250 and my new skis cost £600! Anyone got any insurance cover they can recommend?
Please can we avoid posts that say something along the lines of "hire them in resort you idiot!"

Boredsurfing, agreed - I used them for a few years - but there is some doubt about their back-country and touring cover.
tbanting, How did you manage to spend £600?! Thats 2 pairs for me, and about 5 for some snowHeads. What have you got?

We've got direct travel too - very reasonable (and recommended in the Torygraph!?!) though have not yet had to claim so don't know how good when it hits the fan!

Am also with Direct Travel - great coverage for minimal price!

£600 sounds like high end skis from S&R / EB etc!!!

I went mad and got a pair of K2 eXplorers- all the gear- no idea!

tbanting, I nearly bought the coombas - but that was going to be for about 400 with bindings.
Respect.

I have claimed from Direct Travel - I broke a pair of glasses - they paid out with no fuss.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I'm currently with Direct Travel but won't be when renewal comes up shortly. Claimed for OH's ruptured ACL at the last EOSB - pain in the ar$e getting money out of them, pointless delays involved (several requests for doctor's reports that had already been sent multiple times), tried to deduct an excess when I'd paid an excess waiver, tried to say that taxi back from medical centre in Meribel to Val T wasn't covered etc etc.
However, we disputed all of these things and got the money back in full eventually.
I'm considering going back to Dogtag this season, although someone has also recommended Foggs to me, having had to claim with them with no problems at all.

You know it makes sense.

SamM, Ironically I have gone from Fogg to Dogtag ( www.dogtag.co.uk ) this year as having clarified their off piste cover I felt Dogtag offer a wider cover and more personal service plus in my case a better price for annual familty cover
