 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
We normally use the ski club annual insurance policy... but heard something about the underwriters Fortis being in difficulty. Has anyone got any info on this?
Are others still using ski club? Are there other options that give off piste cover etc?
We are out there for the season so need good medical cover in particular.
Thanks

Discussed in this thread from the second post. I think the consensus was that it looked OK.

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

i highly reccomend the vieux camper insurance. I have been repatriated to the uk twice with it and had all my rescue, hospital and transport costs covered. And it is cheap compared to UK insurance. If you add in the 'vie privee' option you also get all your medical costs for non accidents covered as well. bargain

I'm sure the Ski Clubs forums have an thread about this very topic. Cannot check just now as I am on the wrong computer. As far as I remember the essence of the thread is that there is no problem. And I hope that that is the case as I renewed my policy with them recently.

philingle, my French is not fantastique, but it looks as though the medical expenses limits are very low - or am I reading that wrong? Are there any residency requirements (as there always are for UK based travel insurance)?

adrian - I went on the Ski club forum and did a search - but all I found was reference to the problems - not that it was sorted.
So thanks to those in the know..
But they still seem to be using Fortis who were the ones who seemed to have financial difficulties...
I will look at the thread suggested by Achilles - thanks very much to all

Apologies jayne durham, perhaps I remembered the thread that achilles referenced but wrongly thought it was in the other place.

Fortis received an 11 billion Euro bailout in September. That should see them throguh the winter.
Even if the parent were to go under, it would likely not affect their local subsidiary.
