Cycle touring, mountain biking, racing and trail riding insurance

You don’t have to be a skier or climber to enjoy the benefits of Snowcard insurance– we also specialise in other mountain sports like mountain biking and kayaking. We offer options to cover all styles of bike riding including – downhill – tracks - road. Specialist activity cover is essential for bike riders. Beware general travel policies which may only cover the lowest level of road riding.
A Snowcard policy can be tailored to include your bike as well, this is a truly unique policy that is not available from general travel insurers. If you take part in multiple activities mixing your mountain biking with kayaking or climbing, use our special Multi-Sport option.
