Will Standard Travel Insurance Provide Cycle Holiday Insurance Cover?
If you already have travel insurance be sure to always check your policy wording and documentation to ensure you have adequate cover for cycling holidays that includes emergency rescue, repatriation and personal liability insurance.
Standard cover, like that provided free with bank accounts, will not necessarily always provide cycle trip insurance, and almost certainly not cover for your bike. Should you have an accident whilst on a cycling holiday you will need cycle trip insurance and remember the GHIC only provides basic state services and without insurance, you will have to pay for some or all of your treatment.
With a Snowcard policy, you can enjoy your cycling holiday safe in the knowledge that you have specialist cycling holiday insurance which is tailored and personalised to you.
