“When it comes to adventure travel insurance, don’t base your decision purely on price as it could limit the level of cover you receive, and it might have higher excess - it’s best to find the policy that best suits your needs.”

The cost of your adventure travel insurance depends on:
Where you're travelling. If you’re travelling just in Europe, the chances are your policy will be cheaper than if you’re travelling worldwide.
Your age. The older you are, the more expensive your adventure travel insurance policy usually is.
What activities you plan on doing. If you have plans to bungee jump or go cage diving on your trip, the cost of your policy could go up as you may need to pay extra for adventure travel cover. This is because these are usually seen as higher-risk activities by insurers.
If you’ve got any medical conditions the cost of travel insurance will usually increase if you need to be guaranteed the treatment for a specific condition or illness. It’s important to remember that you may not be allowed to take part in certain activities if you’ve got a pre-existing medical condition.
What type of cover you need will depend on how many times you plan on travelling in a year. If the holiday is a one-off, single-trip travel insurance is usually the cheaper option. If you’re going away several times in a year, then an annual travel insurance policy with adventure activity cover should work out cheaper than if you buy a separate policy for each trip.
The activities that are covered will vary depending on the policy you buy. Each insurer will have their own list of exclusions, there’s no one size fits all approach. If in doubt, contact the insurer directly.
The short answer is no. If you decide that you want to do an extra activity that isn’t covered by your policy while you’re away, then you won’t be covered. It’s best that you stick to the activities that are covered in your policy, rather than risk having to foot the bill.
You should buy your policy as soon as you know where you’re travelling to and what activities you’ll be doing. We recommend including all planned activities when getting a quote, to make sure that your insurer will cover all of them in your policy.
