Big Blue Cover travel insurance optional extras

Big Blue Cover offers optional extras that you can add to your main policy for an extra cost. These include:

Ski travel insurance protects you and your family as well as your belongings. Optional add-ons include cover for hired ski equipment, piste closure and loss or damage caused by avalanche or landslide.

Cruise insurance covers up to £1,000 for missed port departure and £500 if you’re unable to use a paid-for excursion. Additionally, it can also provide cover for sickness or injury. If you need to be confined to your cabin, you can claim £100 per 24-hour stint, up to a maximum of £1,000.

Car hire excess insurance covers the excess charge when hiring a car on holiday. These excess costs can be quite expensive and a standard insurance policy may not cover certain parts of the car. If you're involved in an accident, you'll normally have to pay this excess. Car hire excess insurance covers up to £7,500 on a single accident, or the same amount over a series of events.
