Adventure sports upgrade

If you’re a born thrill seeker, you can upgrade your travel cover to include cover for adventure sports.

As well as giving you the chance to take some sports even further, this option also adds cover for activities such as bungee jumping and paragliding.

There are three main ways to lower your policy's premium. Our policies are flexible enough so you can keep the costs down without cutting the cover you receive too much.

Select Six Week Safety Net

This is a great way to save on the premium yet still avoid long NHS waiting times.

The Six Week Safety Net means if treatment – any inpatient, day-patient, surgical procedure and outpatient radiotherapy and chemotherapy – is available on the NHS within six weeks from the date it should take place, then your employees will use the NHS.

However, if the wait for treatment is longer than six weeks, then they can contact us to arrange for private treatment.

and

Change your Excess levels

You have the option of including an excess to reduce your premium. The excess options are: No excess, £100, £250, £500, £1,000, £2,500, and £5,000.

As an example, if you choose to add an excess of £100, you will pay the first £100 of eligible claims – but only once per plan year – for each person covered.

and

Pay annually

You will receive a 5% discount if opt to pay for your cover annually, as opposed to monthly.
