Looking for Ski or Snowboarding Travel Insurance?
What’s included in our Winter Sports cover
How it works: Travel insurance for your snow trip using PassportCard
If you’re heading to the slopes domestically or going overseas for winter sports activities and want those activities to be covered by PassportCard, you’ll also need to add on our optional Winter Sports cover in our Comprehensive Domestic or International Comprehensive and Basic policies.
When taking out PassportCard travel insurance, we also give you the option to be sent a PassportCard. If you get sick or injured in a skiing or snowboarding accident, we can load money onto your PassportCard instantly for approved claims to help cover your expenses – so you can get back to enjoying your snow sports.
Our instant claims:
- If your cash is stolen, we can put up to $500 on the PassportCard that you can withdraw instantly
- Your medical expenses so you’re not out of pocket
- $250 for essentials if your bags are delayed
It’s how travel insurance should be – quick, simple and hassle-free.
