Snow Sports Travel Insurance
Planning a ski trip, snowboarding holiday or overseas snow adventure? Go Insurance lets you add Snow Sports Cover to your policy for eligible snow activities, helping you travel with more confidence on and off the mountain.
Before you hit the slopes
Cover built for snow holidays
Snow travel can be incredible, but it also comes with risks that standard travel insurance may not automatically include.
Whether you are skiing in Japan, snowboarding in Canada, joining friends in New Zealand or planning a European snow holiday, Snow Sports Cover can help protect you against certain unexpected events while travelling.
Snow Sports Cover is an optional upgrade. It must be selected when you buy your policy and shown on your Certificate of Insurance for cover to apply.
Why snow cover matters
What Snow Sports Cover can include
When Snow Sports Cover is selected and shown on your Certificate of Insurance, cover may be available for a range of snow-related events.
Important things to know
Cover is subject to the terms, conditions, limits and exclusions of the policy. You should read the relevant Product Disclosure Statement before you buy.
Snow Sports Cover does not mean every snow activity is automatically covered. Higher-risk activities, racing, professional competition, off-piste activity and other exclusions may apply.
You should also follow local laws, resort rules, safety directions and any advice from piste authorities or qualified instructors.
Activities and cover
Some lower-risk snow activities may be automatically included, while skiing, snowboarding and other outdoor snow sports generally require Snow Sports Cover.
Activities such as ice skating, curling or tobogganing may be treated differently from skiing and snowboarding. The key point is to check the PDS and make sure the cover you need is selected before you travel.
If your trip involves skiing, snowboarding or outdoor snow sports, do not assume standard cover is enough. Add Snow Sports Cover during the quote process and check that it appears on your Certificate of Insurance.
Before you travel
Travelling with your own snow gear?
If you are taking skis, a snowboard, boots, outerwear or other snow equipment, check the policy limits that apply to luggage and snow sports equipment.
You should also keep proof of ownership, receipts where available and written reports from airlines, transport providers, police or resort operators if something is lost, stolen or damaged.
Snow trips are not all the same
A weekend in Queenstown, a family ski holiday in Japan and a multi-country European snow trip can all involve different risks, costs and cover needs.
That is why it is important to choose your destination, dates, cancellation amount, excess and optional cover carefully when getting a quote.
