Call Our UK Contact Centre 01223 446 914 Monday - Friday 9am - 2pm Closed Weekends & Bank Holidays SPORTS AND ACTIVITIES Sports and other activities covered by Freedom Travel Insurance GET AN ONLINE QUOTE NOW Home » Help Centre » Sports and Activities Cover We cover many sports and activities as standard - no additional premium is required for activities listed in Activity Pack 1. We have categorised the activities that are not covered as standard into seven further bands. If you need to add activity cover beyond Activity Pack 1, you can do so by phoning us on 01223 446 914 and speaking to one of our Travel Insurance Agents. All activities are covered on a non-professional and non-competitive basis, unless otherwise stated. Any claims which arise whilst undertaking any of these activities for any purpose other than leisure will not be covered under this policy, unless otherwise stated. Safety guidelines from a professional event company or organiser must be followed and failure to do so will invalidate a claim. If you purchase an additional activity pack (2-8), you will also be covered for any activities in the lower tier activity packs. For example: if you purchase activity pack 6, you will also be covered for any activities in activity packs 1-5. If you are unsure do not hesitate to contact us on 01223 446 914 and we can discuss your individual requirements.
