Annual v Single Trip

If you are going on one ski holiday and not again in the next year you will probably find a single trip is best for you. However, if you are also going away for a summer holiday, second ski break or a weekend away, a multi trip annual policy will probably work out best. Run two comparisons as they only take seconds, and you will quickly be able to see what is right for you.

Number of Days Ski Cover

If taking an annual policy, you will be covered for a maximum trip length and possibly also a maximum total days you can be abroad during the year. Most annual policies cover a minimum of 17 days skiing during the year, and trip durations of 31 days for non ski breaks. MPI Brokers do offer the option to extend the wintersports trip length cover under their annual cover for an additional premium.

Some policies offer cover for a longer period so, if you need more days, we shortlist the companies that would meet your needs from the table below. If you are planning a lengthy trip away at another time of the year check the policy covers you for that as well. For longer trips, a single trip policy (as opposed to an annual policy) may work better.

Other Winter Sport activities

We tell you which insurers will cover you for other winter sports activities such as sledging, heli-skiing, luging, snowmobiling and more.

Specialist cover

If you are seriously into skiing or boarding, you may find that you need specific insurance if you own some expensive gear that is not going to be covered by your possessions limit. Or you may want cover for your skis outside the restaurant at lunch, or if you want search and rescue cover you will probably need to look for specialist cover. We cover the main players in our Specialist Ski Insurance Directory.
