Direct Line travel insurance was first founded in 1993 and since then has insured 7 million people successfully and the Direct Line ski travel insurance has provided insurance for over 1.4 million skiers.
The Direct Line ski travel insurance policies are secured and underwritten by AIG Ltd and include access to a 24 hour telephone service for emergency assistance and for nursing assistance if you have medical questions.
Benefits of choosing Direct Line :
Most travel policies including the Direct Line ski travel insurance offer medical coverage up to £10 million with a variety of standard options that you can choose and tailor to your individual policy as you feel the need.
One advantage of using Direct Line Insurance is that all annual policies include 17 days of winter sports coverage each year instead of requiring a separate purchase. If you believe that you will be on ski holidays for longer than this period of time you can add on additional days as needed as a separate discounted policy.
For those who simply need ski travel insurance for a one time ski holiday the coverage extends to cover both skiers and snowboarders on and off pistes without a guide. However, if your ski holiday will be in the USA or in Canada you will require a guide in order to receive coverage for any incidents that may occur outside of the resort boundaries.
Standard policies extend free coverage for dependent children of those that purchase a family policy making the service cost efficient for families as well. The standard price to add ski travel insurance onto an existing policy begins at as low as £10 per person.
All travel packages include 24 hour emergency coverage, mountain rescue services including air ambulatory services, and up to £1000 for any equipment that is damaged, lost, or stolen during your ski holiday. This compensation can be used also towards hired equipment that is damaged while it is in your possession and/or can be used towards hiring equipment at the ski resort if yours is damaged during travel.
In the past, Direct Line Insurance has received awards from Defaqto for excellent customer support and quality of coverage.
