Sports and Medical Cover

Essential Travel covers over 100 sports for free with every travel insurance policy, but if you are an extreme-sports enthusiast, they also offer top-up cover for Grade 2, Grade 3 and Grade 4 sports. Sports are graded according to the level of risk attached to participating in them. For example, Grade 4 sports include activities like Hang Gliding, while low risk activities like Hiking or Rambling would be rated as Grade 1 sports. All Grade 1 sports are covered for free.

Essential Travel also covers a range of minor medical conditions as standard with all policies. If you suffer from a more serious condition, you simply need to complete the online medical screening questionnaire to see if you qualify for cover.

Whether you are looking for single trip insurance for a business trip or 2-years backpacker's insurance for your gap year, we can offer you some of the most comprehensive cover available, through Essential Travel.
