FAQs About Ski And Snowboarding Travel Insurance

  •  Am I Covered For Heliskiing?
  • The Winter Sports Pack covers claims that may arise from amateur heliskiing activities that do not involve any form of racing, acrobatics, jumping, aerial, stunting or freestyle. Terms and conditions, limits and exclusions apply. Please refer to the PDS for further information.

  • Am I Covered For Off-Piste Skiing & Snowboarding?
  • Yes, we provide cover for off-piste skiing and snowboarding as long as it is within a short distance from designated areas of ski resort boundaries on groomed terrain that are open and patrolled by the ski resort.​

    You must select the Winter Sports Pack add-on when booking your policy to be covered for any winter sports activities. 

  • Do Your Policies Provide Cover For Backcountry?

  • Am I Covered For Rental Ski Equipment Hire Excess?
  • Yes! When you are booking your policy simply select the Winter Sports Pack add-on and you will enjoy cover for Rental Ski Equipment Hire Excess. Terms and conditions, limits and exclusions apply. Please refer to the PDS for further information.

  • The Winter Sports Pack does not provide cover for claims under Permanent Disability or Personal Liability that arise from you participating in winter sports activities.

  • "Do not travel without 1Cover"

    We have used 1Cover for many years now and do not leave home without it. Great service, exceptional if you make a claim. Only insurer I would recommend. 

    By Ian, Nov 2022

  • Helpful, caring & supportive

    My husband required emergency surgery in the USA. There was no expense spared with either the medical costs (considerable) or our accommodation. We cannot speak highly enough of 1Cover and have recommended them to all our friends.

  • "great company"

    Found this company the best for insurance prior to Covid and especially now that travel has restarted. We had multiple credit vouchers that they have honoured with not problems. Thank you 1Cover for your great service. 

    By Bernadette, Dec 2022 

  • Easiest company

    You never know how good insurance is until you have to make a claim! 1Cover responded to us in their prescribed timeframe and our payout was made within 15 days. I would recommend them 100%. This is the seventh time we have used them and first time we had to claim. Well done!
