Haven't been abroad for a few years - who's good for insurance these days?

Will be mainly XC in big hills rather than alpine. Hiring a bike when I get there, so don't need all that much possessions cover.

Unfortunately the free insurance I get with my building society excludes MTBing, and I'm not a homeowner so no home policy.

Dogtag are very fussy if you end up in a private hospital. A mate of my broke his shoulder last year, went to the nearest hospital to get put back together (out-patient) and DogTag have refused to pay up as there was a public hospital somewhere in the town.

On the other hand, Snowcard seem bloomin' expensive.... £325 for a couple to cover Downhill for the year.

Does anyone have any claims experience with Snowcard?

Annual policies are often much better value than single trip, so that sort of thing can happen (used to do travel insurance for Direct Line many moons ago)
