You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I'm off to Canada for 3 weeks of riding in July (can't wait) and am starting to look at insurance? What are the current best options that don't cost a fortune? I'm aware that you get what you pay for in many cases, but some of the quotes seem a lot. I climb a lot and considered the BMC, but they seem to rate bikes as high risk (and prices have gone up a lot over recent years). Dogtag/Snowcard may be an option but who else is recommended?
Last year I used some standard travel insurance that didn't specifically exclude bikepark/DH riding in its terms, but feel that I might not want to test claiming on it... I'll probably ride a week in Whistler then 2 weeks of singletrack elsewhere with a few uplift days thrown in I expect.
Thanks,
Oli
Have a look at Yellow Jersey. Found them good last year for our daughter when she went to Aspen and then Whistler. Will be renewing with them when it's due in June
Thanks, i'll have a look.
Any others worth looking into?
I’ve always used dogtag, never had to put them to the test though, touch wood
Yellow jersey were great for me last year when I wrapped myself around a tree in whistler and ended up in the hospital. Claim settled very quickly. Annual policy includes winter sports as well
you can usually find discount codes for them with a quick google search
Snowcard.
Having seen them deliver a fantastic service a few years back when my friend broke himself rather badly
What do you need insurance for? It's Canada. Nothing bad ever happens in Canada.
Dogtag paid out quickly with no quibbles when I broke my collarbone in the bike park. Even covered wife's travel and overnight hotel bill in Manchester as I couldn't drive back to Scotland when I got home. Make sure you get cover level that specifically covers downhill mountain biking or you will not be covered in the bike park. Downhill biking has a higher risk level than I needed for heli-skiing.
Don't skimp or you could end up with a big bill.
