Im looking for recommendations for a good travel ins company for a 10 day trip to Morzine, Ive been quoted by Dogtag Snowcard Bikmo and Yellow jacket, and they all come out around the same for the two weeks.
But the reason for the post is simply reviews from riders on here who have had to use the services when the worst happens, god forbid everything will be ok but you never know.

We are with Yellow Jersey, European cover for us and World Wide for our daughter. Have the annual one for the amount of time we spend abroad on the bikes.
I know someone who had a crash in South America and they were first class in sorting it out.
We were with Snowcard and then Dogtag but they have a age loading which made it very expensive

We are with Dogtag. They have been great. My wife had a ghastly accident in Linderets, close to Les Gets last summer. A broken pelvis meant that she needed evacuation off the mountain to the road by Pompiers Landrover to medical centre in Morzine. X rays here and then ambulance to Annemasse.

We kept all the receipts because we had to pay for the service. Once back in the UK all receipts were copied and sent to Dogtag who paid up very quickly. Great phone service too.

You pay upfront in cash as opposed to passing on your insurance details? How much did that all cost? 50k?

If you're near to Yorkshire you could have a quick spin on mine I guess, but it may be a few weeks before I'm unless my old man is free for a ride.

I used dogtag before but no need to claim thankfully.

I have just returned from a 2 week trip attempting to cycle to the top of Kilimanjaro which took some specialist insurance - I used Darren at Pedalcover (they also do my home insurance). They put together a super reasonable and comprehensive cover too. Worth giving them a shout for a quote.
