Fit to travel. Your Sports travel insurance from World First

Whatever sports you do on your holiday, whether it's a round of golf, water sports, bungee jumping or even scuba diving, a World First Sports travel insurance policy should be able to cover you. We offer low cost insurance premiums with a choice of the levels of cover for single and multi trips. All our policies include cover for over 75 sports and activities as standard – including scuba diving, sailing and jet skiing - with hundreds more covered by our activity packs. You can check if we cover your sport by looking at our list of over 75 insured sporting activities.

What this means is that you can go for it knowing that you've got the very best travel insurance behind you. We might not be able to talk you into taking your first ever bungee jump or scuba diving, but we can cover you for up to £10 million in emergency medical expenses, cancellation and curtailment, luggage and money with our Water Sports travel insurance, our Winter Sports travel insurance, our Mountaineering and Trekking insurance and our Adventure travel insurance.

It's easy to get a quote too, even if you have a medical condition. You can do it all online and get covered instantly or, if you prefer, you can talk to our UK based customer service staff. They can take you through everything in a matter of minutes and can even do medical screening right there and then.

Just call us on 0345 90 80 161 for an instant quote and cover in minutes.
