Looking for Ski or Snowboarding Travel Insurance?

Whether you are enjoying snow sports close to home in Australia and New Zealand or further afield in Japan, Europe, Canada or the USA, we bet you’re looking forward to blue skies, fresh powder and clean mountain air. Whether you’re a skier or a snowboarder, it’s hard to beat a day on the slopes. But winter sports holidays can be expensive, and even more so if things go wrong. With PassportCard, you can make the claims listed below immediately, anywhere, anytime and once approved we can instantly load money onto the card to help cover your expenses.

How it works: travel insurance for your snow trip using PassportCard

If you’re heading to the slopes domestically or going overseas for winter sports activities and want those activities to be covered by PassportCard, you’ll also need to add on our optional Winter Sports cover in our Comprehensive Domestic or International Comprehensive or Basic policies.

When taking out PassportCard travel insurance, we also give you the option to be sent a PassportCard. If you get sick or injured in a skiing or snowboarding accident, we can load money for approved claims on the card in Real-Time to help cover your expenses – so you can get back to enjoying your snow sports. If your cash is stolen, we can put up to $500 on the PassportCard to help you until you work out details with your bank. With our Comprehensive cover we can also settle approved claims for delayed luggage and can add up to $150 to buy emergency essentials. It’s how travel insurance should be – quick, simple and hassle-free.

All benefits and covers are subject to the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions listed in the Combined Financial Services Guide and Product Disclosure Statement, and the schedule.

While travelling domestically you can still experience cancelled flights, delayed luggage or have your wallet/purse stolen – making travel insurance just as important if you’re holidaying here in Australia as when you are travelling overseas.
