Why do I need a specific Cycle Travel Insurance?
In much the same way as you buy travel insurance for winter sports, Yellow Jersey provides travel insurance specific to cycle events / trips.

If you already have cycle insurance, ask yourself two simple questions:

“Have I checked it covers holidays where the primary purpose is cycling? e.g. a training camp or cycle tour.”

“Have I checked it covers me if I’m taking part in an event?  e.g. a long distance sportive, a charity ride, a triathlon race.”

A lot of people are unaware travel insurance provided by their work or banks excluded claims if they came off their bike whilst on a cycling specific holiday. Some travel insurers will cover cycling if it’s an incidental part of your holiday, e.g. you hired a bike for a day with your family but not if the primary purpose of the trip is cycling. So if you were racing an Ironman in Austria, taking part in the Mallorca 312 or simply training with a group in the Pyrenees your normal travel insurance is likely inadequate.Further, the EHIC card protection is only valid if you get taken to a state hospital in Europe.

A lot of popular cycling routes and destinations in Europe have only private hospitals nearby whilst state hospitals are few and far between. No matter where you are or what type of cycling you will be enjoying, if you have cycle travel insurance with Yellow Jersey, you can relax and ride with complete confidence that you’re covered.Since active people rarely confine themselves to a single discipline, Yellow Jersey annual policies also include a FREE Winter Sports Package worth up to £80.
