Hi all,
Me and my OH are going on our first ski trip at the end of Jan. Ive been saying we need to sort our insurance out but because my OH works for the halifax we get free travel insurance which includes WINTER SPORTS cover. I know insurance has been done to death on this site but i wanted to know do any other J2skiers have the above account and have you used this insurance?
Id like to know if we take out Carte neige insurance with our passes will this along with our WINTER SPORTS cover be sufficent?
Im currently looking for the small print soi can post as i know you will ask to see this to decipher whats what - Bandit.... :lol:
Thanks

Crispyapplepie, the Carre Neige will get you off the hill without fuss (France) if you need medical evac without quibbling. However, if your new Insurance won't cover you for the skiing small print, it's likely you'll get a very British "non" when you call the Halifax, to take over. Make sure you have your EHIC's with you. Avoid alcohol, exclusions are peppered across most policies these days.

After looking online and also in the small print i cant say it fills me with much confidence... I think i will buy a seperate policy. Who would you recommend?

Oh dear, that does not sound too promising :shock: I insure with Direct-Travel so does Dave Mac. I've had an injury claim with them, and so has a pal, both went through without too much fussing. Been a customer for several years.

I'm incredibly careful, incredibly lucky, and I've/we've paid billions of pounds into the EU, so I expect the EHIC to cover any medical expenses while in Europe. If it doesn't and I have to stump up the bill, I can ASSURE you I will get the money back off Heir Cameron and Frau Osborne.
Granted you can get decent cover for about £25, but it's also a matter of principle for me.
