Holiday insurance.

I am about to renew my annual holiday insurance this includes winter sports holidayâ€™s, not that it has bothered me before but I asked about taking part on track days. Reply â€œwe do not cover motor sportâ€

Ask them to define "motot sport".

What we do is not timed and we are unlicensed so does it technically count as motor sport?

Out of curiosity who are you getting your insurance from as I need to get some soon ? I am probably going to get an annual policy with snowcard who appear very competitive for what i am going to be doing .

I got the annual one for the family (me/wife, 2 kids). Was £70 or so from Direct Line... cheapest I could find at the time but did not include any skiing/snowboarding etc as far as I'm aware. Apart from that, the cover/terms seemed good.

i have always went on the basis that trackdays are not motorsport. like mac says, just argue your case, albeit its a bit hard if your dead

I don't understand why you'd need trackdays specifically covered . . . you're on holiday abroad, so your travel insurance covers you while abroad. You just happen to be taking part in an activity while on holiday, so therefore should be covered.

Are they saying they wouldn't cover you if you went on a package holiday and the holiday rep in your resort arranged something like karting?
