Sports cover from Allianz

This add-on to any of their travel insurance South Africa packages will cover you for sports and leisure activities such as cross-country skiing, sledding, hockey, lacrosse, mountain biking, parachuting, water polo, and kite surfing.

This does not however cover individuals who are undertaking any sports activities on a professional level or any kind of non-foot racing, and manual work. You can easily view their table of covered sports and leisure activities via their website or email them for more information.

If you’re injured, disabled, or incur any loss or damage as a result of an act of terrorism your policy will pay out up to R1 million. Need emergency assistance

Schengen Travel visa insurance
