Hodders Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I'm planning a visit to see my brother in Spain later this spring. Whilst a valid EH1C card is useful, it seems to make sense to have accident insurance to cover extras like repatriation etc. I've found a company SportsCoverDirect that will cover but it costs £120 for a 10 day trip. For previous PMC holidays are there any other companies that people can suggest ? Cheers all...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin (Simon W) Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Sports Cover Direct are the place that most seem to go... they do seem to have massively increased the prices over the last few years though SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Jackson Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Hello Hodders, Last year I used JS Insurance for the Spain PMC trip. I made sure that there was an endorsement for paramotoring. I think 8 days cover was something like £40 (off the top of my head). The guy I spoke to was Chris Hollingsworth (01273 773 017). He was very helpful. Thankfully I never needed to use the insurance so I've no idea whether this would have cut the mustard in the event of something unfortunate. FYI I am also in no way connected to them... its just the company I found last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodders Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 JS look like they are about half the price. I'll give Chris a call. Thanks Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodders Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Very wary of dogtag - reading their Extreme Sports policy I noticed that whilst engaging in Paramotoring there is No personal accident or liability cover. So I pay the extra for an extreme sports policy and then am explicitly NOT covered for accident/liability when engaging in that sport. Whilst medical cover is included it still takes away significant policy benefits. See Page 6 of https://www.dogtag.co.uk/media/1683/covered-hazardous-sports-181217-v1.pdf for the relevant section. Calling JS now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paraboost Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Hi Hodders, How did you get on with JS? It looks on their website that they don't provide personal liability cover either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
