Best winter seasonaire Insurance

Insurance is a must when travelling, especially going Skiing or Snowboarding where the chance of injury is higher. And with the cost of being airlifted and rescue services in the mountains, it will cost you tens of thousands if you need assistance.

I have been on countless seasons and have tried all the best companies I have found. For the past few years, I have tended to go for one company and that company is ERV.

10% off with the code ‘BONDRINGO10’

ERV have been pretty much always the cheapest Insurence I could find. But it is not all about price with health insurance as you need to be fully covered. Thankfully ERV covers everything I need including park riding and Off piste without a guide.

The reason I am recommending ERV is that I had to claim for medical expenses from them a couple of years ago and it went without a hitch. Unlike other companies I have tried to claim from there was no fuss, no prolonging and pointless forms and phone calls. ERV straight up paid

ERV straight up paid for the helicopter, surgery and all other expenses including a private ambulance back home after getting released from hospital!

The best thing about ERV is that they actually cover you for a whole season, unlike Other companies that have maximum 30 or 60-day cover. You can find the Seasonaire cover page here

And because I thanked them for their service they have given me and all you guys 10% off with the code BONDRINGO10

So check them out next time you go away for a reliable Winter sports Insurance.

Had any good or bad experiences with Insurance companies? Let us know in the comments.
