Embrace the chill in Japan

Time to replace the flip flops with uggs, dust off your skis and get out the thermals because your Japanese winter wonderland is just about ready.


Cover for your snow trip

From seasoned skiers to beginners strapping on a snowboard for the very first time, our optional Snow sports cover is designed for snow adventures. From broken bones and lost equipment to ski field closures, Travel Insurance Direct can help get your trip back on track if things don’t go as planned.



If you plan to doing any snow sports activities make sure you select the 'Snow sports cover' option when purchasing your policy, otherwise you won't have cover for any event that arises out of participating in these activities. 

This is a brief summary of cover only and does not include the full terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions. Consider the 
PDS, TMD and if the product is right for you.
