Why Do I Need Travel Insurance That Covers Roller Derby?

Roller Derby is a full contact sport, so there is a risk that team members could get injured. Most standard travel insurance policies do not provide cover for taking part in a contact sport.

For this reason, it is important to have specific Roller Derby travel insurance, as accidents do happen and if anyone sustains an injury while taking part, they’ll be covered.

What Am I Covered for Under Roller Derby Travel Insurance?

Roller Derby offers the standard cover you would expect from a travel insurance policy. For example, cover for cancellation, trip disruption, lost baggage and emergency medical expenses.
