TJM consider it essential to be well insured before embarking on a Winter Sports holiday. Therefore our comprehensive winter sports insurance has been specially arranged with Fogg Travel Insurance Services Ltd - experts in winter sports insurance for over 25 years, together with members of Association of British Insurers.
Details of our Insurance Policy (PDF)| Key Facts (PDF)
Our insurance includes the Fogg Travel MEDI-CARD enabling you to ski with the knowledge that all your rescue, transportation and medical bills will be automatically taken care of (all you need to pay is the policy excess).
For Party Leader peace of mind, our insurance includes Organiser's Liability cover.
As with most insurances, you are only insured for an event which occurs after you have purchased the cover. It is essential that you read the insurance certificate. Please therefore carefully read the paragraph headed Health below. If for any reason it is not suitable for you, you may return it for a full refund, provided you return it within 14 days of receipt and you have not travelled or have made a claim. A full copy of the insurance certificate will be sent with your confirmation of booking but a brief summary of the cover, and Association of British Insurers Code of Practice is provided below.

Property Claims

If you do not tell Insurers about something that may be relevant your cover may be refused and Insurers may not cover any related claims.
Complaints
