Winter sport insurance from high street brokers is over priced, according to a leading independent provider.

Given the expense of possible medical bills, winter sport travel insurance is as essential as packing ski goggles.

As a result many holidaymakers choose the easy option of obtaining cover from the travel agent.

Independent provider Insure & Go's director Perry Wilson said: "Paying more for your policy does not guarantee a more comprehensive cover. New UK legislation forbids travel agents linking holiday discounts with free travel insurance."

One in ten skiers require treatment following an injury, and many tourists are leaving themselves under-insured, they said.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
