The James Brownhill Memorial Fund (JBMF)
Mountaineering / Extreme Sports / Gap Year Travel Insurance
The-Insurance-Surgery.co.uk is pleased to support The James Brownhill Memorial Fund.
The Fund aims to raise money to provide volunteers with bursaries to attend courses to improve climbing safety. Full details of the fund and of James can be found at www.jbmf.co.uk.
Any commission received from the links to travel insurance on this page will be donated to the Fund.
Please note that the travel insurance policies detailed below are suitable for all types of extreme sports not just mountaineering. So if you enjoy active holidays or are planning a gap year you can compare each contract and see which is most suitable to your needs.
You can also purchase other products (eg life insurance, Private Medical Insurance, etc) through the site that will also generate a donation click here.
We have tried to bring the best Mountaineering Travel Insurances together on one page ranging from specialist providers such as The BMC and Dogtag through to Columbus who offer exceptional value for money for all types of activity (& non activity) holidays but will probably not be the most suitable for very serious climbing!
IMPORTANT : Please ensure that you carefully check the policy wording of any mountaineering travel insurance contract to ensure that it is suitable to your needs.

***Many sports policies do not cover for Search and Rescue. We recommend that you check the current policy wording carefully to ensure the cover meets your requirements. For the purpose of this comparison we class Search & Rescue as being required for medical reasons only. The information above is correct as at 1/1/12. Please carefully check the up to date policy documents of each individual insurer to ensure that the mountaineering travel insurance meets your exact needs. Neither the-insurance-surgery.co.uk or The James Brownhill Memorial Fund can accept any liability for the accuracy of information or the suitability of any of the above contracts.
