Insurance.

Travel Insurance is compulsory on all Dragoman trips as it is a condition of booking with Dragoman. When selecting your policy, you must ensure that it is specifically designed for adventure/overland travel. It must cover you for all adventure activities you may plan to do, such as white water rafting, trekking and horse riding etc.
If you already have an annual travel or credit card policy, please check carefully with your insurers to ensure they provide the cover you require, as many limit cover for trekking above certain altitude, riding without a hard hat, rafting above grade 3 etc.
We recommend that any policy has the following minimum levels of cover:

  • Medical Expenses (including repatriation) £5,000,000
  • Personal Liability £2,000,000
  • Cancellation and Curtailment £3,000
  • Cover for loss of baggage, personal effects, money and other items is down to personal choice.

It is extremely important that you check the full extent of your cover related to 24 hour Medical Emergency Assistance. In the event of you needing medical treatment you want to know that you have the best cover available to you.

On the first day of your trip your leader will ask to see your insurance policy, to check its validity and emergency telephone numbers. Failure to do show a valid insurance policy will mean exclusion from the trip. Please ensure you have your policy number and emergency telephone number for your insurance company. We recommend you carry your insurance policy document with you on your trip. If this is unavailable please ensure you have the necessary information required by your Insurance company in case of an emergency.
Family policies can also be arranged and our insurance partners have special premiums where children travel at substantially reduced rates.
