The Latest
2009 Insurance

For 2009 my insurance is being provided by Travel Insurance Specialists P J Hayman & Company. Their ADVENTURES INSURANCE policy has been specially designed to cover high risk activities. Full details available via their website www.adventuresinsurance.co.uk.

I need a policy that will not only offer me cover for my downhill racing across the globe, but also for the demonstrations and shows I am planning to do with my Jet Powered Streetluge. AdventuresInsurance.co.uk is soon launching their new, interactive website and their products will be available not only to UK residents, but to all EU Nationals.
