Summer is over and the clocks are turning back soon; but don’t plunge into dark despair. Plan a hot rock escape to see you through the autumn half-term break. This October, BMC Travel Insurance is offering its European Rock policy for just £29.99 for a week.

Sport climbing in Siurana? Bouldering in Bulgaria? Trad climbing in Turkey?  Kalymnos. Costa Blanca, Sicily. Croatia. Mallorca or Ariege…wherever you’re planning to get pumped this autumn, don’t forget to pack BMC Travel Insurance so you can relax and concentrate on the climbing.

At the BMC, we’ve been insuring climbers like you for over 30 years. Now you can take advantage of our new series of seasonal offers on popular travel policies.

All European Rock policies have an additional 12.5% off online this October. Take out any single trip BMC European Rock policy and get 12.5% off, OR buy any annual European Rock policy within October for the same great deal.

This means, we’re delighted to be able to offer 7 days European Rock cover at just £29.99. This covers all types of rock climbing in Europe within the month of October 2015. Single trip cover can be bought within October for trips that end on or before 8 November.

Access to BMC Travel Insurance is a membership benefit available only to BMC members.  But fear not, you can join us by Direct Debit for just £15.72 for a whole year.  It’s simple to join up at the same time as taking out your travel insurance policy, just tick the box.

Do you get trip reimbursement if you don't tick your project?

[andy_e]

Ah what, you have to be a member of the BMC to get insurance? Seems a bit strange...

[a dense loner]

They've always done that, but used to be £30 to become a member. That's why I started to use other comps

[andy_e]

Yeah, not paying £31 to save £5...

[lagerstarfish]

you can join us by Direct Debit for just £15.72

odd price - there's clearly a hidden message in those numbers

[dave]

Does it cover against accidental self-immolation?

[a dense loner]

How do you save £5 Andy if you take 15.72 from 30? I wouldn't let you work out oxygen intake with that maths even if you do have a gcse at grade c or above

[andy_e]

Let's work it out.

Insurance costs ~£43.
Discount ~£5.
To get discount I need to pay £31.44 to join the BMC (or £15.72 if I pay by direct debit, which I didn't notice before).

Therefore, to save £5 off my insurance, I need to pay £31.44 (or £15.72 if I pay by direct debit).

[lagerstarfish]

so it's like getting BMC membership for £10.72 instead of £31.44

I'll forward the link to Martin Lewis

Of course since we're all in the BMC anyway in order to support their sterling local access work and national level advocacy work this discussion is moot isn't it?

[Will Hunt]

Regardless of having BMC membership or not, it is worth checking other providers such as Snowcard as they often beat the BMC on price (not had to make a claim so can't comment on quality of service).

[lagerstarfish]

everybody should join the BMC, especially if they regularly go climbing in Britain

with the amount of hours that people put in, paid and unpaid, the BMC is probably the best value you will ever get anywhere ever

better than a Lidl sale in India

Sorry to be a naysayer.

I don't have a lot of accidents but I do like scones and Earl Grey.

So for me National Trust is best value.
