Travel insurance
filipaame:
Hey, I've been trawlling the internet for travel insurance without much luck.
My boyfriend and I are off to Squamish in August for 3 weeks of bouldering, sport and trad. We need travel insurance that covers all of these, and our first port of call would've been BMC, however we now live in the Netherlands and their policy clearly states only UK residents can apply.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
The only one I've seen so far are these guys: http://www.hccmis.com/travel/adventure-travel/rock-climbing/
but I'm not really sold...
Any help greatly appreciated!

Dogtag have recently extended their cover to non-UK residents.

Travelex will also insure you for climbing etc.

Just sorting insurance for a trip to Font in a week or so and have previously always used the BMC but just had a quote for £30 which feels well pricy!!
Do I;
* Tweet Bear Grylls and call him a twat and play the £30?
* Go with a quote from a random not climbing specific insurer via the Meerkats at about £6
* Who gets insurance these days? Stop being a pussy...

I was considering option 3 for the first time and sticking to good landings! :-\

You're more likely to have an accident in Font than anywhere I reckon.
You'll get a bill for an ambulance, and potentially any surgery you need if you break an ankle/wrist. Plus repatriation. The EHIC only covers you for initial patching up.
Obvs you want cover for bouldering, so a cheapo basic travel policy on-line is not much use.
TGIC and Dogtag are likely to be cheaper than BMC.
