UK Paragliding Insurance?

Hi,

Does anyone know of any companies hwo provide Insurance in the UK for Paragliders?

Thanks,

What sort of insurance?

Third party liability?

Accident rebuild insurance?

Personal accident cover?

Third party liability is covered automatically when you join the BHPA

(British Hang and Paragliding Assn 0116-261-1322) for £62 a year, which is damn fine value, as you get 12 months Skywings mag as well. The 3rd party cover is 2 million, I think.

Look at http://www.bhpa.co.uk

All other insurance (loss, theft, fire?? personal accident etc) can be got from Yvonne Jukes, at Airsports Insurance:

01983-298480 tel or fax on this number.

Thanks Rod,

I had heard of Airsports but, being a 'tight git', I thought that I would shop around a bit.

Actually, I have only found one other company that does it and, to be frank, I don't think these insurance companies fancy our chances!

Well, Yvonne told me that the theft etc cover on Paragliders is expensive because an extraordinarily high number of them (around 5-10%) are reported stolen to the insurers at around the time they are old enough that the owner would be wanting to buy a new one.....

My my, such cynicism!

It's still not clear to me which insurance you're looking for - personal life cover perhaps, to include PG risk?

Good point.

I think I will go with Airsports.
