Spend a little… Save a lot!

Friday, December 15th, 2006

Companies describe baggage as your stuff that you will take on holiday, ie pants, camera, books, glasses. And kit is obviously stuff like your board and kites.

It seems best that if you can to get your kit put on your household insurance. if that is not possible then a couple of the companies can do it for a premium: such as columbusdirect.

Below is a list of companies and what they offer regarding baggage and kit.

All are for quotes covering the usual medical bits and pieces and Kitesurfing is included in the premium, all are for a single trip of up to aproximately 17 days in length.

Dont take them as gospel, best to call to find out for deffinate.

My personal fave is columbusdirect
