What is go karting?

What can travel insurance help with?
If you’re injured while taking part in insured go karting, emergency medical expenses and repatriation can be covered, subject to the terms and limits of your policy.

Personal Liability is not covered while taking part in a motorised activity. Travel insurance also does not cover loss of, damage to or recovery of the kart. Check the applicable Policy Wording.
