What is ice go karting?
Ice go karting involves driving a go kart around a frozen or specially prepared ice track. The slippery surface makes controlling, steering and braking the kart more challenging than on an ordinary track.

Yes, cover for amateur ice go karting can be available through the policies offered by Direct Travel.

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