What is karting?
Karting involves driving a small motorised racing vehicle around an indoor or outdoor circuit. It can range from a recreational track session to organised amateur racing, with drivers navigating corners and competing for the fastest time.

What can travel insurance help with?
Emergency medical expenses can be covered if you’re injured while taking part in insured karting. Repatriation can also be covered when medically necessary, subject to the policy’s terms and limits.
Depending on the policy selected, cover may also be available for cancellation, curtailment, personal belongings and other travel related problems. Personal Liability is not covered while driving, riding in or otherwise using a motorised vehicle. Travel insurance does not cover damage to the kart, mechanical faults or repairs.
