Yes, recreational zorbing during an organised individual or group session can be covered when the activity appears on your policy documents.
Can medical expenses be covered if I am injured?
Emergency medical expenses can be covered if zorbing appears on your policy documents and the claim meets the policy’s terms and conditions.
Can I get cover if I have a medical condition?
Pre-existing medical conditions are considered separately from activity cover. Declare them when getting your quote, as cover is subject to medical screening and acceptance.
Cover is subject to the terms, conditions, limits and exclusions of your policy. Check the applicable Policy Wording and your policy documents before taking part.
