Written by the company

We’re Rise & Shield, the adventure-obsessed travel-insurance specialists who believe incredible journeys should never be cut short by unexpected mishaps. After all, memories should never be medical bills, ever. From alpine switchbacks to equatorial surf breaks, our flexible policies cover more than 150 adrenaline-charged activities, like trekking to 6,500 m, off-piste skiing, scuba diving, mountain biking and plenty in between. No matter where you set off from, or where your compass lands next, our “anywhere-to-anywhere” cover keeps you protected across the globe, even if you’re already on the road when inspiration strikes. Choose a single-trip plan for a once-in-a-lifetime expedition or lock in an annual multi-trip policy to roam freely all year; every option comes with 24/7 medical-emergency assistance, swift helicopter evacuation, and a claims process designed for travellers, not paperwork.

Would use Rise & Shield again

While I didn't have to make a claim, I found it really easy to purchase my policy. I like that they covered adventure activities as other insurers I looked at didn't. Would use Rise & Shield again.

Fast customer service and good product

Straightforward and easy to understand insurance product, with lots of adventure activities covered. Their customer service was fast and the answers to my questions were detailed and clear. I've not made a claim so can't comment on that.
