 This is how it works....

  • Simply complete and submit the online climbing application form (click here) at least 3 business days before you leave Australia. Please note we require a separate application for each climber. Once we have this information we will email you confirming:
    • Whether we can insure you and if so,
    • The price for adding cover to your policy. 

    If you wish to proceed on this basis, we will ask you to email us back when you have bought your normal insure4less travel insurance, advising us

    • Of your certificate number
    • We will then advise how to pay your additional premium.

Once payment is received, insure4less will issue you with an endorsement to extend cover to include your planned climbing.
