The Tour de France Is Here. Is Your Next Cycling Holiday Already Planned?
For cycling fans, July means one thing. The Tour de France.
Whether you’re following every stage from home, debating who’s wearing the yellow jersey next or dreaming about riding some of cycling’s most famous roads yourself, the Tour has a way of inspiring us to get out and explore.
If you’re already thinking about your next trip, don’t forget one essential that deserves a place on your checklist: Travel Insurance.
The Tour that inspires adventure
From the climbs of the Alps and Pyrenees to the picturesque villages and dramatic finishes, the Tour de France showcases some of Europe’s most spectacular scenery.
It’s no surprise that every year thousands of cycling enthusiasts book holidays to experience these destinations for themselves. Some hire a bike for a day, others tackle legendary climbs, while many simply enjoy exploring by bike at their own pace.
Planning a cycling inspired getaway?
Whether you’re heading to France this summer or adding a cycling stop to your next European holiday, it’s worth thinking about what your Travel Insurance covers.
Depending on the policy you choose, it may include cover for:
- Emergency medical expenses.
- Cancellation for insured reasons.
- Lost or delayed luggage.
- Personal belongings.
- Recreational cycling activities.
If cycling is a key part of your holiday, you may also want to explore our Cycling Travel Insurance options.
Small adventures still deserve protection
You don’t need to be riding Alpe d’Huez to enjoy cycling abroad.
Many travellers choose to:
- Hire a bike while on holiday.
- Explore coastal cycle routes.
- Visit vineyards or national parks by bike.
- Join guided cycling tours.
- Ride traffic free greenways and family routes.
Whatever your plans, having the right Travel Insurance means you can focus on enjoying the journey.
Inspired by the Tour?
The Tour de France reminds us why cycling is one of the best ways to experience a destination. Whether you’re planning a weekend escape, a summer holiday or your next cycling adventure, make sure Travel Insurance is on your packing list.
