Hunting Insurance FAQ
Whilst it is not illegal to hunt without insurance, it is extremely prudent to ensure that you have hunting liability insurance in place. For more information about the hunting and Country Sports Insurances offered by C³, please visit the Country Sports Insurance page.
Although accidents are rare, hunting is still a dangerous activity with the potential to cause property damage, serious harm or death. No matter how much experience you have or how skilled a hunter you are, accidents can still happen due to unforeseen circumstances and factors beyond your control. Public Liability cover (also sometimes known as 3rd Party insurance) is therefore essential to protect both you and others in the event of any accident.
Country Cover Club Membership not only gives you financial peace of mind; it also means that the legalities involved in resolving any claim become the responsibility of the underwriters, giving you less to worry about.
It is likely that you will be asked to show proof of Public Liability Insurance by the landowner when you are hunting. The level of cover required varies from place to place but, on average, is £10 million.
Country Cover Club Master Policies provide Members with £12 million (£12,000,000) Public Liability hunting insurance. We pride ourselves on the fact that our Public Liability cover is above many of the basic insurance policies available, covering you for every situation.
The cost of hunting insurance varies depending on a number of factors including the level of Public Liability cover provided and the length of time the cover is required. When comparing hunting insurance, make sure you take into account what is included in each of the packages you look at. Many of the cheaper options available will have an excess and lower levels of cover. C³ Membership provides you with a more comprehensive insurance package, with the ability to include optional insurances such as enhanced Personal Accident and Loss of Income. We also offer additional Membership Benefits such as discounted rates on gundog insurance and special offers from country sports suppliers and shooting grounds.
Our goal at Country Cover Club is to provide great hunting cover at a reasonable price. Annual membership costs £32.95 and every Member is covered for:
- £12 million Public Liability Insurance
- £12 million Products Liability Insurance
- £10,000 Personal Accident Insurance
Premium Members are also covered for £250,000 Legal Expenses Insurance. In addition, we offer short term cover from £19.95 and optional extras such as Travel Extensions, Enhanced Personal Accident cover and Loss of Income cover so that you only pay for what you need. To become a C³ Member, please complete the application form on the Buy Now page.
Cover can be obtained for most recreational forms of hunting.
C³ Membership provides insurance for Hunting Game, Deer, Vermin and any other legal quarry and activities connected therewith; Stalking, Rough Shooting / Walked Up Game, Driven Game, Beating, Loading and Picking Up, Wild Fowling, Water Fowling, Vermin/Pest Control, Trapping and Humane Dispatch. All equestrian related activities are excluded.
We also cover Sporting and Target Shooting and a wide range of other Country Sports. For a full list of all Insured Activities please visit the Country Sports Insurance page.
Whether it's hunting big game in the African Savannah, boar hunting in the deep forests of Germany there's so many places to explore around the world. Some organisations offer cover for hunting abroad but not all so you will need to check which territories are included in your cover.
Country Cover Club insurances are valid throughout the UK and Republic of Ireland. European and Worldwide Travel Extensions can be added to most Memberships for +£7.95 and +£12.95 respectively. This provides the full £12million Public Liability and £10,000 Personal Accident cover for participation in all Insured Activities within the selected territory, subject to all local law being complied with. All cover is subject to UK law and jurisdiction.
The C³ Master Policies include cover for recreational bow hunting where this is legal. Please note that, as bow hunting is currently not legal in the UK or Republic of Ireland, cover for hunting with a bow and arrow can only be provided if the Member has a European or Worldwide Travel Extension and bow hunting is legal in the respective territory.
