High-risk sport (motorcycle, diving, mountaineering)
Regular practitioners of extreme sports (motorcycle, diving, mountaineering, parachuting) — Surcharge: +15% à +70%
Regular practice of high-risk sport (motorcycle >125cc, diving >30m, high mountain climbing, parachuting) incurs 15-70% surcharge. 'Regular practice' defined by frequency (monthly+). Leisure sports (occasional surf, skiing) generally not penalized.
Specific risks
Risks: road accident (motorcycle), decompression accident (diving), mountain fall, parachute accident. Some sports (base jump, wingsuit) systematically excluded. Paragliding and hang-gliding accepted with heavy surcharge.
Bank approach
Detailed leisure questionnaire. False declaration = nullity. Some insurers offer 'sport' amendment as option (paid) to specifically cover activity. Competitions generally excluded from standard scope.
Delegation strategy
Delegate to sport-specialized insurers (AXA, Allianz). Negotiate 'sport amendment' covering specific activity. For motorcyclists: declare exact engine size. For divers: provide certifications (PADI, CMAS). Consider temporarily stopping practice during risk period.
Numeric example
Motorcyclist borrower 35 (Yamaha MT-09 850cc), 1M MAD credit over 20 years. Standard tariff: 0.22% = 2,200 MAD/year. With +40% motorcycle surcharge: 0.31% = 3,100 MAD/year. 20-year surplus = 18,000 MAD. Alternative: declare practice stop, sign, resume after (risk: false declaration).
Practical tips
- Obtain multiple quotes: insurers value risk differently
- Subscribe young: surcharge proportionally less important
- Detail practice (occasional amateur vs competitor)
- Provide licenses and certifications (seriousness indicator)
- Professional sports activities: require complementary professional insurance
