Backpacker Travel Insurance

Travel insurance for backpacking, gap-year and more.

This is an ideal policy for travellers going backpacking, enjoying a gap year, voluntary service overseas, work experience abroad or just an extended holiday either in Europe or worldwide.

Backpacking usually involves several different countries, a lot of travelling, plus events and activities that you wouldn’t normally partake in, sometimes of a risky nature. This makes backpacker travel insurance an absolute must. You can give yourself complete peace of mind so your cover allows you to enjoy everything a backpacking adventure has to offer by taking out our comprehensive backpacker travel insurance.

If you are heading away on a backpacking adventure you need to know that you are covered. A lot of backpacking holidays involve countries that don’t have a free health service, so you need to know that if you get ill or have an accident that you are entitled to the medical treatment you require. Teletext backpacker travel insurance can give you that confidence.

Round the world trips, gap years or as most people call it these days ‘going travelling’ are becoming more and more popular. These backpacking trips are usually for the younger generations; however we are seeing more older people packing that backpack and setting off on the adventure of a lifetime.
