Backpacker Travel Insurance

Backpacker travel insurance is for people who are taking from a couple of months to a year out of their everyday life to travel the world. Cover for these policies usually include medical, baggage, working abroad, and various sporting activities.

The usual questions apply to ascertain how much of a risk you and your activities pose, including: country of residence, policy type, destination countries, time of trips, group type and composition. This will determine how much your policy will cost but as with all other insurance policies we sell here at cheap-insurance-travel.co.uk they are open to negotiation and circumstance may dictate price.

This policy benefits you if you want to go away, as the name suggests, on a backpacking holiday for a long time. Backpacker travel insurance is similar to annual travel insurance in that it covers for a whole year but it is better in that you can be gone for that whole year on one trip and it will still cover you as there is no cut-off point at 60 days, instead it stretches to a massive 365 days of the year (366 on leap years). We cover many sports in the policy as standard but if you don't intend on taking part in these sports you can save money by getting them taken off of the policy, similarly you can add extra sports for a small supplement.

You can choose to have this policy cover yourself, couples, and groups so if you are planning to go as a group you could save money by coming to us and getting yourselves all covered under the umbrella of one policy.

The coverage you get:

• Worldwide cover
• Policy discounts for larger groups
• Travel insurance for up to 1 year
• Sports and activities cover
• No upper age limit
• Fully customizable coverage (charges apply)

There are 2 main types of policy within the Backpacker travel insurance policy, they are the single trip travel insurance policy where you can stay out of the country for 1 year and you will be covered and this includes 185 days of travel time, or there is the “globetrotting” policy for the person that expects to be moving from one place to another constantly for a year where you are covered for continuous travel over the year you are away.
