Backpacker Travel Insurance

Insurance for the Long Road

If you're planning an extended trip — whether it's a gap year in South-East Asia, a working holiday in Australia, or a multi-country backpacking adventure — you need insurance designed for long-term travel. Standard single-trip policies often don't cover the length of stay, the number of countries, or the activities that backpackers enjoy.

Backpacker travel insurance gives you the freedom to explore on your own terms, with robust medical cover, adventure activity options, and the flexibility to change your plans as you go.

What's Included?

• Trip cover from 3 months up to 18 months
• Medical expenses and repatriation up to £10,000,000
• Multi-country and multi-region cover
• Over 50 adventure activities included as standard
• Working holiday cover (manual and non-manual work)
• Baggage and personal belongings up to £2,000
• Cancellation cover up to £3,000
• 24/7 emergency assistance worldwide
• Option to extend your policy while abroad

Adventure Activities Included

Higher-risk activities like skydiving or mountaineering above 4,000m can be added for an additional premium.
