Backpacking Insurance
Nobody wants to think about things going wrong while travelling, but unfortuately they can happen, such as a medical emergency, accident or theft. So being prepared for this by taking out a backpacker insurance policy will give you some additional peace of mind.
Additional Sports Cover Available
There are 150 different Sports and Activities available to add to your policy. Not all activities are included under every plan, so check your policy schedule before purchasing to ensure your sports or activities are covered and for some activities there is an additional premium to pay to have them included.
So whether you are considering skiing or snowbiarding on the slopes or working your way around the world fruit picking or even volunteering and participating in light manual work then make sure these are covered when buying your policy.
2 Levels of Cover to Choose from
There are two levels of cover to choose from, Standard Plan and Explorer Plan. Both provide cover for emergency medical expenses overseas, loss of bagge and much more. Cover limits vary between the two plans and additioanl features can be added to these base plans.
