Backpackers and Gap Year Travel Insurance
If you planing an extended trip away then backpackers insurance is a must. It came in extremely handy after getting mugged in Belem in Brazil. Don’t listen to the guide books, make sure you get a police report, we did and managed to claim with out any problems, which was nice. Backpackers Travel Insurance covers you for a much longer periods than normal travel cover, the type you’d need for a gap year traveling around the world rather than a couple of weeks in Spain. If you come a cropper, which hopefully you wont, it comes in very useful!
Heres a selection (all prices are for 12 months, world wide ex USA under 36 years of age). When we went for 8 months we insured using Boots Insurance. I seem to recall it had the best cover and most reasonable excess and they paid out when we claimed with no problems.
