Backpacker travel insurance
So, you're off backpacking are you? You've spent hours pouring over maps, reading the Lonely Planet and dreaming of tropical beaches, but have you thought of insurance? For the backpacker, travel insurance is essential. What happens when you get stranded in Nepal, or come down with amoebic dysentery in India?
Well, you needn't give the awful scenario a second thought if you're covered by Travel Insurance Discounts. For as little as £90 we can cover you for a three month worldwide trip, giving you full cover on hospitalisation and surgery (up to £5m), emergency rescue and repatriation, and personal accident.
Our backpacker travel insurance policies are tailored to suit your trip. We let you select the length of your cover, which countries you wish to be covered for and optional extras such as baggage and cancellation cover, as well as winter sports. That way you only pay for what you really need.
We understand that backpackers are on tight budgets, so we've cut out all the unnecessary administration using a simple and efficient online booking system, passing the savings on to you. Even a backpacker who has already started travelling can arrange travel insurance in a few minutes, and we'll email you the policy immediately, confirming your cover.
Backpackers are more prone to emergencies than other travellers and we wouldn't want to leave you skint and stranded in a strange place without ready access to medical attention. Adventures can sometimes turn into nightmares, your gear gets stolen, you miss your onward flight and money belts go missing. That's why we cover you for baggage loss (up to £1,500), cash replacement (up to £250) and cancellations/delays (up to £3,000).
Strange countries may seem welcoming to tourists, but suddenly wrap you up in red tape when an emergency occurs. Our services also include personal liability cover (up to £2m), cover for mugging and hi-jacking (£500) and legal costs (up to £15,000).
Let Travel Insurance Discounts cover you with backpacker travel insurance, giving you peace of mind while you enjoy yourself in exotic places.
Note that policies are only issued for trips of durations between 1 and 12 months and do not cover you for accidents incurred while engaged in manual labour.
