Backpackers travel insurance

Backpacker travel insurance from Travel Insurance Direct is low cost cover for backpackers travelling around the world. So whether on a GAP year, working holiday, studying abroad or simply soaking up the sun on dreamy beaches, we can provide the best value backpacker holiday insurance.

Our essentials Plus cover is a policy that is inexpensive and popular with young people who travel on limited budgets and even covers incidents that travelers may not even realise they are covered for.

For example, a person purchasing backpacker insurance may be covered if he must cancel his trip due to a failed university examination and may also cover cancellation of travel plans due to illness, too not just the insured party's illness, but any illness of a friend or family member whose situation would cause the insured party to want to remain home.
