Over 100,000 Britons leave the UK on extended holidays every year. For those traveling from country to country for long periods, buying a suitable backpacker insurance policy is a vital step in preparation for your trip. These policies are available from a number of travel insurance providers and differ significantly in price and level of cover, so check the small print and shop around until you find a policy that you feel offers you all the protection you require. Though the majority of backpackers enjoy problem-free travels, the risk does exist and the costs incurred for getting into trouble without appropriate insurance are potentially huge. There are a number of important factors to look for when considering your choice of policy: Make sure you are covered for the duration of your travels – most insurance providers offer backpackers’ cover for anything from 1 to 18 months. Check that the policy covers you for the countries to which you intend to travel, and that you are covered for working abroad should you plan to do so.
