As a backpacker, finding the best travel insurance policies can be challenging as there are a huge amount of policies available on the market and seemingly little to choose between them. Obviously the priority for a budget traveller is getting a policy for the best value possible without sacrificing the insurance cover needed, whether you are heading out on a long term trip around the world or just a short term backpacking break. At Navigator, we want to offer you the best backpacker travel insurance policy for your needs.

One of the key things you need to ensure is that activities that you plan on doing on your trip are covered and, if they’re not, what the additional cost is to add them on at a later date. When travelling around the world for a long period impromptu opportunities may arise, so it’s important you know exactly where you stand from an insurance perspective. You might fancy some Muay Thai in Thailand or doing a bungee jump in Peru, but whatever takes your fancy you need to be sure that you’re insurance covers you in the event of a worst case scenario.

Backpackers often find themselves on the road without a clear idea of which activities they are covered for and which activities are excluded by the small print on a complicated travel insurance policy. It’s worth spending a bit of extra time when choosing you policy so you know exactly which one is best for you and you don’t find yourself stranded on the other side of the world with an illness or injury and no insurance to cover expensive hospital fees. Navigator Travel’s Travel Insurance Tips & Advice page gives you a simple breakdown of what to look out for when choosing you policy so that you don’t get burnt like this when you’re away.

Here at Navigator we want to make the process as simple as possible for backpackers, providing all the information up front in a simple and easy to understand format, as well as being available to discuss any issues personally with you if required via phone or email.
