Ok so I started my travels in July 2010 and had a 24month backpacker travel insurance but that has now expired and I need advice on what to do next....

I am currently on my second year working holiday visa in Australia and any backpacker travel insurance sites I look up online says I need to be in Ireland to apply for more travel insurance.

Only thing I can find is health insurance in australia for $80 a month but I don't want this, I want basic backpacker insurance for another year that is just a one off payment.

Any advice or help on this topic would be greatly appreciated Reply to this

Hi Elaine,

I usually use World Nomads insurance as you can purchase online, and also extend/claim online if you need to later. Reply to this

I second Jo's advice.

Whenever I travel, I use World Nomad insurance. You can purchase it while you are away and extended it as many times as you want. Reply to this
