Backpacker Travel Insurance

Backpackers Travel Insurance

The Travelblog Travel Guide tries to be as unbiased as possible, offering only the best advice and does not normally recommend particular products and companies. One exception is made here: for backpacker insurance, no company has yet offered a product that competes with World Nomads in terms of features and price. They offer travel insurance to all countries - (with sensible exceptions - you aren't covered for travel to war zones) - and do not leave out the most interesting places, like other insurance companies do. You can also purchase your insurance when you have already left! - Since most backpackers leave travel insurance to the last minute - and beyond - this is a fantastic feature. In addition, should you decide to stay on beyond your original travel dates, you can get a new policy on the Internet without having to be in your country of residence.

For these reasons Travelblog Travel Guide recommends Backpackers Travel Insurance from World Nomads, but you should always read the small print and always shop around. More information

Please Note: World Nomads does not include coverage for those over 61 currently.
