The Backpacker policy is our most popular travel insurance policy for your Big OE

Travel Insurance is available right now with our Backpacker Travel Insurance Policy. This Backpacker Travel Insurance policy is ideal for the backpacker or traveller who wants reasonable levels of cover, including cover for their baggage should it get lost or stolen. This policy is provided at extremely competitive rates for travellers under the age of 45 travelling abroad and is most popular with young travellers going overseas on a working holiday.

The fantastically priced travel insurance product referred to herein is underwritten by Europ Assistance Holding Irish Branch and provides peace of mind for the budget traveller, as with all our policies, you are automatically covered for hazardous activities, such as bungee jumping, paragliding and white water rafting (grades 1-4), not often available with this type of backpacker insurance for no additional premium.

You could travel to Australia or New Zealand for a full 12 months with up to 25% of your trip spent worldwide, with good cover for as little as £162.00 (online price only).
