Some of the top tips for people seeking
backpacker travel insurance have been given by a gap year organisation.
Mind The Gap Year has highlighted the importance of taking out comprehensive insurance for a trip overseas and underlined the need for travellers to make sure they are fully covered in the event of an accident.
Among the advice offered to gap year travellers is to make sure they are fully aware of what type of travel insurance they are purchasing and to make sure it will cover a variety of different activities that they may undertake while overseas.
Many gap year backpackers will choose to do exciting events while on the trip of a lifetime and as a result it is important that any insurance will cover extreme sports and activities, the organisation explains.
Meanwhile, Gapyear.com has reported that a growing number of older travellers are choosing to take environmentally-friendly gap years.
Founder Tom Griffith explained that there has been an increase in the number of older, more discerning travellers in recent months as the recession results in some young professionals choosing to spend redundancy money on a trip abroad.
