Backpacker Travel Insurance
As a backpacker, holiday insurance should be at the top of your list when organising your overseas adventure. Backpacker travel insurance is usually excellent value and will afford you the most needed cover at more general and affordable levels than other coverage so that you can budget your way around the world without having to worry about the costs that illness or accident might incur without paying an arm and a leg for your policy.
Young travelers tend to travel on a shoe string and backpacker travel insurance fits nicely into this scheme of things due to its great value for money. Shoestring travelers also tend to find accommodation on a shoe string which often means that the accommodation is either not in the best condition or could be situated in a less desirable location than other more expensive accommodation. That is what budget travelling is all about but that doesn’t mean that the traveller should fear for their belongings because backpacker travel insurance will cover loss and theft of personal items while you’re on your adventure regardless of the area you stay in or the number of stars that your hotel boasts.
The right policy will include medical cover, illness and accident cover, cancellation of flights insurance, damage or loss of personal items cover and often cover for those partaking in extreme sports too.
Shoestring travel can also be more unpredictable as the more carefree and usually younger nomads tend to be less picky about the transport that gets them from here to there. Hitch-hiking is not recommended in many areas and is very popular and whilst certain precautions should always be taken, this doesn’t guard against how unpredictable it can be.
Cheaper air travel and land travel are a priority to the backpacker and sometimes this means a lengthier journey and more stations leaving the adventurer, once again, open to more unforeseen circumstances. Backpacker travel insurance is the affordable and smart way to protect you against unexpected holiday problems.
This is the authentic way to travel and a memorable way to meet locals and get an insider’s view into a city. You’ll be exposed to more realistic situations in foreign cities which will enrich your travel experience and makes living on a tight budget well worth it, however, one should never leave home without backpacker travel insurance.
