Gap Year & Backpacker Travel Insurance
Be safe. Not sorry.
This is the hub of the Mind The Gap Year concept. Did you know that a quarter of young people do not take out travel insurance, or take out inadequate cover?
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office have more referrals to British Embassies abroad from gap year travellers/backpackers than any other single group.
So that's why Mind The Gap Year has spent the time making sure the Backpacker Insurance policy we are offering you covers a wide range of activities and circumstances.
These include:
- Working; paid or voluntary
- Most sporting and 'risky' activities that are incidental (not pre-planned and booked)
- High risk planned activities can be included if required in your tailor made policy
- Emergency medical treatment; including getting you home
- Legal expenses; including wrongful arrest
- Personal liability
- Travel provider failure
- Bereavement travel costs
... and much more
Mind The Gap Year offers a low cost Economy package, or the fully inclusive Standard package, so you can pick the specialist Gap Year and Backpacker Insurance package to suit your needs and budget.
