About Us - Backpackers Travel Insurance

Best Backpackers Insurance provides long stay travel insurance cover for travelers on extended trips for up to 18 months. We got together with our underwriters at Europ Assistance to come up with a fantastic policy that covers the needs of gap year travellers and has a little extra.

A great feature of our long stay policy is the ability to make "Back Home" visits. You can return to the UK if you need to, for whatever reason, once your trip resumes on foreign soil, your cover will resume. Your Backpacker policy may also cover you when you are taking a working holiday.

You can include most of the best and most popular sporting activities and increase the cover to include some rather more daring pursuits if you wish. If you want to take your lap top and keep in touch with friends and family back home, we can include that too!

Our site is easy to use and the simple booking engine allows you to book on line with immediate cover. Our policies are underwritten by Europ Assistance, as we mentioned before, they are a global company and the only one offering direct telephone contact with health professionals through a 24 hour helpline. Best Backpackers Insurance endorses the Foreign and Commonwealth "Know Before You Go" campaign and our site includes useful tips and information essential for safe and enjoyable gap year travel.
