Backpacking Insurance is a form of long stay travel insurance aimed at the (often) younger traveller who embarks on lengthy trips around the world.

Backpackers often travel to exotic and remote locations, and they may engage in adventures and sports that ordinary holidaymakers would avoid. There are so many chances to incur injury and loss that insurance is certainly not just an option, it is a certain requirement.

Many insurers have dedicated backpacker insurance cover to offer, and it can be bought online. Do be sure what you are buying and that you have made a full disclosure of your situation e.g. pre-existing medical conditions, and your intentions e.g. white water rafting. Be sure to check all particulars on the travel insurers' web sites.
