Gap Year Travel Insurance

Travel insurance may not be the most exciting part of planning your gap year, but it doesn’t have to be a pain to organise. True Traveller Insurance is straightforward, great value cover for gappers that doesn’t cost the earth.

So what kind of gap year insurance do you need? Well, our clients told us what’s really important is good medical cover, but they also said they didn’t see the point paying for baggage cover when the contents of their backpacks really weren’t worth that much, likewise, why have cancellation insurance if you’re not booking hostels and rooms in advance? We agreed and designed our policies especially for gap year travellers, making sure you have the cover you need, but keeping prices low at the same time.

So here it is our great value gap year travel insurance, that you can take out up to the age of 49, so great for career gappers too, with outstanding medical cover (up to £5m) including medical repatriation to your home country, personal liability and personal accident cover as well as legal expenses. It also covers 50 activities as standard, including trekking to 2000m with just a small supplement payable if you want to climb Kilimanjaro or work when you’re away. Oh, and if you’re sitting in an internet café in La Paz and you realise your insurance has run out, you can extend your policy or renew online. And if you’re already abroad and don’t have any insurance at all, we’ll still cover you as long as you’re normally resident in the UK or Europe.

The True Traveller is a travel company, not an insurance company, and although we believe we’ve designed the best value gap year travel insurance we possibly can, we understand that the price of insurance does put people off taking it out to start with. Our maxim is, if you can’t afford travel insurance, you can’t afford to travel.

True Traveller Insurance is rated 4.9 out of 5 based on 66 customer reviews.
