Built for
backpacking trips.
From city-to-city moves to overnight transport and activity-heavy days, this cover is built for how backpackers actually travel.
Backpacking Cover
Protection for longer adventures, changing routes, and travel that does not follow a fixed itinerary.
No Limits on Countries Visited
No cap on how many countries you visit. Your cover moves with you regardless of how many borders you cross.
Baggage and Personal Belongings
Luggage, travel documents, and personal items are covered against loss, theft, and damage throughout your trip.
90+ Activities Automatically Included
Over 90 activities are covered as standard, no add-ons. If it's on our list, you're protected from day one.
Cancellation Cover
If you need to cancel or cut your trip short, we cover unrecoverable costs including flights, accommodation, and prepaid expenses.
24/7 Emergency Assistance
Our emergency assistance team is available around the clock, every day of the year, wherever you are in the world.
Backpacking Travel Insurance
Backpacking travel is usually high-mobility and low-structure. Plans change, transport changes, and routes can shift weekly. This policy is designed for that reality, so your cover can stay in place while your itinerary keeps moving.
Cover includes medical expenses, cancellation and curtailment, and belongings protection for insured events, with terms that suit multi-stop journeys rather than a single fixed-destination break.
Designed for route-first travel
Backpackers often book one leg, then decide the next destination on the road. This page focuses on that travel style, including:
- Multi-country travel on one policy
- Cover for changing itineraries within your area
- Belongings protection while moving between places
- Adventure activity protection as standard
- 24/7 emergency assistance access abroad
