Backpacker Travel Insurance for Australian Backpackers and Travellers
Backpacker Travel Insurance Australia
Backpacker travel insurance has to be affordable, cover all the necessities (like adventure sports and emergency medical cover) and be easy to buy
(online purchase 24/7). Funnily enough, Downunder Insurance is all these things and more, but most importantly we won't rip you off and take away
your hard earned travelling dollars from you. We have been in the business of providing backpacker travel insurance worldwide for more than 12 years.
Our backpacker travel insurance policies have been developed specifically to meet the needs of backpackers, gap year students and working holiday
makers. We have 2 very specific policies with different levels of cover and price for you to choose from. If you are under the age of 55 years when departing Australia, and are an Australian resident, our backpacker travel insurance policies are available to you.
Backpacker Travel Insurance - Why do I need it? Backpacker Travel Insurance
If you are travelling the world as a backpacker, your life will be in your backpack and you will be hoping to save as much money along the way to prolong your travels. So what happens if the unthinkable occurs and you get sick or even worse, injured while travelling, or your backpack gets stolen with your passport and money inside it? This is when backpacker travel insurance comes into its own.
At the very least, you should be covered for medical emergencies, with 24 hour around the clock assistance included as standard. It is important you get
medical cover as medical costs and charges can escalate out of control in a very short space of time. The last thing you'll want if you are sick or injured is to have to figure out a way to repay hefty medical bills, especially if you are travelling and without a job.
