Travel Safely

When people go travelling they almost always remember their sunglasses, remember their sun cream and usually their tickets, one of the things many people do forget about sometimes at their peril is the real need for some kind of travel health insurance. Whether you are visiting Uncle Arthur in London or planning a trip across the USA on roller skates you really should make your health your number one priority. Many travellers see overseas travel insurance as an added expense they really could do without, this is without doubt a serious mistake. We provide a range of policies to suit every budget and pride ourselves on having something to suit everyone. If you should have any questions regarding any aspect of the services we provide please do not hesitate to contact us and one of our dedicated advisors will be happy to address any queries you may have.

Accidents Abroad

If you should have an accident abroad, some countries are better equipped to deal with your condition than others so it pays to do some research before setting off. For example if you were to have an accident in the UK you would probably have access to a more than adequate level of care whereas an accident in the highlands of Central Vietnam could be a different story altogether. Aside from the lack of facilities, an accident in a less developed nation could result in hefty charges involved in repatriation and crucial time lost between the time of injury and access to an acceptable level of medical care. Save yourself the worry and take a look at the range of budget travel insurance policies we provide, it could be the best money you ever spend. For the best travel insurance at the best price please add this page to your favourites.

Peace of Mind

Although a large proportion of us will never need to activate our holiday travel insurance whilst overseas, if the worst should come to the worst you know you will be taken care of by a leader in the provision of worldwide travel insurance. There have been several well documented cases of people having accidents abroad with no or an inadequate level of cover, aside from the obvious discomfort experienced by the injured party, the costs, usually paid for by the victim’s family can run into hundreds of thousands of pounds. This is a scenario we would never like to experience either from the victims point of view or their families, but nonetheless, accidents do happen so it makes sense you get yourself an adequate policy before you leave home. Please take your time to browse our website and if you do not understand anything please call us for clarification.

Cheap Travel Insurance

Contrary to popular belief and some of the quotes provided by other annual travel insurance companies, a decent policy that meets your needs needn’t cost the earth. We realise that not every traveller can afford or even wants the best level of medical cover that money can buy; the vast majority want an international travel insurance policy that covers them for the essentials. Access to emergency medical care and repatriation are the only things that the majority of travellers want from their insurance which is why we strive to provide a number of different options dependent on our clients’ needs and budget. We also realise that no two customers are ever the same which is why we offer a series of optional add-ons should our customers require them; we basically provide the means for the customers to build their own bespoke policy.

A Right of Passage

For many young and not so young the backpacking trail is a right of passage and although full of enlightening experiences and unrivalled excitement there are still some potential pitfalls, the main pitfall being illness or injury. In some parts of the world a certain amount of illness is inevitable, but for more serious conditions and accidents purchasing a comprehensive backpackers travel insurance policy is essential. This type of policy should be every traveller’s number one priority, failure to do so can result in potentially catastrophic consequences at worst and a debilitating financial situation at best. Whether you trip route involves going overland to Delhi or by air to Dallas make sure you have an adequate level of insurance from a recognised provider. Before you purchase any form of insurance policy please be sure to read the small print and what you’re covered for, it could save you any unexpected surprises if you need to claim.

A Quality Provider

When sourcing your cheap travel insurance provider we would strongly urge you to select carefully. If a company provides you with a quote that is significantly cheaper than other providers we would advise you to proceed with extreme caution. Some of the prices quoted online are simply unfeasible in regard to providing an adequate level of travel/medical insurance, the basic rule of thumb is that if it seems too good to be true then it very probably is. Paying way too little for an insurance policy may result in the services offered not being upto an acceptable standard and although there are occasionally real bargains to be found these are few and far between. Picking a reputable provider such as Down Under Insurance not only gives you the peace of mind that comes as standard but also provides you with all the assistance you need should the unexpected happen.
