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.
Some of the many benefits of True Traveller Insurance include:
Medical and Repatriation cover of up to £10M (€10M for European policies)
Cover for up to 18 months, and then you can extend at a discount if you need to
Free home visits
Claim on the road, hospital bills paid directly
No return ticket required
92 activities included as standard
So here it is our great value gap year travel insurance, that you can take out up to the age of 65, so great for career gappers too, with outstanding medical cover including medical repatriation to your home country, personal liability and personal accident cover as well as legal expenses. It also covers 92 activities as standard, including trekking to 3,000m with just a small supplement payable if you want to trek the Inca Trail or work when you’re away. Oh, and if you’re sitting in an internet café in Hanoi and you realise your insurance is about to expire, you can extend your policy as well. 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 was originally 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.
