Safe guard your adventures from £5.40

Backpacking is a great way to explore the world as it allows flexibility and keeps costs down. However, some might think getting travel insurance for this type of trip could be expensive, especially because of the length of cover required.

Columbus Direct provides comprehensive backpacker and gap year travel insurance at amazingly low prices offering coverage for trips to Europe and Worldwide, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada and USA. Plus cover is available for trips lasting from 31 days up to 12 months, with the option to return home during the trip if necessary. Prices start from as little as £21.52 for a 31 day trip.

If you are planning a year long trip you’ll probably want to earn some extra spending money on your travels, that’s why Columbus backpacker policies provide cover for light general work whilst you are away. And for the more adventurous they also cover a wide variety of sports and activities as standard, including Scuba diving to 30m, with many more activities available for a small supplement.
