Backpackers Travel Insurance At Amazing Premiums
Tailor Made Gap-Year Cover
Get your parents off your back. Get unbeatable cover at low rates.
World First specialise in insurance for backpackers and gap year travellers. Premiums start at just £25.
We cover over 75 sports and activities including white water rafting, scuba diving, windsurfing and bungee jumping, skiing, snowboarding, and more.
Even if your plans change whilst you’re travelling, we can alter the policy to ensure you get to do all the activities you’re confronted with, because let’s face it, when you’re traveling, know one knows what’s going to happen next!
Peace Of Mind The World Over
OK, you don’t want to think about illness, losing your baggage or getting caught up in a personal liability dispute.
But if things do go wrong, help is only a phone call away with our 24-hour emergency assistance service.
We cannot cover manual work, but can provide cover for working in restaurants, teaching, voluntary and chalet maid work.
If you are planning lots of short trips, rather than one long one, our annual multi-trip cover may be your cheapest option.
No Backpackers Cover Travels Better
At World First we have been arranging travel insurance cover since 1973. Every year we look after thousands of backpackers heading off around the globe. And because we are specialists in holiday cover we will be with you every step of the way and especially if you need to make a claim. Peace of mind the world over.
You can buy your policy online and download all your travel documents for instant cover. Or if you prefer to book by phone just call us on 0845 90 80 161 between 8 am and 6 pm or between 9am and 4pm on Saturdays. Either way you will benefit from the same unbeatable premiums.
