Gap Year Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is an essential part of any international trip. If any problems occur whilst travelling such as health, loss or damage your insurance company will be on hand to offer assistance and financial help. If you are undertaking a Working Holiday Gap Year then check that your insurance policy covers you whilst you are working. Cheaper policies usually have excesses on claims so make sure you read the policy in detail before siging up. Also make sure that the travel insurance policy is undersigned by a credible company. If you are thinking of doing some adrenalin sports whilst in New Zealand check that your insurance policy covers this. Below are some insurance companies that have been used by people on our forum:
