student travel insurance

Have you finished your studies, whether at school or university and are looking for to cover yourself for your backpacking adventure? Outbacker is a specialist backpacker & student travel insurance provider, with insurance that has been designed to offer protection for travellers under the age of 40. Whether you're looking to head away over the summer break or looking to travel for a much longer period of time, you can trust Outbacker to keep you protected on your travels.

Our standard student travel insurance covers you for a wide range of potential mishaps and issues that can happen whilst you are backpacking abroad - all our policies include emergency medical & dental cover, trip cancellation & abandonment protection, missed departures, personal accident cover, personal liability & legal expenses cover and protection against uninhabitable accommodation - plus there are loads of other great benefits included too.

Always remember that travel insurance should be considered an important part of your travel planning for your trip abroad - with the UK government noting that an air ambulance from the USA's east coast can cost up to £45,000, whilst a scheduled flight, stretcher and doctor escort from Australia could set you back up to £20,000 without the appropriate travel insurance protection.
