Any suggestions or recommendations? my trip will be 12mths in total... quotes are coming back anywhere between £130 and £350

Obviously its not something i want to cut corners on, just looking for good cover at a reasonable price

Any help appreciated

Hi,

I'm an ex back packer looking to go again at some point. Therefor i'm always swapping ideas and tips with others.

My little bros looking at going away at the moment( so jelouse) and has just come across a company called Mind The Gap Year who seem to specialise in Gap Year Insurance,

I guess if you google Mind The Gap Year youll find them.

Good luck

In the past I have always used Travel Insurance Direct. They do a very good range of backpackers/rtw type policies which I seem to remember are called 'Discovery'.

I beleive they are underwritten by AXA, have a huge range of activities included as standard and for a year it was around the £150 mark.
