insurance

[outofhere]

Hello everyone, new to this forum so, HELLO.

I have just returned from a trip downunder. This was my first long trip abroad. Like most people i have no understanding of insurance and left it to the last minute to sort out.

I really struggled to find a cheap way of doing it.

I've really logged onto this forum(which i found out about from a fellow traveller) to let you guys know about an affordable insurance policy. I took mine out with 'Go Walkabout' travel insurance. Advice was good and premium was cheap for the activites i participated in.

I realised that money is tight when ever you are arranging a trip so just thought it would be fair to let everyone know so you can have some more beer tokens once on your travels!

Cheers

Cheeps good but don't forget about quality cover,
I've met several people who have come a cropper whislt traveling because there insurance didn't cover them for something they thought it would.

You would be supprised the number of policys that don't cover working.

Always a good idea to read through the policy in full before travel - I know this can be really boring but it can mean the difference between getting a quality cover or being screwed over!!!

When backpacking I use www.travel-insurance.net and haven't ever had any problems (saying that I've only ever claimed once!!) but it seems to be a good cover and underwritten by axa. My friend has also used Trailfinders in the past and they apparently offer very good cover.
