Outbacker travel insurance

Outbacker's policies aim to cater to many backpackers' requirements with its standard policies. But there are some extra features you can add to your policy for an additional cost. Let's take a look at them:

Additional sports and activities

Outbacker covers a variety of sports and activities as standard. But, winter sports insurance and cover for adventurous activities can be added to your policy as an optional extra, if you need it. You can see the full list of sports and activities covered on the Outbacker website.

Working holidays

Certain working holidays are covered as standard. For example, au pair work is covered, but non-retail work that includes the use of power tools or heavy machinery isn't. It's important to check policy wording if you're planning to work or volunteer abroad to make sure you're covered.

Gadget cover

If you're taking any gadgets on your trip, like your phone or laptop, it's worth considering gadget cover. Sometimes your home contents insurance policy can provide cover for your gadgets while you're abroad. But, it's worth checking whether it offers you enough cover, especially if you're travelling for an extended period of time.
