Compare Gap Year Travel Insurance

Gap year travel insurance is a necessity for giving you peace of mind whether you are travelling or working abroad. Most policies offer cover for at least 365 days, some up to 2 years so whatever the length of your trip you will be sure to find adequate cover. Most gap year insurances only cover you for one trip which means that you can travel throughout the world but the cover ends when you return back to the UK. If you are planning to take several different trips over the course of a year, annual cover may be a more suitable option.

Insurers understand that you want to make the most of your gap year and so many include a wide variety of sports and activities within the cover, for those who plan a more adventure based trip, additional cover for more extreme sports such as parachuting or white water rafting is available can be added to your policy.

Whether you plan to travel in style or on a budget you are sure to find a level of gap year cover suitable for your needs. Often gap year policies give you only basic cover for your possessions so be sure to familiarise yourself with your policy documents to make sure that any valuables you intend to take with you are covered.
