JasonSensation Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Im also trying to get working holiday insurance, but I am having a few problems. Almost every policy I look into, I read in the small print that it only covers me for a maximum of a 30 day period abroad. So the policy lasts for a year but Im only covered provided I dont spend more than 30 days abroad at any one time. hmmm? So can anyone shed some light on my predicament? Am I reading this wrong or am I looking into the wrong policys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Have you checked STA's backpackers policy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonSensation Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Yeah, I had a look at them. I have booked everything through STA already, but the policys are extortionate! Even my STA travel agent advised me not to book through them because its too expensive, and find somewhere else. ...the search continues.....

louisesteph23 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I spent hours looking last night for myself and boyfriend. I've found outbacker insurance to be the cheapest have a look at them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhi028 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I would advise against STA..I know someone who works there and advised me against it!! I used holiday safe - opretty cheap and covers a lot of activities - only covered for a max of 18 months though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonSensation Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Cheers guys, I will look into outbacker and holiday safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenKav Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Not many insurances cover you for one way flights. You have to read the small print. The only 2 I know of that do cover you for a one way flight are insureandgo & down under insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
