Student Travel Insurance

If you're arranging to go backpacking, inter-railing or a gap-year before or after your studies, it's important that you buy student travel insurance.

A trip to the other end of the world could be one that you've been saving for for a long time. And an unexpected crisis like having your baggage stolen or getting injured could ruin it. It's therefore worthwhile insuring against these risks by purchasing student travel insurance.

When traveling abroad certain risks should be covered by your student travel insurance. One of the most important being your health! Don't simply rely upon your E111. This only gives very basic emergency medical treatment and does not apply in all countries. The cost of a broken limb could be astronomical for you and your family, running into £1,000's! Our Student Travel Insurance products have been designed to cover such risks, with up to £5,000,000 available for medical expense costs.

AXA, our Insurer also has a dedicated accident emergency helpline number for you to contact if you are hurt, and they can liaise with the local hospitals to ensure you are looked after. Its available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

If you're traveling then all your belongings tend to be safely on your back! However, they're always in one place, and if you were to lose or have that backpack stolen then your trip could turn out to be a disaster. With our insurance company AXA Insurance UK plc, we have included extensive coverage for personal possessions. Our student travel insurance covers the following:

• Your baggage and belongings (up to £750/£500)
• Passport and documents (up £200/£150)
