Gap Year, Career Breaker, Backpacker & Adventure Travel

Nowadays, taking an ‘extended’ holiday can be motivated by so many reasons – but most travel insurance companies still treat everyone as if they were all backpackers. It was against this background that Preferential developed Worldtrekker™ Travel Insurance, so now you can tailor make a policy to suit what you need travel insurance for.

  • GAP YEAR STUDENT - If you are taking time out for Gap Year travel, you can ensure that Worldtrekker™ gives you cover that is right for you – for any time up to 18 months duration!
  • CAREER BREAKER - If you are travelling during a career break, as many are, Worldtrekker™ is available up to and including the age of 45
  • BACKPACKER – If you are backpacking and looking for essential cover at a low price, then our STANDARD Worldtrekker™ policy could be right for you – as always the choice is yours
  • ADVENTURE TRAVEL – if you intend to indulge in Adventure travel, including potentially hazardous sports, then you may add cover for those specific sports through our Worldtrekker™ SPORTS, EXTREME and ULTRA options, as detailed below.
