Working Holiday Insurance

Not all travel insurance policies are created equal when it comes to working holidays! A lot of insurance companies will not cover working abroad so you really have to do your homework before buying. Which country you're coming from will determine which policies you're able to buy except World Nomads who are open to almost every nationality.

World Nomads

Eligible Countries:

You are covered for all work abroad unless your claim can be recovered from your employers' workers compensation insurance. The major advantage of World Nomads is that it can be purchased from anywhere in the world. So if you are not living in your home country and need insurance, these are your guys. Perfect for working holidaymakers who stay away for ages. Get a Quote

Downunder Insurance

Eligible Countries:

Work is covered with the exception of work involving the use of heavy machinery or manual labour above ground level. Fruit picking is not considered manual labour so working with ladders is covered. This policy is good for UK residents travelling to Australia and NZ because if you plan to spend at least 75% of your time there you will be covered for a stopover in Asia without having to buy worldwide coverage. There is a 10% discount for UK policies purchased online. Get a Quote
