Gap Year Insurance
Most women dream of taking time out to go travelling around the world. Whether you’re about to start uni but want to travel first or your kids have finally left home and you fancy a career break, it’s never too late to see the world.
Taking a gap year is as popular as ever and a number of insurance companies now offer insurance specifically designed with gap year and career breaks in mind. Whether you’re volunteering in Africa, working in the US, or taking the travel adventure of your dreams you should be able to find a quote that suits you with Quotes4Women.
Gap year insurance will usually include the same type of cover as standard travel insurance such as emergency medical cover and protection if your belongings are lost or stolen but most importantly can include extra benefits for sticky situations likely to arise on gap year trips. These can include:
- Legal advice and expenses. If you get into a dispute with an employee whilst working abroad a number of gap year policies will pay for any legal fees and related costs.
- Cancellation Cover. If your trip is cancelled and you lose your deposit, gap year insurance could cover your losses.
- Search and rescue. A number of gap year policies will include cover for any costs related to search and rescue should anything happen to you.
- Baggage Cover. If your suitcase is stolen or lost at the airport what’s a girl to do?! Most gap year policies will include baggage cover for you to replace you clothes.
If you’re an adventurous type of women, the majority of gap year insurers on Quotes4Women’s panel also include cover for 100’s of sports and activities such as bungee jumping, scuba diving, trekking and white water rafting and if you’re enjoying yourself so much over there that you don’t want to come home you can even choose to extend your insurance cover with most gap year insurers.
