Hi all.
My son is spending his 3rd year of university at Upsala University near Stockholm,Sweden.
We asked him to be sure he has adequate insurance for the year and he said back packers insurance was ok because it was cheap!!!
I'm not a fan of buying the cheapest as its not always worth the paper its printed on!!
He has cover via the University while on there premises and while studying off site with them, I just want to be sure he is covered for the rest of the time. he has his E111 card though not sure if that's any good anymore!!
thanks in advance for your advice
Carl

He needs an EHIC (Gets reduced or free cover in Sweden)
The UNI cover and Back packers sounds ok for his travels - check the wording and compare the cover to be sure.0 -
Cheers for that0
