Backpacker insurance

Hi there, I am wanting to get backpacker insurance and include getting cover for a guardian or parent to fly out in case of emergency. I can’t see this included on any backpacker insurance policy but it is a must as I am going on my own and want some information on any policy’s that include this. Thank you.

    I would look for good health cover rather than this extra if it is difficult to find. Lets hope nothing happens but in a worst case scenario I have no doubt relatives would sort something out. The most important thing is knowing what invalidates your cover i.e. riding on a motorbike, jet ski etc and being careful with alcohol limits.....Personally I am only interested good health cover and repatriation flights.... anything else is a bonus. You might find what you are looking for at the expense of good cover with a reputable insurance company.
