Backpackers Travel insurance

What company is the best for backpackers insurance, my son is 26 and is going to India, he wants to be away for at least 12 months.  He doesnt have any pre-existing conditions.

India? 6 months max stay.

I doubt many travel insurance companies care whether he backpacks. If you are simply after the cheapest though, it's best to shop around.

Many Travel bloggers recommend World Nomad's but bear in mind they get paid commission for getting you to follow their links.

I used the Post Office for my last two trips over there, but when the time is right to book another trip, I'll do what I'm recommending you do, shop around and get one that fits

Be careful in regard to activities.  For example many don't cover medical costs if someone hires a motor scooter and they have an accident.

Your Son needs to think about what he needs cover for.

Brokers such as PJ Hayman and Harrison Beaumont are worth contacting to find out about what cover is available.
