Gigasure, the innovative travel insurance provider, launches Backpacker insurance with customisable benefits including Search and Rescue and Back to Base cover. People of all ages are now trying backpacker and hostel type holidays, so the opportunity is there to fine tune cover to match different needs, in challenging locations. Here’s the word;
Gigasure’s Backpacker Travel Insurance is designed for adventurers embarking on extended trips, exploring multiple destinations, and diving into thrilling activities like hiking, scuba diving, and more. Tailored to meet the unique needs of adventure-driven travellers, Gigasure is redefining backpacker insurance by offering coverage that keeps up with the spontaneity and excitement of globe-trotting adventures.
This product offers two plans to choose from—Core and Max—both of which can be customised post-purchase using Gigasure’s app feature, Boost. Through the app, travellers can add permanent Boosts, which remain valid for the entire duration of their Backpacker policy. For those spur-of-the-moment adventures, temporary Boosts are also available, allowing travellers to add coverage for activities like golf, skiing, adventure sports, or cruise cover. This flexible functionality saves backpackers money by letting them pay only for the coverage they need, when they need it, rather than for the entire policy duration.
Additionally, Gigasure offers a unique Back to Base benefit, allowing travellers to return home up to three times during their backpacking journey—perfect for reconnecting with family without losing the essence of adventure. With coverage for trips lasting up to 13 months, Gigasure’s Backpacker policy is designed to support every step of the travellers experience.
Gigasure Max policyholders enjoy an added layer of protection with Search and Rescue cover as standard, offering unparalleled peace of mind during their travels. In the event of a life-threatening situation—such as getting lost in the wilderness or experiencing a serious accident in a remote location—this benefit helps cover the costs of deploying professional search and rescue teams to locate and assist the traveller.
This extra level of support not only reassures the policyholder but also provides comfort to their family and friends, knowing that expert help is just a call away in case of an emergency while exploring the world.
Gigasure’s Backpacker Policy features GigaShield Flight and Baggage Delay, a real-time cash benefit designed to keep travels stress-free. This innovative feature offers cash payouts or vouchers for airport lounge access if a flight is delayed by more than three hours, as well as cash payments for delayed baggage to cover essential items quickly and conveniently.
To further simplify the experience, Gigasure has created a streamlined claims process to eliminate unnecessary hassle while travelling. With the Gigasure app, claims forms are pre-populated, allowing travellers to submit claims in just a few clicks — saving time, reducing stress, and letting them focus on the adventure ahead.
