Gap Year and Student
Travel Insurance
What are you planning to do on your gap year?
Whether you are backpacking around Europe, going to work abroad, becoming part of a charity project abroad, or simply travelling to broaden your mind and experience the World at first hand. You should ensure that you have the right longstay and backpacker travel insurance to cover you whilst on your travels.
At Sunwise Alpha we want everyone to live life to the full, that’s why we have designed a specialist Longstay travel insurance policy which is ideal for:
-
Students – taking a gap year from studying;
-
Charity or Volunteer Workers – who want an amazing experience and to give something back;
-
Backpackers – who yearn to explore the world;
-
People who want to work or study abroad – What better way to enhance your CV?;
-
Adrenaline and Adventure junkies – Our policies automatically cover hundreds of activities free of charge, with the option to extend your cover to include many more. View activities list;
-
Anyone aged 55 or under who wants an extended holiday – because we all need a break sometimes
Rather than provide a range of policies with different levels of cover and premiums, all Alpha Longstay policies provide you with the same level of cover.
By doing this we ensure that all of our customers are protected on holiday without sacrificing protection for premium.
However, we understand that you need every penny to put towards your trip, so the way that we can provide you with a choice of premiums is to allow you to choose the level of policy excess (i.e. how much you are prepared to contribute towards a claim). You can choose a £250, £150, £100, £60, £50 or £0 excess, the higher the contribution, the cheaper the premium – simple.
We offer:
-
Cover for Worldwide and European trips up to 24 months long;
-
Two return trips home free of charge – in case of home sickness, or family emergencies;
-
Cover for working holidays;
-
Automatically covers hundreds of sports and activities free of charge, with the option to extend your cover to include hundreds more;
