Navigator Travel specialises in long stay travel insurance for gap year travel, volunteering or studying overseas, career break and sabbatical travel and backpacking to individual destinations, round-the-world itineraries or working holidays.

These policies offer flexibility that allow you to extend your duration whilst abroad or upgrade the policy to include more extreme sports and activities if required.

When you plan your holiday or travel arrangements it is important to choose your holiday insurance with care. Many policies do not give cover for adventurous or hazardous sports and it is frequent for holiday insurance not to cover working whilst traveling.

Navigator offers several online insurances that cover working and many sports and hazardous activities. Our ADVENTURES policy is aimed primarily at travellers requiring cover for hazardous sports or work, with a good selection of sports covered. The SILVER, GOLD & DIAMOND policies cover fewer types of work and sporting activities.

This important part of trip planning is all too often given insufficient consideration and many holiday makers travel each year with policies that are not suitable for the activities that they are undertaking. There is such a range of travel types that it is often difficult to identify the right policy without a lot of research. Some of the specialist policies offered here at Navigator are:

– Backpacker Insurance
– Working Travel Insurance
– Volunteering Abroad Insurance
– After Departure Insurance
– Extreme Sports Insurance

A common mistake when selecting a policy for long stay travel is to buy an Annual Multi-Trip holiday insurance. Because these are advertised as “annual holiday insurance” it is assumed that they would give cover for a long stay trip, such as a gap year holiday. In reality, whilst they will give insurance cover for many trips, there is an individual trip duration limit, often only 31 days. This type of cover can be invalidated if your trip is longer than this duration, so for holidays like this you need long stay cover. Our NAVIGATOR SILVER & GOLD policies cover long trips of up to 18 months duration.

It is also increasingly popular these days for people to seek work overseas, and it is important that you get a working travel insurance cover to ensure that work is covered. Many holiday policies will not cover claims that arise in the workplace, though Navigator offer policies like the High Risk Voyager or Adventures, covering manual work, using heavy machinery, working with animals and agricultural work.  There will be additional conditions attached to manual work, and occasionally higher cost. Personal Liability claims are not covered though; these should be covered by the employer who should have insurance in place to protect against such eventualities.

Whatever your requirements, we will try to obtain a suitable quote to cover your needs, and offer a personal service to try and ensure that the policy meets your expectations. Call us now or get a quote online!
