Travel insurance provider, Gigasure, has launched a backpacker insurance with customisable benefits including Search and Rescue and Back to Base cover. 

The newly launched insurance model is designed for adventurers taking extended trips, exploring multiple destinations, or partaking in activities such as hiking, scuba diving, and more. 

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. 

Gigasure also offers a Back to Base benefit, allowing travellers to return home up to three times during their backpacking journey.

Gigasure Max policyholders have 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 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 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 simplify the experience further, 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. 

Ernesto Suarez, CEO of Gigasure: “Going backpacking or away on a gap year is exciting and travellers will be looking forward to having lots of new experiences and adventures. 

“No one wants to think about something bad happening, but travellers want to know that if they need assistance while abroad, they are covered. 

This is why we have created this unique backpacker policy, to provide reassurance that should the worst happen, Gigasure is there to support the traveller in various ways.  

“We want backpackers to embrace everything their travels have to offer, which includes the ability to be spontaneous. 

“We’ve added the Boost function to cover these unique opportunities so that travellers can quickly access the app and add the cover they need instantly with just a couple of clicks. A policy that fits in with them, not the other way around.
