Outbacker Insurance
Tap a star to rate
Outbacker Insurance built its business insuring gap-year travelers and backpackers heading to Australia and beyond. Their standard plan covers 100+ sports and activities (alpine mountain biking, caving, rock climbing, skiing), so most active backpackers won't need to buy extras. If you're planning serious expeditions or technical mountaineering, optional extreme sports riders round out your cover.
Outbacker appeals to younger, budget-conscious travelers and anyone taking a gap year who wants a familiar, respected name. Pricing is competitive for ages 18–35, and the brand reputation for insuring backpackers means their claims team understands your trip's reality, long layovers, multiple countries, unpredictable itineraries.
