Travelex

Travelex is a long-established global travel insurer with backpacker-specific policies covering 190+ countries, emergency medical expenses up to $1 million, and emergency evacuation. They're one of the largest international travel insurers and have strong brand recognition, with straightforward policies and reliable claims handling across most major destinations where WHV holders go.

Travelex is a solid mainstream choice if you want an established, recognized brand with proven track record managing large claim volumes. They work well for straightforward working holidays in popular destinations (Australia, Canada, UK, Europe), though you'll find their rates aren't necessarily the cheapest compared to niche operators, and some specialized coverage (extreme activities) requires add-ons.
