Has anyone else tried the ones reviewed? http://www.ibackpack.co.uk Budget and insurance should never be used in the same sentence. If you buy an el-strippo package, you get a sense of false security and/or a company who will give you nasty surprises or a hassle in paying. In the worst case scenario, depending on the regulations and enforcement where you buy it, the company might have financial problems as well. Some companies even consider hiking to be a "dangerous activity!" My personal favourite is the company that refused to cover a Canadian's medical bills and medivac after the Bali bombing because it was an "act of war." They should be ashamed - but then, we ARE talking about insurance, right? Ashamed and insurance also don't generally fit in the same sentence. IMHO, you're either better off self-insuring (ie taking the chance and KNOWING that you're on your own if anything goes sour) or buying a decent package including repatriation insurance, etc. Avoid WorldCare. |
