Hitchhike > Travel Insurance

Last updated on 7th December 2010

Worldwide Travel Insurance is provided to every participant of our hitchhiking challenges. This insurance may not be suitable for you and so you are strongly advised to thoroughly read through the policy details and to take out extra cover where necessary.

Your insurance lasts for 7 days starting at 00:00:00 on the start date of your challenge and finishing at 23:59:59 6 days later. If you are still travelling after this time then you are no longer covered on this insurance policy and you should arrange extra cover at your own expense.

You must not travel to Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Israel - West Bank and Gaza Strip areas only, Pakistan (other than Punjab and Sind provinces) and Somalia as the worldwide travel insurance provided excludes travel to these places.

The standard Choose a Challenge policy is available for download: Worldwide Travel insurance.
