Insurance and Safety

Travel Insurance and Safety

Get it. Apart from that, when you do, make sure you; Check that you are covered for activities you may want to do e.g. skiing, skydiving, rock-climbing etc. Some premiums you may have to pay extra. Check how much cover you get for medical care. It should be at least 5 million. Also check that your excess is not over £150. Do read all the small print before you go away and clarify anything you are unsure of with your provider. Check that your insurance does cover you for the countries you are visiting. If the FCO advises against all travel to a certain area, you may not be covered. Take a copy of your insurance and also keep a record of the policy number and the number to call in your notepad, in case you do lose the originals. If you are travelling in the EU, the EHIC card has now replaced the E111. Find out more at The Department of Health. You may still want to take out further insurance though, as the EHIC only provides a reduced cost (or sometimes free) medical care. When you are away, a useful (and could prove essential) thing to do is note down the emergency claims number in your phone and notebook so it's easily available and do read through the small print to check what you need to do should you have to call.

Ethical Morals

Work Travel Volunteer pledges to fund small overseas development projects to help them grow. We too are a small grassroots organisation (big is NOT always better!) but we're passionate about overseas sustainable development and want to give back as much as we get out of Work Travel Volunteer. Visit our sustainable project page to find out more and to see how you can contribute. We also want to highlight key ecotourism issues that are going on at present and how you, as a traveller, whether you are visiting for 1 day, 1 week or two years, can help. Visit our tourism campaigns page to find out more and how you can help.
