Travel insurance for volunteering
Whether it's wildlife conservation or community development projects you're interested in, finding a reliable travel insurance policy should be top priority before setting off on your trip. Having robust cover from a trusted provider is a vital step to ensuring you can enjoy your trip with peace of mind.
Am I covered for all types of volunteering?
If your volunteer work does not include working with animals, you'll be covered as standard with our policies.
We do not provide insurance if you are volunteering with animals, although cover for working at an animal refuge or sanctuary is included; however, this does not provide protection against personal accident or personal liability.
Annual multi-trip travel insurance
If you are a frequent traveller, then it could be worth considering an annual travel insurance policy. It's a great option if you are planning two or more trips in the year. Our annual policy offers the same cover levels as a single trip policy, but on a multi-trip basis (so long as each trip doesn't exceed 45 days).
Additional cover
Before you set off, you should check out our additional cover options, as there might be a number of sports and activities you'd like to try while volunteering. With 100+ sports and activities included in your policy, you could be covered for a range of activities, from bungee jumping and parasailing, to windsurfing to name a few.
Should you plan on doing any winter sports while volunteering then our winter sports policy add-on can help to provide extra cover towards these specialised sporting activities, as well as for any hired equipement.
Book your policy
Booking a travel insurance policy for volunteering abroad is nice and easy. Simply fill in the insurance quote form at the top of this page to compare cover levels. It's also possible to book via our friendly UK-based call centre - they're free to call and happy to provide any further information you might need.
