    Hello

    I hope someone can help me

    Below are 2 online insurance quotes for a 19 year old travelling to Australia on a working holiday for 8 months this September

    seems to be a massive difference

    am i missing something?

    is there any general advice someone could provide - ( i am the dad and not the young person unfortunately 😀)

    Many Thanks 👍️

    VHI would naturally be the most expensive.Medical cover with VHI is hardly enough for Australia.

    You need to ask what is the maximimum length of a trip they(or any insurer)cover.Usually it's 90 days.

    Try backpackers insurance-maybe Trailfinders in Dublin.

    Do an online search for other companies.8 months away is the cruncher.
