    Hiya

    Hoping someone can help and sorry if it's been mentioned before!
    Just wondering for the best Irish company to go with for Backpackers! I bought my flights with Trailfinders who quoted a ridiculous €470 for insurance but I'm sure you can get it cheaper if you know where to find it!
    I've tried Blue but they're not offering any quotes after June?

    Thanks in advance!
    Fiona

    Heya!!

    after all the help u gave me im glad i might be of some help to you..
    I was researching the whole travel insurance thing too and vhi offer a great backpackers bundle for just under €200

    heres the link https://www.vhi.ie/info/MainServlet?action=backpackerHome&gclid=CLSzy5Go068CFUsZ4Qode3Hxdw

    I have health insurance with VHI at the moment and they're great to deal with... I also had insurance with them abroad before and once again very helpful when needed and most importantly covered costs when I needed!!

    There might be more competitive choices out there but this might be a start for you :-D
