Downunder Travel Insurance

For citizens of:

Downunder insurance is a great choice for Brits heading off to Australia/New Zealand on a working holiday with a short stopover in Asia. If you intend on spending 75% of your trip in Australia/New Zealand then you'll essentially get the Asia part of your trip covered without having to pay more. As so many Brits make Asia their stop on their way down under, it's worth a look.
