    Can someone explain to me what i'm looking for? I'm going to use Seven Corners - i've chosen $50,000 as the "medical maximum" and now i've got 3 choices, with different deductibles.

    Which one should I choose and what are the deductibles for?

    Only the documents in Yummy Jobs it says the minimum you have to have (although anything above may be desirable, such as baggage cover).
    Most companies will include travel insurance as standard, just call them to check. :)

    Last year I went with Go Travel insurance, they were really good, and cover you for working. I booked mine over the phone so I was sure they knew I would be working.

    I went through STA Travel last year and took the top insurance and with the same as Katie i was covered for work aswell. If you are getting insurance i would say it is better to get it through calling the company, thats just personal opinion.
    All the Best with finding insurance. :D

    Hi guys,

    I've gone with Insure and Go for the second year (gold policy, backpackers)
    my insurance is £57. It includes travel insurance, far more then exceeds the minimum requirements and has £0 excess! Plus i've managed to get them to agree to give anyone who orders with them a 10% discount! so woo!

    (I'm not associated with the company in any way, I don't gain anything by going with them, or by anyone else going wih them, I just did a lot of research on the insurance before I went last year and this was the cheapest, I did have to use it as well and they paid me back my money in full within 5 days!)


    Here's What to do:

    Go to their website....

    www.insureandgo.com

    Click on backpackers

    Fill in details.

    Go up to the bit where you get a quote reference.

    Then email gblyth@insureandgo.com telling her what you want, that you are going to disney and would like the 10% discount and she will go from there, probably call you back.

    And that's it!


    So, there might be better things out there but I got my insurance (including travel time after) with £0 excess, it covers for all the medical insurance requirements and also covers me for travel insurance as well in case of cancellation etc. and I paid £57.62.

    Very happy with that, but also dont forget if you're with fitness first you can get 15% off but doing it through the members website.

    There we go! :)

    P.S The only reason I'm doing this is ou of the goodness of my heart, I do not recommend them etc I'm just letting you know of my experiences. I'm just saying this so no one goes all funny on me if anything goes wrong and it's got absolutely nohing to do wih yummy jobs either. i's just me trying to save you all some money! ok?! :)

    Just a question.
    My friend is doing camp america in Florida, she has had to have injections and a medical check with the doctor. Do we need to do that for Disney?? :-\
