True Traveller

A backpacker policy, with training added on purpose.

For UK and European residents. Muay Thai training is not in the standard activity pack.

True Traveller insures UK and European residents. If you live somewhere else, use the Genki page.

What you are arranging.

A backpacker travel policy from 2 days up to 18 months, or up to 2 years if the trip includes the USA and Canada. No return ticket is required on the product they describe. Medical and repatriation is £10 million for UK policyholders and €10 million for European policyholders. Excess depends on the level you choose, so it is not listed here. Baggage is optional, not included.

Where Muay Thai sits.

Traveller Pack

Included. Their standard list. This is not the Muay Thai line.

Adventure Pack

This is the one that lists Boxing/Muay Thai Boxing, training only. Add it, and check it is printed on the validation certificate.

Extreme Pack and Ultimate Pack

Higher activity packs for other sports. They do not change the training-only wording by themselves.

Pads are not the same thing as sparring, and sparring is not the same thing as a fight. Their public line says training only. Ask them about the sessions you will actually do.

Already away, or away for longer.

They advertise cover if you have already started travelling, and they say a policy can be extended while you are away. Both rules live on their site. Confirm them while you quote.

If a session is not on the activity list, ask True Traveller before you train. A written yes belongs on the certificate.

Three links, all affiliate links.

Each of these is an affiliate link and may earn us a commission.

What we will not do.

  • We will not pass our commission to you as a discount.
  • We will not take payment for the policy.
  • We will not tell you that you are covered. You buy it yourself, and you read the certificate.

True Traveller says the policy is insured by Inter Partner Assistance S.A., part of the AXA group. The True Traveller Limited is authorised and regulated by the FCA, number 756107.

Questions on this page.

Who can buy True Traveller?

True Traveller insures UK and European residents. If you live somewhere else, use the Genki page.

Is Muay Thai on the standard activity pack?

No. Boxing/Muay Thai Boxing (training only) is on the Adventure Pack, not the Traveller Pack. Add the Adventure Pack while you quote, and check that it is printed on the validation certificate.

Does training only include sparring?

Their public line says training only. Pads are not the same thing as sparring, and sparring is not the same thing as a fight. Ask True Traveller about the sessions you will actually do. A written yes belongs on the certificate.

Is the True Traveller link an affiliate link?

Yes. Khao Lak Muay Thai may earn a commission if you buy. You pay True Traveller's price. The gym cannot discount the policy or take payment for it.
