STA travel is a great service for people taking out a year or two to do some travelling. They advertise themselves as being for the 'independent traveller' and this sums them up tremendously. They offer cover arranged through ISIC - the world leaders in insurance for travellers.
STA have three different levels of cover insurance as they are fully aware that everybody is different and every trip is different. These three are Backpack, Standard, and Premier.
They can cover you for adventure activities aswell including skiing, snowboarding, white-water rafting, trekking at altitude, horse riding, bungee jumping, scuba-diving, abseiling and more.
The period of cover can range from 1 day up untill 24 months so there is no need to worry from that point. They offer a UK and Europe cover and a seperate worldwide cover to make things even easier for you.
for 12 months uk/europe the cost is as follows:
Backpack - 171.50
Standard - 220.00
Premier - 349.00

for 12 months worldwide
Backpack - 178.50
Standard - 344.00
Premier - 537.00
