Hi – 26M UK starting my working holiday on 12th November. I've looked around for this topic here but I can't seem to find a clear answer for this.
What do people usually do for their travel insurance on working holidays? I heard regardless you have to register for Japan's national health insurance which covers 70% of expenses or something like that, will having just that suffice? I'm completely healthy so would just need a basic plan if I get unlucky. I'm getting quoted by travel insurers for around £500 for the year – is a private plan worth having in addition to that?
In terms of gadgets / possessions cover, I'm taking a few devices plus a desktop PC. So if I should get a private travel insurance policy to cover my health then I would add these on anyway, but has anyone taken out insurance just for these?
