It is compulsory that you take out comprehensive insurance cover. A policy that covers cancellation, personal injury, death, medical bills, repatriation expenses and evacuation costs before you travel on a Backyard Roadies tour. We advise you to check that you are covered for all the activities you will be participating in as some policies exclude ones you may want.
