Eldest is off with to Borneo with World Challenge for a month.  World Challenge provide their own insurance for the trip but recommend your own policy should she not be able to travel, personal money covered etc.

When entering Borneo as a the country of destination into any insurance database it says this destination doesn't exist?  Does the country go by another name I'm unaware of?

Not sure if this helps but might be a start.

Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei each have part of Borneo. Indonesia's region is called "Kalimantan" (although Indonesians use this word for the whole island). Malaysia's region of Borneo is called East Malaysia or Malaysian Borneo. The independent nation of Brunei is a small part of the island

I think that's the issue, three countries have a piece of the island and Borneo isn't a country in itself

Surely you just enter whichever of Malaysia, Indonesia and/or Brunei is being visited.

they are hoping about the island with internal flights so it's not as clear cut as that

What is the question you need to answer? Is it not something like "list below all the countries you will visit during your trip"?

I need cancelation insurance cover on a £5k trip through World Challenge as their policy covers the actual trip itself to Borneo should anything happen.  Also as the lead passenger is under 18 what I thought would be a simple few clicks is becoming a computer say no exercise
