WWOOFing involves doing physical labor on organic farms. Hence it is always advisable to get an insurance cover for yourself on your WWOOFing expeditions. A comprehensive health and accident insurance is always helpful in times of need.
Some hosts do not accept a WWOOFer without an insurance cover which is valid in their country. You have to show a proof of insurance cover along with your membership card to these hosts. Hence you should always check with the host the type of insurance he/she demands before knocking the host’s door.
