Are you planning a trip abroad and looking for some travel and health insurance?
If so, then there’s one customer-friendly and clued-up travel insurance provider that’s well worth taking a look at.
It’s called World Nomads and it operates almost entirely online.
World Nomads was launched in 2002 to provide global travel insurance available online 24/7 for people from over 150 countries. It provides high levels of medical and evacuation cover, 24-hour emergency assistance as well as cover for a wide range of adventure activities.
Their insurance is underwritten by established, secure, specialist travel insurance companies such as Lloyd’s, Mondial Assistance, IHI Bupa International and Millstream Underwriting.
World Nomads Offers You A High Degree of Flexibility
A big plus with World Nomads travel insurance is that you can start and finish your trip in any country. You can also purchase a World Nomads policy even if you’ve already begun your trip. And you can also extend your policy later on into your trip.
World Nomads Handles Everything Online
But the best thing is that, unlike many other insurance companies, World Nomads understand that we’re now living firmly in the Internet age. Everything is handled online from obtaining a quote and purchasing a policy to the claims procedure.
This has the advantage of keeping costs down and keeps administration and paperwork to a minimum – which translates into lower premiums. No letters to write, no documents to be sent by post or photocopies necessary. World Nomads keeps the whole process very simple – as it should be.
I took out a World Nomads policy myself in 2008/2009 when I went travelling in Europe and Asia. I made a couple of claims for medical bills, nothing serious, but they were dealt with speedily and without fuss. One of the great things about World Nomads is that you can submit your claim entirely online.
You just need to scan the documents relating to your claim – eg doctor’s receipts or police report in the case of loss or theft, and then upload it to World Nomads via the dashboard of your World Nomads account. You can track the status and processing of your claim online at any time. This is a really useful feature when you’re travelling.
If you are insuring expensive electronic items such as laptops, iPod or mobile phone, it’s advisable to retain your receipt of purchase so you can scan this to send to World Nomads in the event of having to make a claim. Better still, create scans of the receipts and store them online before you begin your trip.
You can make a claim whilst you are away travelling or wait until you get home, as you wish. Note that in common with most other insurers, World Nomads does NOT cover pre-existing medical conditions. You can purchase a World Nomads policy using credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard and Amex (the precise cards accepted vary from country to country).
I found World Nomads service excellent, well affordable and I was very satisfied. I’ll definitely use them again when I next go travelling.
World Nomads Also Has a Social Conscience
World Nomads believes we should give something back to the communities we visit. With this in mind World Nomads.com created Footprints, an online travel philanthropy program that gives customers the option to make a micro-donation if they wish to a community development project when they purchase a policy.
Footprints has now raised over $650,000, from over 225,000 donations, and has funded 37 projects across the globe via partners such as Oxfam, Save the Children and Water Aid.
