Play with fire? No thanks. Wherever we’re travelling, we always make sure we’ve got current travel insurance. Why take the risk?

If it’s yet another item waiting on your pre-depature ‘to do’ list, perhaps we can make a recommendation: World Nomads.

We’ve stopped looking at other travel insurance providers: Their website is just too clean and squeaky to bother with a more complicated competitor. Buying a policy online is very quick.

Our experience with World Nomads so far

• Claiming: You can begin any claims online but must mail the hard copy receipts, so you need to make a good copy of the originals. Different underwriters are used depending on the situation.
• In one case, our hard copy documents never arrived, so we emailed a scan of our receipts. They accepted this – no quibbles – and reimbursed us within 1 day.
• Reimbursement: They’ll either mail you a cheque or credit your credit card.
• Extension: If your travel plans change and you decide to stay longer, you can extend your policy online.

In sum, a quick and easy process and a service we trust.

Two thumbs up.
