Whether you're an experienced mountain biker or a beginner, travel insurance can help you with any obstacles along the way.

Nothing beats heading down a mountain or practicing cross country with your lunch in your backpack and your feet pedaling you toward new landscapes. Our nomads, especially those residing in Brazil, love mountain biking, which is why this activity is on our list of covered adventure activities. Before you head off into the great outdoors, read our tips to make the most of your travel insurance.
As long as you're not doing anything reckless, like riding without a helmet or under the influence of drugs or alcohol, World Nomads provides coverage for mountain biking, including on and off road, cross country, downhill and even snow biking.
We offer three plans – Standard, Explorer, and Explorer Plus – each offering different coverage limits and sub-limits, and including different activities. In addition to mountain biking, our plans cover more than 180 adventure activities for our Brazilian nomads.
It's up to you to choose what plan has the right level of coverage to meet your travel needs and that matches your specific plans. When you get a quote, you can compare our Standard, Explorer and Explorer Plus plans side by side and choose the one that best suits your needs. You can’t upgrade your policy after the purchase, so choose carefully.
Check out your policy wording and contact customer service if you have any questions.
We cover only the occasional practice of mountain biking on your holidays: when you plan to ride a bike or mountain bike for a few days and are not using a bicycle as your main mode of transportation during your travels.
It’s not nice to think about it, but if you suffer an injury or accident on your ride, our emergency medical coverage may cover you for emergencies that require:
If you need medical treatment, it's essential that you get in touch with our Emergency Assistance team as soon as possible so we can assist you.
You might be riding in a remote area, far from medical assistance, so our policies include coverage if your condition requires you to be evacuated to a medical facility or repatriated back home. Just remember you’ll need to get approval from our Emergency Assistance team before an evacuation can take place.
Having an emergency in a foreign country can be overwhelming but buying a World Nomads policy means you’ll have access to our 24/7 Emergency Assistance team. Our Emergency Assistance team can help with a range of services in whatever part of the world you're traveling, can speak multiple languages, and they're available 365 days a year.
If your ride is canceled or interrupted due to an unforeseen event like an illness or injury, you may be able to recover your nonrefundable, prepaid, unused travel expenses.
If there's a delay of more than 12 hours in the arrival of your luggage, we can reimburse expenses for personal items such as clothing and toiletries. If you checked your bike in with your airline, and it's permanently lost or damaged by the airline, you may be entitled to a reimbursement to replace it, subject to depreciation and the limits listed in your policy.
While we can offer coverage for mountain biking, there are some things we don’t cover. These include, but are not limited to:
