So you’re travelling with tots and teens in tow? World Nomads loves nothing more than seeing our future Nomads exposed to the wonders of the world at an early age  which is why we can cover your entire brood as additions to your family plan. Be sure to list them as dependents when you buy your travel insurance. 

What does your coverage offer? 

Under the Standard and Explorer Plans, World Nomads offers coverage that’s suitable for families: 

  • Emergency medical treatment 
  • Emergency medical evacuation 
  • Trip cancellation, Trip interruption and Trip delay 
  • Baggage loss/theft and Baggage delay

What counts as a dependent? 

Dependent children are unmarried and rely on you for support, and are at the time the insurance is purchased: 

  • Under 21 years of age; or 
  • Full-time students under 25 years of age; or 
  • Mentally or physically incapable of self-support, at any age.
  • Foster children must be under your legal guardianship and reside at your address. 
  • Dependents must also be travelling on the same itinerary as you to be on the same policy. 

Are dependents covered at the same limits as adults? 

Yep – no need to worry! Travel insurance isn’t like going to restaurant and ordering kid-sized meals with smaller portions. Your children are covered up to the same limits even though they are travelling under your wing. 

Got another question? Just ask World Nomads or contact our customer service team.

Monkey Bite

While visiting the Monkey Forest in Bali, I was bitten by a monkey. After returning to the hotel, I visited a local doctor. I received the first rabies vaccination and then went to the International SOS office in Bali for an examination. There, I received a second rabies shot followed by immunoglobin shots.
