The world of travel has changed, there is no doubt about that. Travelers are still interested in discovering new places. The appeal of busy hotels and big crowds has made way for vacations that involve immersion and intimacy.
Never before have we yearned for space and privacy on our own terms as we do now, which is why vacation rentals are coming into their own. But it’s unknown territory for many, that’s why you should consider World Nomads Travel Insurance, it can help you when the unexpected happens and let you focus on the good stuff.
World Nomads offers two plans – Standard and Explorer – each providing different levels of coverage depending on your Country of Residence and what level of cover you need. You can purchase your policy as soon as you know where you’re going and what the plans are, or if it’s all too hectic before you leave home, you can do it in transit. Our policies, include coverage for:
While we don’t like to think about it, things can and do go wrong when we’re far from home, even for the most seasoned of travelers.
As with most vacation rentals, the primary renter will be expected to put down a deposit to secure the lease, travel insurance can help you keep that payment secure, and possibly recoup a refund should you be forced to cancel at the last-minute as a result of illness, or due to a natural disaster in the area.
Same goes if you are booked into a beachside rental that costs you a fortune and a day or two into a week-long stay you get a call from home to say your mother has taken ill and you need to return to your country of residence immediately.
Travel insurance tip: vacation rentals have various house rules about occupancy, minimum age requirements for the primary renter and so on. Do ensure you understand what you're agreeing to before booking to avoid potentially incurring any extra fees or losing your deposit.
Of the two plans we offer, while there are plenty of similarities, the Explorer option provides additional cover for things like Rental Vehicle Excess, Covid-related events, personal accident and missed connection.
It’s up to you to choose the policy that best suits your needs, but it is worth noting once you have booked a Standard policy you can’t upgrade it.
Travel insurance isn’t designed to cover everything – so make sure you know what you’re covered for. Some, but not all, of the events we don’t cover include:
This is only a summary of coverage and does not include the full terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of the policy.
