Nothing beats heading down a mountain or cross country with your lunch in your backpack and your feet peddling you onwards. World Nomads loves mountain biking, which is why it’s 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 stupid, like riding without a helmet or under the influence of drugs or alcohol, World Nomads offers coverage for mountain biking, including on and off road, cross country, downhill and even snow biking.
We offer two plans – Standard and Explorer – each offers different limits and sub-limits of coverage, and different included activities. In addition to mountain biking, our plans cover more than 200 adventure activities, sports, volunteer and work experiences for our U.S. nomads.
It is 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 and Explorer plans side by side and pick the one that best suits your needs. You can’t upgrade your policy after the satisfaction guarantee period, so choose carefully.
Check out your policy wording and contact customer service if you have any questions.
