So you’re taking the kids this time? 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 kids or grandkids as dependents on your family policy. We’ll cover up to seven of your kids if you’re brave enough to take them all!

Why should I get family travel insurance?

Besides bickering about who gets the window seat or get the last scoop of ice cream, you may run into a bump or two when traveling with your family. No matter the ages of your crew, travel insurance to cover the whole family may be a good idea.  

Even under adult supervision, children can experience mishaps that can throw a wrench into your plans or require medical attention. 

It’s also a good idea to have a contingency plan in case an emergency happens to the caregiver, leaving a child unattended. World Nomads plans can cover transport of your minor children back home, accompanied by an attendant if necessary, if an adult is hospitalized for at least seven days or passes away during the trip.

How can World Nomads Travel Insurance help me and my family?

World Nomads offers simple and flexible travel insurance, designed for travelers by travelers, to help you travel confidently on your next family vacation. Both our Standard and Explorer plans include coverage for:

You can also access safety information and travel guides and videos to help you plan your trip.

Who is covered under a family travel insurance policy?

Parents plus their dependent children, as long as at least one of the traveling adults is a legal guardian of the dependent kids, and you all reside in the same U.S. state.

When you get a quote, be sure to list all dependents who will be traveling with you on the policy to ensure coverage for your whole family.

What is a dependent?

For travel insurance purposes, dependent children are:

  • 25 years old and under when you buy the policy
  • U.S. residents
  • unmarried
  • traveling with you on the same itinerary
  • reside in the same state as you.

If your kids don’t meet any of the above requirements, you can purchase single policies for each traveler who resides in a different state.

Are dependents covered up to the same policy limits?

Yep! Your kids are covered up to the same limits even though they are traveling as dependents. The benefit limits shown on the family policy are the maximum amount payable per person.

For example, if you buy the Explorer plan, your emergency medical coverage is $100,000 per person and dental coverage is $750 per person, up to nine people (two adults and seven dependents).

What’s not covered by family travel insurance?

Read your policy carefully as there are some exclusions including:

  • If you change your mind (or get in a fight with your loved ones!) you are not covered for cancelation or other expenses incurred.
  • Non-emergency treatment that can wait until you return home (it's not health insurance, it's for travel emergencies).
  • Stolen, lost or damaged personal belongings that were left unattended.
  • Pre-existing medical conditions, unless expressly stated in your policy wording.
  • Participation in a sport or activity not listed in the covered activities list or agreed by World Nomads.

This is not a full list of what is and isn’t covered, so please check your policy for a full list of terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions that may apply to your specific plan. Any example scenarios provided above are not a guarantee of coverage. All claims are subject to review, require documentation and are considered individually.

A True Claims Story

My wife fell in our house and broke her right kneecap. She had to have surgery and the doctor says she has to stay off her right leg for 8 weeks. I had to cancel my trip to Israel because I have to stay in the house and be her caregiver.
