Tips for the Guide and Crew

We recommend that your travel insurance cover the following:

• Trip & flight cancellation and interruption coverage
• Medical coverage - including coverage for emergency evacuation up to $200,000 USD
• Baggage loss protection

NOTE: Your cancellation coverage will likely cover situations where a medical issue before (yours or your travel partner’s) or a death in the family prevents you from traveling. Ask before you purchase. 

What you actually book is up to you. If you are from the United States some policies will be secondary coverage to your existing medical insurance. World Nomad functions this way but it lowers the policy premium considerably. 

In June of 2019 an American couple bought a 15-day policy from World Nomad for $183 total. This included the following (secondary) medical coverage:

Medical Expense/Emergency Evacuation:
Emergency Accident or Sickness Medical Expense........ $100,000
Emergency Evacuation or Repatriation of Remains......... $300,000
Emergency Dental Treatment........................................... $750
Hospital Advancement....................................................... $500
