You’ve been buzzing about your trip to Bali for weeks. Cozzies and sunscreen are packed, and your boarding pass is in-hand. But just as you’re about to board, your flight is delayed because there’s a volcanic ash cloud shrouding the island. While trip delays like these are a buzz kill, travel insurance with World Nomads may help ease the stress.
Whether it’s your flight or your cruise, there’s more than one way to be caught off guard by a trip delay when you’re on holiday. If your trip gets delayed by the minimum time listed in your policy, you may be covered for accommodation, meals, local transportation, and other basic expenses that you’ve had to incur as a result of the trip delay.
In order to qualify for this benefit, your travels must have been delayed by a reason listed as covered under the policy.
Travel insurance tip: Be sure to keep a copy of all of your receipts so that you can submit them with your claim. If the travel delay happened on commercial transportation, you’ll need to file a claim with your carrier before asking for reimbursement under your travel insurance.
A World Nomads travel insurance policy also provides access to the 24/7 Emergency Assistance team, ready to help if you need to claim.
