If your days of travelling alone or with friends have been replaced by adventures with your family, it’s important to know who is covered and what cover is provided before you pack your bags.
Families and our policies
World Nomads has two travel insurance plans – Standard and Explorer – in which a family is defined as two adults, 64 years old or younger at the time you buy or extend your policy. You must be travelling together for the majority of the trip. Our plans include cover for one to eight dependents.
NOTE: All travellers must be residents of your Country of Residence, so check the Policy Wording for full details of who is eligible to purchase.
Who is considered a dependent under my policy?
Our plans include cover for one to eight dependents. Under World Nomads plans a dependent is classified as:
- your financially dependent children or grandchildren, who normally reside with you and who are in full time education
- are 17 years old or younger at the time you buy or extend your policy
- are travelling with you on your trip
- are listed as covered on your Certificate of Insurance.
Please also note that one of the travelling adults on the purchased policy must be the legal guardian of the accompanying dependents. If you have a big family that you need to insure (more than eight dependents) then you’ll need to buy additional policies.
Travel insurance tip: only people named on your Certificate of Insurance are covered by your policy; however, the personal circumstances of your travelling party or close relatives may affect what you can claim.
