We get it – you want to escape the hustle and unwind under a blanket of stars. From lush Pacific Northwest forests to the endless horizons of Australia’s Outback, a camping trip offers every manner of relaxation and exploration. As exciting as planning your outdoor adventure is, traveling far from home and urban comforts also comes with risks.
World Nomads travel Insurance* plans have been designed to cover sudden and unforeseen events that can happen when camping at least 100 miles away from your home.
What’s covered for camping?
When you’re roughing it in the woods, your travel insurance plan from World Nomads has your back. World Nomads offer four plans – Standard, Explorer, Epic and Annual – each with different levels of coverage designed for the activities you plan on doing.
If you plan to camp at a high elevation, you’ll want to be sure you pick the plan that will cover you way up there. Know your maximum altitude, and then choose your plan accordingly – the maximum altitudes per plan are listed in our adventure and activity list. Also know the altitude of your highest hike or bike ride; you should factor all your adventures into your plan comparisons.
Here are some of the other things we cover for your camping trip:
- Baggage protection: has your camping gear gone missing? Our gear coverage may help with reimbursement of the cost to repair or replace damaged, lost or stolen items. Our plans also include non-insurance services like Blue Ribbon Baggage, which will track and expedite the return of your airline baggage.
- Emergency medical: camping and fresh air can be great for the body and soul but not if it ends up in an accident. We offer emergency medical expense coverage so you can get the treatment you need. It can help protect you against a mountain of medical bills if you get sick or injured.
- Evacuation: your campground may be located deep in the wilderness, far from medical assistance. Emergency evacuation coverage may be able to get you to a medical facility. Call the 24/7 Emergency Team so they can coordinate and pre-authorize your transportation arrangements.
- Trip cancellation or interruption: if your trip is cancelled, interrupted, or delayed due to an unforeseen event like an illness or injury, you may be able to recover your nonrefundable, prepaid travel expenses through our trip cancellation, trip interruption or trip delay coverage
- Adventure activities: if you’re planning on hitting the mountain biking trails or trekking to the top of craggy peaks, our plans cover 250 other sports, activities and experiences.
What’s not covered?
Some things we may not cover include:
- Any medical bills related to a pre-existing condition, unless you purchased the Epic or Explorer plan during the time-sensitive period were medically able to travel at the time of purchase.
- Unattended baggage, sporting equipment or personal items.
- Damage to gear while in use.
- Expenses that can be recovered from another source, such transport carriers or accommodation providers.
- Working or participating professionally in any activity or sport.
- Any search-and-rescue missions.
- Being under the influence of alcohol or drugs
This is not a full list of what’s covered and what’s not; please check your insurance plan documents carefully for a full list of limitations and exclusions that may apply to your specific plan. If you have questions about your coverage, please contact us for help.
