We get it – you want to escape from the hustle and unwind under a blanket of stars. From lush northern European forests to the endless horizons of Australia’s Outback, a camping trip offers every manner of revival. As exciting as planning your outdoor adventure is, travelling far from home and urban comforts also comes with risks.
World Nomads Travel Insurance Standard and Explorer plans have been designed to cover sudden and unforeseen events that can happen when camping, such as when your hiking boots go missing or you slip and fall on the trails.
What’s covered for camping?
When you’re roughing it in the woods, your travel insurance plan should get your back. World Nomads provides coverage for:
- Baggage protection: have your tent, sleeping bag or camping chairs gone missing? Our gear coverage may help with replacing or reimbursing belongings.
- Emergency medical: camping and fresh air can be great for the body and soul but not if you get into an accident. Emergency medical coverage can help protect you against a mountain of medical bills if you get sick or injured. To be eligible for the maximum benefit under your travel insurance policy, you must be covered under your Government Health Insurance Plan (GHIP) for the full duration of your trip.
- Emergency ambulance transportation: your campground may be deep in the wilderness far from any type of hospital or medical help. Our coverage provides for the cost of local ground ambulance services (or local taxi fare if ambulances aren’t available.) Subject to pre-authorization from the 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team, our plans also cover the cost of an air ambulance to transport you to the nearest qualified medical service provider.
- Trip cancellation: an emergency can prevent you from going on your trip. With this benefit, you can get reimbursed for your non-refundable, pre-paid travel expenses such as your accommodations and flights if you cancel your trip for a covered reason.
- Adventure activities: if you’re planning on hitting the mountain biking trails or trekking to the top of craggy peaks, our plans can cover more than 150 adventure sports and activities, which you can read more about in our Help Center article. An additional premium may apply for certain adventure sports, activities, volunteer and work experiences.
What’s not covered?
Some things we may not cover include:
- Any pre-existing medical conditions, as defined in your policy.
- Expenses that can be recovered from another source, such transport carriers or accommodation providers.
- Unattended baggage or personal items.
- Working or participating professionally in any activity or sport.
- Any search-and-rescue missions.
- Misuse of alcohol or drugs to the extent that it risks your health or impairs your faculties.
This is only a summary of coverage and does not include the full terms and conditions of the policy. It is important you read and understand your policy as it contains benefits, conditions, exclusions and pre-existing condition exclusions. If you do not understand your coverage, or if you have questions about your coverage, just ask us.
