When planning a cycling adventure—whether it’s scenic touring, urban exploration on an e-bike, or challenging off-road terrain—investing in travel insurance for cycling may be just as important as tightening your helmet. With plans designed to match your ride, you’ll hit the road confident.

A crash, sudden illness, or travel delays might throw off your itinerary, while stolen or damaged gear while traveling could cut your ride short. That’s where travel insurance for cycling could come in—it may help cover medical costs if you’re injured mid-ride, reimburse you for non-refundable expenses if you have to cancel for a covered reason, and assist if your essential biking equipment is stolen or damaged while traveling. Whether you’re pedaling out of state roads or venturing to far-flung trails, World Nomads helps keep your adventure on track with 24/7 non-insurance emergency assistance and coverage for more than 250 sports and activities.

Whether you’re into fantasy, renaissance, steampunk, or horror, live-action role-playing lets you step out of reality and immerse yourself in a fictional world. These adventures can even take you to exciting destinations beyond the U.S.—but wherever you go, it’s wise to be prepared for the unexpected. If you’re planning a trip, you may want to protect yourself with a travel protection plan that includes a range of travel insurance benefits and non-insurance services for live action role playing trips that may help with everything from stolen LARP gear to unexpected medical expenses.
Most game masters take steps to try to keep the environment safe, but unexpected issues can mess up even the most carefully planned LARP trips. If you lose your footing and trip, that fall to the ground will bring you back to reality quickly. Adventure travel insurance and non-insurance services designed for LARP adventures may help you bounce back quickly with support for emergencies, delays, and disruptions. With coverage that is flexible to your needs, it’s a way to travel confidently when you’re LARPing away from home.
When you’re live action role playing and engrossed in the moment as a character, you can become so consumed in your actions that you don’t pay attention to the terrain around you. Uneven ground and a twisted ankle can be scarier than a horde of monsters coming your way. Since unexpected situations can happen when LARPing, we’ve designed coverage for losses resulting from live action role playing while traveling. We also offer coverage for losses related to more than 250+ other sports, activities and experiences.
Emergency Medical Expenses
For falls that happen when LARPing
24/7 Non-Insurance Emergency Assistance

Trip Delays, Interruptions & Cancellations

All plans include adventure travel insurance coverage for LARP trips, as well as several additional non-insurance services that may support you both before and during your trip. These include delayed or lost baggage tracking and delivery, portable health records and pre-departure telehealth services.
World Nomads offers four plans for U.S. residents – Standard, Explorer, Epic and Annual – each with different levels of coverage. Even when you’re going on a LARP trip, you may want to do other fun things too, like hiking or camping. That’s totally fine, because you may be covered for more than 250+ other sports, activities and experiences when you purchase a travel protection plan that includes travel insurance coverage and non-insurance services for your LARP adventure.

If you arrive at your event, and aren’t vibing with your plot, your live action role playing travel insurance coverage won’t cover you if you want to cut your trip short and go home. Some other things that aren’t covered include:
Every LARP is different, and we encourage you to make sure an event fits your comfort level before participating. Find out ahead of time what type of story you are joining in, and the combat the event allows. Never make assumptions about safety and always ask questions related to the equipment and actions that are classified as safe. You may also want to save a copy of your plan documents in your phone and have the phone number for the 24/7 Non-insurance Emergency Assistance team easily accessible as well – just in case.

World Nomads Travel Insurance may help cover the cost of medical treatment, hospital stays, or even emergency medical evacuation if needed (subject to approval.)

Here are our most frequently asked questions about cover for Live Action Role Playing. You can also find the answers to other questions in our Helpdesk or you can ask our customer service team
Yes, LARPing is covered under both plans offered by World Nomads Travel Insurance. Live action role playing is considered a Level 1 activity and is automatically covered, but you’ll still need to list this as an activity when you purchase your travel insurance for LARP to be covered under your policy. However, you’ll need to pay an additional premium to be covered for any Level 2 and Level 3 activities like zip lining and hang gliding. If you aren’t sure if something is covered, we suggest you contact us to ask.
If your trip is cancelled, delayed, or interrupted due to an unforeseen event, you may be able to recover your unused, non-refundable, prepaid travel expenses (up to the policy limits), and this could include unused, prepaid, non-refundable tours that you paid for in advance. If you fall and get hurt while LARPing and require emergency medical assistance, emergency medical coverage could come in handy in the case of an unexpected injury. You could also be covered for unplanned situations such as lost bags or if the Canadian government issues a travel advisory for your trip destination.
Yes. If your trip has already started, World Nomads can still offer you coverage. You can buy a plan online anytime, from anywhere in the world. If you buy a plan after departing from your home province, you won’t be covered for any loss or expense related to any injury or sickness that occurs in the 48-hour period after your departure date.
Yes, some of the best LARP events are outside of Canada and World Nomads doesn’t want to limit your fun. For example, if you have travel insurance for Germany, you could have the opportunity to participate in Conquest of Mythodea. When you get a quote for travel insurance for your LARPing adventure, you’ll need to input where you’ll be travelling.
You can contact the 24/7 Emergency Assistance team and they can help direct you to nearby medical facilities. They can also translate for you if you’re travelling outside Canada and your medical team doesn’t speak English or French. Make sure you keep all documentation including doctor reports, invoices, etc. You’ll need those things if you plan to make a claim.
Yes, you could be covered for more than 250 other sports, activities and experiences. Things like archery, hiking, and camping could all be covered. When you purchase your policy, you’ll need to list all of the activities that you plan to participate in while on your trip. You won’t be able to add or remove activities after you make your purchase, so make sure you add them all at that time. If you’re participating in an activity and not sure if it’s covered, you can contact us and ask.

As featured in:
Whether you are into fantasy, renaissance, steampunk, or horror, the excitement of participating in live action role play (LARP) can be electrifying. You’re able to step away from the mundane reality and responsibilities of life, and temporarily enjoy some adventurous fun in a fictional setting.
Most game masters take steps to try to keep the environment safe, but some things can’t be avoided. If you are attacked by a crunchy, step back too far when blocking, and trip over a tree root, that fall to the ground will bring you back to reality quickly. If you have plans to participate in a LARP event on your next trip, you may want to consider a World Nomads travel insurance plan with adventure sports cover.
Trip and falls are some of the most common injuries that happen while LARPing. When you’re engrossed in the moment as a player or non-player character, you can become so consumed in your actions that you don’t pay attention to the terrain around you. Uneven ground and a twisted ankle can be scarier than the horde of monsters coming towards you. Getting hit in the eye with a spell packet is not any fun either. If you get hurt, your health insurance may not always cover you when you are traveling to destinations outside of your network or plan. However, a travel insurance plan from World Nomads could assist by helping to reimburse expenses for costs like x-rays, prescription medications, a hospital stay, or other emergency medical needs if you get hurt while LARPing.
If you are looking to explore even more sports and adventures during your travels, you can compare the adventure travel insurance cover in both the Standard and Explorer travel insurance plans that are offered by World Nomads, as we offer cover for more than 150 activities
When you get a quote, you can select your country of residence, and compare both plans side by side to see what each covers. The Explorer plan has higher limits and sub-limits of coverage, and for some countries of residence, it includes additional covered activities. Depending on your country of residence, you may need to add activities to your policy when you purchase it. Check out both plan options, because only you can decide the best travel insurance for your needs.
If you aren’t sure if something is covered, contact our customer service team and they can help explain what each policy includes.
In addition to emergency medical cover, travel insurance may help with several other unexpected situations you may encounter while you are on your trip. Depending on your country of residence, World Nomads may also offer cover for:
If you arrive at your event, and aren’t vibing with the plot of your LARP, your adventure travel insurance would not cover the cancellation of your trip. Some other things that are not covered include:

As one of the fastest growing sports in the world, more resorts are building pickleball courts to give experienced and new picklers a chance to get in on the action while they are travelling. When you’re participating in any sport, it helps to always be prepared for the unexpected. If you’re planning to play pickleball while travelling, you may want to protect your trip with World Nomads Travel Insurance with coverage for adventure sports. Our travel insurance plans for pickleball include a range of benefits that could help with everything from stolen gear to unexpected medical expenses.
While serious injuries are rare in pickleball, even the best of us have lost our balance and taken a tumble when going for an overhead slam. An unexpected injury can mess up even the most carefully planned trip, but travel insurance for pickleball may help you bounce back quickly with support for medical emergencies, trip delays, and disruptions. With coverage that is flexible to your needs, it’s a smart way to travel confidently when you’re playing pickleball outside of your home province.
Nomads tip: World Nomads Travel Insurance can also cover your travels within Canada! Your Government Health Plan is limited once you leave your province. Your travel insurance plan can protect your domestic travels outside of your home province too.

World Nomads offers two plans for Canadian residents – the Standard and Explorer – each with different levels of coverage.
In addition to playing pickleball, you’ll probably also be doing other things like kayaking or hiking. That’s totally fine, because there are more than 250+ sports, activities and experiences that could be covered when you purchase sports travel insurance. When you purchase your policy, you’ll need to list pickleball, and all of the other activities that you plan to participate in while on your trip. You won’t be able to add or remove activities after you make your purchase, so make sure you add them all at that time. Costs may vary depending on the additional activities you list.
If you are planning to participate in an activity that isn’t listed in our policy wording, you will need to contact us to determine if you will be covered.
NOMADS TIP: Get a quote and choose your plan first, then the system will prompt you to add the activities you plan to do. Make sure you list them all; you won’t be able to make changes once on your trip.

Yes, pickleball is covered under both plans offered by World Nomads Travel Insurance. Pickleball is considered a Level 1 activity and is automatically covered, but you’ll still need to list this as an activity when you purchase your travel insurance for pickleball policy. However, you’ll need to pay an additional premium to be covered for any Level 2 and Level 3 activities like ziplining and hang gliding. If you aren’t sure if something is covered, we suggest you contact us to ask.
If your trip is cancelled, delayed, or interrupted due to an unforeseen event, you may be able to recover your unused, non-refundable, prepaid travel expenses (up to the policy limits), and this could include unused, prepaid, non-refundable tours that you paid for in advance.

You could also be covered for unplanned situations such as lost bags or Canadian government travel advisories advising travellers not to travel to a destination on your itinerary.

You can contact the 24/7 Emergency Assistance team and they can help direct you to nearby medical facilities. They can also translate for you if you’re travelling outside Canada and your medical team doesn’t speak English or French. Make sure you keep all documentation including doctor reports, invoices, etc. You’ll need those things if you plan to make a claim.
Yes, you could be covered for more than 250 other sports, activities and experiences. Things like swimming, hiking, and biking could all be covered. When you purchase your policy, you’ll need to list all of the activities that you plan to participate in while on your trip.

If your checked-in bags are delayed more than 12 hours on the way to your destination, your plan could reimburse you for the cost of (up to the policy limits) essential items like toiletries and a change of clothes until you and your bag are reunited.
