Sun, sandy beaches and azure blue waters to enjoy – the Caribbean is an island paradise just waiting to be experienced! Whether you’re going on an island cruise, visiting one of 22 UNESCO heritage sites or hitting up local markets for a bite of famous jerk chicken, consider our tips on traveling in the Caribbean to get the most out of your trip.
What’s covered when traveling in the Caribbean
With World Nomads, you can buy travel insurance when you book your trip from home or while you're already traveling around the many islands of the Caribbean. All our plans offer cover (up to the benefit limits) for:
- Overseas emergency medical
- Medical evacuation and repatriation
- Trip cancellation
- Stolen or delayed baggage
- Cover for some Coronavirus-related events.
Make sure that you’ve selected the right travel insurance plan for your specific needs. World Nomads has two levels of cover - the Standard Plan and Explorer Plan - that offer different benefits, limits and sub-limits so it’s best to compare them to see which one suits your travel needs.
You can get a quote, make a claim, or extend your policy instantly online, even while traveling.
Five top things to be aware of when traveling in the Caribbean
- Severe Weather
Hurricanes and tropical storms are among the biggest threats of your trip turning upside down. If your flight or cruise has been cancelled, or your hotel is unable to accept visitors, you may qualify for trip cancellation or interruption benefits, depending your Country of Residence.
Traveler tip: timing is key: You need to have bought your travel insurance plan before the storm was announced on TV or through major news sites and government sites. You also won’t be eligible for coverage if you cancel because of a few knocked-down trees, or the forecast is cloudy and gray.
Stay up to date with the latest travel alerts and warnings for the Caribbean here.
- Street Crime
Street crime and petty theft, such as pickpocketing and mugging, are unfortunate realities in the Caribbean. Should that happen to you, get to safety first and go to the local authorities to report the incident (don’t forget to get a copy of the report, which you’ll need if you make a claim).
Our 24/7 Emergency Assistance team can provide 24/7 365 days assistance when you are in a medical crisis, such as helping to locate health care facilities, providing a medical transfer to a hospital or repatriation to your home country where necessary, and getting in touch with family members in case of an emergency.
If your personal belongings get swiped, you may be able to make a claim for replacement or reimbursement of your stolen items, up to a per item and total maximum limit. Terms and conditions apply, so be sure to check your policy wording.
Traveler tip: if you forgot to buy travel insurance before you left home, you can purchase while you’re travelling (a waiting period may apply for some benefits).
- Adventure awaits!
The Caribbean feels like a non-stop adventure, from snorkelling in crystal-clear water and trekking amid cloud forests, to swimming under cascading waterfalls. The great news is that our travel insurance policies offer coverage for more than 150 activities, experiences and sports including:
- Scuba diving and snorkelling
- Sailing
- Horse riding
- Hiking
Depending on your travel plans and Country of Residence, you may need to upgrade your policy to be covered for the activities you will be doing. If you’re unsure whether the activity you want to do is covered, just contact us.
Keep in mind that certain adventures may also have special conditions and exclusions which, if you don’t comply, could affect your coverage. These could be getting certification for your activity, or booking the excursion with a qualified, licensed operator and abiding by safety practices, whether or not or they’re a part of the local law.
- Medical Emergencies
Surfing accidents, sunburn and dehydration, food poisoning, or in the worst case scenario an act of violence. Major and minor occurrences can happen in the Caribbean, which is why our plans cover emergency medical expenses if you fall ill, get into an accident or get hurt on your trip. If you experience a medical emergency whilst on holiday in the Caribbean, be sure to contact our 24/7 Emergency Assistance team, who will need to approve your surgical procedures, medical treatment, or evacuation, otherwise your coverage may be reduced or impacted.
Traveler tip: be sure to get reports, documentation and receipts if you need medical care, as you will need these to support your claim.
- Passports and Visas
Depending on your Country of Residence you may not need a Visa to travel in the Caribbean. Keep in mind that the Caribbean is made up of 13 countries, each of which have their own rules and regulations. Be sure to check the requirements before you arrive.
Keep your passport safe by locking it in a hotel or hostel safe and avoid carrying it around. It’s also wise to leave a copy with someone you trust back home, as well as a digitally secure copy of your passports and Visas.
If your passport is stolen, our policies may help cover some of the extra costs while you arrange an emergency replacement passport. Be sure to check the policy wording for coverage conditions.
Note: all travel insurance plans are different, and cover will vary, depending on what's happened, your Country of Residence, the plan you choose and any optional extras or upgrades you add.
What’s not covered?
Travel insurance isn’t designed to cover everything – so make sure you know what you’re covered for. Some of the events we don’t cover include:
- Pre-existing medical conditions: see the policy wording for details.
- Activities and sports: participation in a sport or activity not listed in the policy wording, or one that's offered by World Nomads, but you haven't paid the required additional premium or requirement.
- Not following doctor’s orders: disobeying your treating doctor’s directions and/or those of our Emergency Assistance Team.
- Leaving valuables unattended: stolen, lost or damaged personal belongings that were left unguarded.
- Recovering expenses: expenses you have not made every reasonable attempt to recover from the carrier, accommodation provider, booking or travel agents, any compensation scheme, or other source.
- Not following travel advice: if you travel against medical advice or neglect to adhere to government ‘Do Not Travel’ warnings issued prior to departure.

Portugal boasts endless opportunities to explore culture, bustling cities, beaches, wine regions, history, and culinary experiences.

What's covered for travel to Portugal?
Delayed, lost or stolen baggage coverage
It’s always a worry when you fly internationally that your bags might not arrive when you do. The same is true if your baggage, sporting gear or personal items are stolen while you’re on vacation. If while in the Algarve, your golf clubs are stolen during a leisurely lunch, your policy may cover this loss.
World Nomads may cover (up to the policy limits) the loss, theft or damage to your baggage or personal belongings depending on your specific situation. Here are more details:
- Stolen or damaged luggage: As soon as you realize your bags or possessions have been damaged, lost, stolen or misdirected, file a report with your airline carrier, your tour operator, a hotel or restaurant manager, or the local authorities. You will be asked to provide this documentation when filing your claim. Generally, travel insurance won’t cover events where your baggage or personal items are left unattended. For instance, if you left your backpack unsupervised in the hotel bar, travel insurance may not cover this loss.
- Delayed baggage: Your World Nomads policy may provide cover if your bags were lost in transit to Portugal. The first thing to do is file a report with your airline, and then keep your paperwork organized so you will have this documentation to file a claim. Your baggage delay benefits may provide reimbursement for a change of clothes and some personal care items until you are reunited with your luggage. Waiting periods may apply and the cover available depends on your country of residence.
Your policy may also protect your personal belongings while on vacation. While traveling, to reduce the risk of theft, keep your valuables close. It’s a good idea to store travel documents, cash and credit cards in a money belt or cross-body bag at all times. Although Portugal is a safe European country, petty theft is more likely to occur in busy tourist spots in Lisbon and Porto. Don’t put valuables in your back pockets. Also, when traveling, keep receipts for all purchases.
Overseas emergency medical expenses
When traveling to Portugal, consider having travel insurance that can cover overseas emerency medical expenses, as your domestic health insurance is unlikely to be accepted abroad. If you become ill or injured while traveling in Portugal, without the right cover you need for emergency medical expenses, you’ll be responsible for paying any out-of-pocket costs for medical care, dental care, or in the worst-case, transport back to your home country.
You could twist your ankle on a cobblestone street during a walking tour or suffer a concussion while riding a bike in Southern Portugal, so having a policy with cover for overseas emergency medical expenses could be helpful for unexpected events that can happen.
Cover for some COVID-19 related events
Depending on your Country of Residence and the travel insurance plan you choose, you may have access to Coronavirus (COVID-19) coverage for certain events. To find out what cover applies to you, select your Country of Residence and read our What’s Covered for Coronavirus article which has all of the details, including benefit limits, terms, conditions and exclusions.
24/7 Emergency Assistance Team
Handling a medical emergency is unsettling. The 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team may help you to identify appropriate medical care, act as a liaison with medical providers, and assist with arrangements including upfront payment of medical care if deemed necessary.
Portugal is a melting pot of cultures, and you may not understand the local language. Just call the 24/7 assistance team to help with translation services in an emergency.
Cover for activities and sports when in Portugal
If you plan to surf on Portugal’s west coast in Nazare, or go zip-lining in Ribeira da Salga, World Nomads offers travel insurance coverage for 150+ activities and sports.
Read your policy carefully to ensure your chosen activities are listed and covered. Contact us if you need help or have any questions.

Essential Travel Insurance Tips - South America
Stunning South America is where you can find some of the world’s oldest treasures, including the remnants of the ancient Incan empire in Peru, and the Aztec and Mayan empires from Mexico.
You might be taking a road trip from north to south from Laredo, Mexico to Buenos Aires, Argentina, a cool 7,244 mi (11.658 km), exploring the whole continent slowly, or enjoying a short break a short break in Argentina, Peru or Brazil. Wherever you visit, you’ll be with lasting memories of beautiful beaches, ancient cultures and vast landscapes.
While traveling through South America, it’s a smart move to consider travel insurance as the safety net that helps when things don’t go to plan, with a 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team available and travel insurance benefits.
Travel Insurance can offer cover for:
What’s covered?
When traveling through South America, World Nomads offers two travel insurance plans, the Standard Plan and the Explorer Plan.
Both plans offer cover for things such as lost baggage and emergency medical evacuation, however, the Explorer Plan offers higher benefit limits and cover for a wider range of activities. If you know you’re planning to tackle some adventure sports, check our list of activities to decide which travel insurance policy best suits your needs.
South America is great for travelers seeking adventure, but if you’re planning to go white-water rafting on the Mendoza River or glacier walking on the Perito Moreno Glacier, and an accident happens, travel insurance could help with reimbursement of medical expenses or the cost of evacuation should a physician advise it’s necessary.
Whenever you leave home to travel overseas there are risks – it’s important to remember travel insurance isn’t designed to cover everything so you should take the time to understand what your policy covers you for.

What should I look out for when traveling to South America?
Getting away from the ‘gringo trail’ (the tourist hotspots) and discovering a more authentic South America will make for holiday memories that stay with you long after you return State-side. Whether you visit Chile’s Marble Caves, explore Lamas Castle in Peru, or take in the stunning Hill of Seven Colors in Purmamarca, (locally called the Hill of Seven Skirts), South America has an array of experiences for the adventurous traveler.
However getting away from the bright lights can also be risky as armed robbery is a possibility in some South American countries. Always stick to well-lit areas at night and avoid traveling alone. But if the unthinkable happens, your life and your safety is paramount so don’t try to save your wallet if it means risking your life. Your things can be replaced, but you can’t.
- Cover for activities and sports when in South America: Hiking to Choquequirao through the cloud forest above the Apurimac River is a great way to explore Incan civilisations, but you’ll need to know the height of your hiking trail to make sure you’re covered by the right plan – check the plan details before you buy to make sure you’ve the cover you need. It’s advisable that you plan the sports and activities that you’re doing and then check the list of covered activities to see if you need the Standard Plan or the Explorer Plan.
- Access to our 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team around the clock: World Nomads travelers have access to 24/7 Emergency Assistance. If something goes wrong and you need help, contact our team. They can help get you find local medical facilities if needed, provide local consular details and information and in the worst-case scenario, help get you home if you’re seriously injured or ill and need to be repatriated. When you call (free from anywhere in the world), make sure you have your policy number and a contact number for where you are so we can help.
- Overseas medical insurance and cover for Coronavirus-related events: There’s no denying that the way we travel has changed following the impact of coronavirus. Depending on your Country of Residence and the travel insurance plan you choose, you may also have access to Coronavirus (COVID-19) coverage for certain events. Some of our plans offer:
- Emergency medical cover, evacuation and/or repatriation if you’re diagnosed with COVID-19 while overseas;
- Cover for some additional Coronavirus-related events such as cancellation following a diagnosis to assist our travelers on the Explorer Plan.
To find out what cover applies to you, read our What’s Covered for Coronavirus article which has some of the details, including benefit limits, conditions and exclusions.
- Lost, stolen or delayed baggage cover: Overseas travel can bring all kinds of unexpected surprises and traveling to South America is no different – the sheer deliciousness of a street vendor’s pao de queijo (cheese bread), the kindness of a helpful stranger, the beauty of a beach sunrise. These are the moments you will remember. But it’s important to be prepared for everything – the theft of your wallet and passport while you sleep, your rental car being damaged or stolen while you hike an Incan trail, or the garden variety luggage being lost by your airline carrier. World Nomads travel insurance offers cover for many of life’s unexpected and unwelcome surprises.
Travel insurance tip
If something is stolen, make sure you report it as soon as possible after you’ve discovered the theft and as you buy items keep receipts of your purchases as proof of purchase in case you need to make a claim in the future.
What’s not covered?
Understanding what’s not covered is just as important as knowing what your insurance does cover you for. Things that won’t be covered by travel insurance include:
- Gear that was stolen from an unattended car (even if it was locked)
- Medical evacuation or repatriation for any incidents related to drug and alcohol abuse, or that is not pre-authorized by a physician
- Medical costs related to a pre-existing condition
- Not having visas or passports issued on time or properly fulfilling the entry requirements of your destination.
- Leaving your gear behind, or not keeping an eye on your things and they get stolen.
- Business equipment.
If you’ve any questions, or are unsure if something is covered, please contact us for more information.

Surfing beaches, ancient spirituality and misty mountains

As featured in:
Bali is renowned for its surf scene, spiritual vibe, and mouth-watering food, so it’s easy to see why it’s one of Indonesia’s most popular islands. Whether it's covering medical emergencies, lost luggage, or unexpected cancellations, travel insurance can help protect you when embarking on your Bali escapade.
- What’s covered?
- Travel insurance essentials for your Bali holiday
- What’s not covered?
- Bali travel insurance and safety tips
- Are you looking for more travel inspiration for Bali?
With the right travel insurance coverage, you can immerse yourself fully in Bali's beauty, knowing you're prepared for any unexpected twists and turns along the way.
What’s covered?
With World Nomads, you can buy travel insurance when you book your trip from home or while you're already traveling. Both of our travel insurance policies – the Standard Plan and Explorer Plan - offer cover (up to the benefit limits) for:- Overseas emergency medical
- Medical evacuation and repatriation
- Trip cancellation
- Stolen or delayed baggage
- Cover for some Coronavirus-related events.
Make sure you select the right travel insurance plan for your needs. Each of our policies offers different benefits, limits and sub-limits, so it’s best to compare them to see which one suits the type of trip you’re planning. With World Nomads you can get a quote, make a claim, or extend your policy instantly online, even while traveling.
Note: all travel insurance plans are different, and cover will vary, depending on what's happened, your Country of Residence, the plan you choose and any options or upgrades you buy.
Travel insurance essentials for your Bali holiday
Bali is packed with tropical and cultural experiences, but there are some things you need to consider before immersing yourself in the Balinese culture.
Natural disasters, like severe weather, floods, landslides, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and earthquakes can regularly occur; there is an ongoing risk of terror attacks; and the standard of medical facilities is often lower than that of other countries.
Depending on the policy you choose and your Country of Residence, World Nomads travel insurance may cover you (up to the policy limits) for the following:
Trip cancellation cover
If you or anyone in your party gets sick or injured and you need to cancel your holiday plans, we may cover the non-refundable travel expenses. Please note that the traveler must have already been issued a traveler’s Certificate of Insurance from World Nomads to have cancelation coverage available to them.
Activities coverage
We cover more than 150 activities, sports and experiences including trekking, rafting or surfing, which are just some of the activities tourists seek out in Bali. But we don’t cover everything. Many activities also have specific terms and conditions, limitations and exclusions you should read up on. An upgrade for certain sports may be required. Check your policy for details.
Lost, stolen or delayed baggage cover
If your luggage gets damaged or stolen en route to Bali or during your travels, you may be able to claim the unexpected costs incurred as a result. And if your luggage is delayed for more than 24 hours, you may be entitled to replacement costs for your essential clothing and toiletries. It’s important to read your policy wording carefully.
Natural disasters and other unforeseen events
If your island time is thrown into chaos by a volcanic eruption, or you’re involved in a scooter accident, you can make a claim. If a volcano wreaks havoc with flight schedules, we understand that you may want to cancel your trip rather than vacation in an ash-affected area. If you're already in Bali, we may cover your exit. The use of scooters/mopeds comes with a caveat – you must have the appropriate licenses and add it as an activity when you buy your policy.
Overseas medical emergencies
If you come down with Bali Belly after drinking contaminated food or water or are unfortunate enough to injure yourself in the surf, your policy may cover you for medical expenses. If required, you can get transported to a medical facility suited for your care, subject to approval from the 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team. Limits apply.
What’s not covered?
Travel insurance is not designed to cover everything. Some things World Nomads don’t cover include:
- Pre-existing medical conditions
- Traveling to, planning to travel to, or choosing to remain in a country or region that is subject to a ‘Do Not Travel’ warning.
- Participation in a sport or activity not listed in the policy wording or one that's covered, but you haven't paid the required additional premium.
- Costs arising from your refusal to be repatriated once you are declared medically unfit to continue a trip but are fit for repatriation.
- The policy excess per person per insured event where applicable (check the ‘Summary of Benefits’ in your policy wording).
- Loss or damage to luggage due to age, wear and tear, or loss of value. Damage to sporting equipment caused while in use. Terms and conditions apply. Depending on your country of residency and the plan you have selected, if an item is listed as a specified item when you purchase a policy and where an additional premium is paid, wear tear and depreciation is not considered in the event of a claim.
Bali travel insurance and safety tips
While Bali is generally safe, if you’re venturing there for the first time, it’s handy to be well-versed on how to traverse the island safely.
Safety
- Be mindful of traffic when crossing streets – Bali’s traffic can be chaotic.
- Avoid leaving valuables unattended at the beach or in crowded areas. Keep valuables in a bum bag and lock your room at night.
- Wear plenty of insect repellent and sunscreen and don’t drink tap water or drinks with ice.
- Respect local traditions and customs, including dress codes when visiting cultural attractions like temples and sacred sites.
- Only consume drinks from a reputable bar and avoid Arak – cases of methanol poisoning have been reported because of this traditional Balinese drink.
Travel insurance
- Check that your travel insurance policy includes cover for all of the activities you intend to undertake while in Bali. You may need to pay an additional premium if the activity is ‘high risk.’
- Understand the terms and conditions of your chosen insurance policy, including exclusions or limitations.
- Ensure your travel insurance covers medical emergencies, including evacuation if required.
Traveler tip: make copies of all key travel documents – passport, ID, travel insurance, receipts, vouchers, addresses, transportation tickets – and keep them separate from the originals so you have backups and proof of purchase if required.
