Ready to conquer new heights? Literally? Aussie explorers have been attracted to rock climbing for centuries, and it’s easy to see why – rocky climbing ticks all the boxes; physical strength, mental focus, (nearly) untouched landscapes, and breathtaking views. Embarking on a rock climbing adventure can be an exhilarating experience, however, amidst the adrenaline rush and excitement, it's important not to forget to research travel insurance…just in case.

What’s covered when rock climbing?
World Nomads offers coverage across two insurance policies (Standard and Explorer) for four different rock climbing activities:
- Rock climbing (indoor)
- Rock climbing (outdoor)
- Rock climbing (bouldering/no ropes/no equipment)
- Rock climbing (sport climbing/bolted)
Note: some of these activities require package upgrades or specific qualifications. For this reason, we recommend you refer to your Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) or contact us before purchasing a travel insurance policy. Please note: soloing/free soloing rock climbing is not covered.
Cover for lost, stolen or delayed baggage
If you’re looking for a location to climb between November and April, check out Krabi province in Thailand – the limestone cliffs have many routes for all skill levels. Keep in mind though, Thailand has some of the busiest airports in the world, and with that comes the possibility of lost baggage. Or even worse your rock climbing gear could go missing in transit or be snatched right under your eyes. If this happens our travel insurance may be able to help.
If you arrive at the airport and your baggage is delayed for more than 12 hours, both our Standard and Explorer plans offer cover for the cost of essential items (think jocks, socks, and a toothbrush). And if the unthinkable has happened and your baggage or climbing gear is lost or stolen, we may cover the original purchase price to replace the items.
Please note: sporting equipment that is checked-in is only covered where the carrier requires it be checked-in due to its size or weight.
Why should I consider travel insurance when rock climbing
It’s no secret that Aussies love a thrill-seeking adventure, and while Australia offers some of the best rock-climbing locations, there’s always an allure to travel abroad and discover new and challenging rock formations to scale. However, travelling overseas and hanging off cliff faces also presents risk. World Nomads could be your ticket to having fun, the safe way.
Here are some of the ways travel insurance could come in handy on your next overseas trip:
Cover for over 150 sports & adventure activities: Yosemite National Park is renowned as a world-class destination for rock climbing. And hiking. And kayaking. And cycling. World Nomads provides travel insurance for more than 150 activities, sports and experiences. While this list might seem exhaustive, it doesn’t cover everything. That’s why you shouldn’t take for granted that your preferred activities will be covered. You can’t upgrade your level of cover mid-way through your holiday, so do consider this wisely.
Cover for stolen gear: Travel insurance can help you continue to ‘rock on’ if someone decides they like your gear more than you do and steals it. Both the Standard and Explorer policies offer coverage for the cost of stolen belongings (up to policy limits).
What’s not covered
Travel insurance is not designed to cover everything so understanding what’s not covered is important. There are several situations we can cover you for, but there are also some we just won’t cover.
These include, but are not limited to:
- World Nomads does not offer coverage for free soloing – so make sure you keep those ropes firmly attached!
- World Nomads won’t cover you if you overestimate your vertical limit skills and put yourself in dangerous situations – this includes breaking local laws and warnings.
- Competing at an international event as a national representative.
- Any remote search or rescue operations to remove you from a life-threatening situation (unless covered by natural catastrophe).
- Follow the local laws and regulations – whether it’s respecting the local customs or respecting the fragile ecosystems of the beautiful places you’re lucky enough to discover, it’s always important to remember travel insurance doesn’t cover breaking the law.
Key tips for your rock climbing trip
- Ensure you have a clean bill of health before you go: climbing isn't just a bit of a walk in the park -- you need to be in top-notch form to scale those crags. Don't forget to have a quick check-in with your doc and sort out any necessary vaccinations or medicines, depending on where you're headed. Speaking of general health; make sure you refer to your PDS before leaving, as we often don’t offer coverage for existing medical conditions.
- Rock climbing can be dangerous – take the time to plan your adventure in detail. It’s important to assess the route difficulty, comparing it to your experience level – because while it’s good to challenge yourself, the outcome won’t be much fun if you realise you’ve bitten off more than you can climb, halfway up!
- Do you know what likes crags? Rock climbers…and…ticks. Do you know what likes rock climbers? Ticks. Because: yum. Tick bites can cause Rocky Mountain Fever and Lyme Disease, which can result in a hospital trip. It’s always best to do a thorough check of your body and gear after every climb.
- Check your gear! Safety is paramount when rock climbing, and safety starts with a thorough inspection of all your climbing gear – before, and after every single climb.
- Rock climbing requires physical strength and ability – we recommend you speak to your doctor before embarking on your journey just to be sure that you’re medically fit for the challenge.
- Inform a local assistance company and your family of your rock-climbing location and trekking route and policy details.
- Make sure to use a qualified tour guide if you're rock climbing as part of a group.
- Check which countries your rock-climbing trip passes through to ensure your policy covers you for that region.
- For the intrepid rock climber, be aware a higher policy excess applies if you need to be medically evacuated within Nepal.
- Make sure that you've selected the right travel insurance plan for your specific needs. Get a quote online anytime, anywhere.
This is only a summary of coverage and does not include the full terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of the policy. You should read your PDS in full, so you understand what is and isn’t covered. That way there won’t be any surprises if you need to use it. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
Traveller tip: no one plans for a natural disaster, but unfortunately, they happen. If your whole trip or your rock climbing session is interrupted by a natural disaster and you’re forced to extend your stay, our travel insurance may cover the reasonable and necessary costs (up to policy limits).
Traveller tip: rock climbing can get gnarly, which is why doing your research into travel insurance could be a wise decision. Make sure you take the time to understand what you're signing up for, including what happens if you need to be plucked off a mountain or need a bit of patching up. Do your research, back the ropes, and conquer the world – one rock face at a time!
Traveller tip: if your climbing gear is stolen, it’s imperative you get on the front foot by reporting it to the authorities and obtaining a police report. After that, we ask that you contact us to submit a claim. Always keep copies or originals of any receipts in case you need to make a claim for stolen gear and valuables.

Confira nossos planos de Seguro Viagem que podem ajudar a protegê-lo em sua viagem ao Equador.
- As featured in:
As featured in:
Um país relativamente pequeno, porém repleto de experiências incríveis para o viajante aventureiro. No Equador, você pode escalar vulcões, andar de bicicleta nos Andes, flutuar em meio à selva, pescar piranhas - emoções são o que não faltam. E isso sem falar na incrível vida selvagem que você vai explorar nas Ilhas Galápagos!
Mas junto com as aventuras vêm os riscos. E se acontecer um desastre natural ou você sofrer um acidente longe de algum centro urbano? Ao planejar as férias dos seus sonhos, uma apólice de seguro é uma boa ideia para ajudá-lo a lidar com eventos inesperados e inconvenientes.
- Por que o Seguro Viagem é importante
- Ao que devo ficar atento quando viajar para o Equador?
- O que não está coberto?
Por que o Seguro Viagem é importante
Uma viagem única para mergulhar com tubarões, tartarugas marinhas e arraias em Galápagos significa um alto investimento. Um Seguro Viagem que cobre bagagem extraviada e emergências médicas pode ajudar a proteger esse investimento caso algo inesperado aconteça.
Uma plano de Seguro Viagem da World Nomads pode oferecer cobertura para:
- Bagagem extraviada ou perdida
- Cancelamento ou interrupção da viagem
- Objetos pessoais roubados
- Seguro médico no exterior e cobertura para eventos relacionados ao Coronavírus
- Mais de 150 atividades e esportes no Equador
Ao que devo ficar atento quando viajar para o Equador?
Se você procura praias tranquilas ou montanhas cobertas de neve, o Equador tem tudo para fazer de uma visita as melhores férias da sua vida! Mas as coisas podem não sair conforme o planejado. Saber que você pode resolver problemas financeiros, médicos ou logísticos por meio de sua apólice de seguro representa um grande conforto. Alguns dos eventos inesperados com os quais podemos ajudá-lo incluem:
Embora o Brasil e o Equador sejam vizinhos próximos, as companhias aéreas ainda podem extraviar ou perder sua bagagem. Se isso acontecer, certifique-se de seguir todos os procedimentos de comunicação corretos no aeroporto e a World Nomads poderá fornecer a você uma muda de roupa e itens pessoais até que as coisas sejam resolvidas.
Com tanto a se fazer no Equador, você provavelmente passou muito tempo planejando a sua viagem. Mas se algo inesperado, como uma doença ou um acidente, acontecer um pouco antes da partida, ou mesmo durante a viagem, seu seguro pode ajudá-lo a recuperar parte de suas perdas.
- Objetos pessoais roubados
As cidades maiores, como Quito e Cuenca, oferecem uma fascinante mistura de história e cultura indígena e espanhola, incluindo um dos maiores mercados ao ar livre da América Latina. Mas se você for roubado enquanto admira o artesanato local, nossa linha direta 24 horas pode indicar a delegacia de polícia mais próxima e ajudá-lo a obter documentos temporários. Também podemos ajudá-lo a receber fundos transferidos por sua família no Brasil.
- Seguro médico no exterior e cobertura para eventos relacionados ao Coronavírus
Se você se machucar em uma caminhada até os famosos lagos de cratera ou em uma expedição de rafting das montanhas para a selva, nossa equipe de assistentes pode ajudá-lo a encontrar o centro médico mais próximo. Se a lesão for grave, a World Nomads também poderá ajudar a providenciar uma evacuação de emergência para o Brasil.
Infelizmente, os efeitos da pandemia ainda fazem parte de nossas vidas; portanto, se você adoecer com um problema médico relacionado ao Coronavírus, seu seguro poderá ajudar com internações hospitalares e medicamentos.
A World Nomads desenvolveu um seguro abrangente para o viajante aventureiro com cobertura para mais de 150 esportes e atividades radicais. Com novas experiências incríveis sendo lançadas no Equador, como tirolesa em alta altitude e balanços à beira de penhascos, é importante que você leia as diferentes apólices - Standard, Explorer e Explorer Plus - e decida qual é a certa para o tipo de férias que pretende tirar.
O que não está coberto?
Claro, nenhuma apólice de seguro pode cobrir absolutamente tudo, e há uma série de situações para as quais a World Nomads não fornecerá assistência ou reembolso. Elas podem incluir:
- Praticar esportes não cobertos pelo plano adquirido. Sempre verifique o que está e o que não está incluso antes de fazer uma apólice e antes de se inscrever em um novo esporte radical, ok?
- Se você não cuidou bem de si mesmo ou de seus pertences. Portanto, se você deixou suas coisas sem vigilância enquanto aproveitava a vida noturna de Quito ou seguia as iguanas na praia de Galápagos, não poderemos oferecer cobertura.
- Tratamento para condições médicas pré-existentes ou se sua viagem foi planejada especificamente para receber cuidados de saúde especializados.
Claro, este é apenas um breve guia para o seguro durante sua viagem ao Equador. Então, antes de ir para o “centro do mundo”, não hesite em entrar em contato para obter informações mais detalhadas sobre as diferentes apólices e coberturas disponíveis.

Unfortunately, sometimes things happen; loved ones fall ill, and best-laid plans don’t go to plan. If you find yourself unable to travel because someone at home is sick or injured, our Cancellation Travel Insurance cover helps Kiwis cover the non-refundable portion of their travel expenses. This includes transport, accommodation, tours/experiences, travel agency cancellation fees and frequent flyer points.
Here are the steps you need to take if you find yourself needing to make an online claim:
- Rearrange or cancel your bookings
- Get it in writing
- Keep your itineraries and receipts
- What if someone gets COVID-19 and I can't travel?
- Need to know more?
1. Rearrange or cancel your bookings
If you find yourself cancelling or postponing your holiday due to the illness or injury of a loved one, it’s essential you take immediate action by rearranging/cancelling all pre-paid and pre-booked travel expenses (think accommodation, tours, transportation etc.).
Traveller tip 1: Take time to research all offers, compensation options, and cancellation alternatives available when rearranging/cancelling with your service providers. Some providers can be quite accommodating – especially in unavoidable situations such as illness and injury. Not only is it in your best interest to avoid or minimise your expenses, it’s important to keep in mind that World Nomads will only cover costs within policy limits, and where you’ve taken reasonable and necessary steps to minimise costs as much as possible.
2. Get it in writing
It’s important you collect all the required reports outlining the medical situation affecting your close relative, and therefore your ability to continue with your travel plans. Some reports required include:
- Doctor or other medical practitioner’s report, confirming the illness or injury
- Hospital admission report
- Ambulance report (if applicable)
- Police report (applicable)
- Any other applicable documentation
Without supporting documentation we may be forced to deny your travel insurance claim. For full details of required documentation, and policy inclusions and exclusions, please refer to your Policy Document.
3. Keep your itineraries and receipts
If the unforeseen does happen, and you’re forced to stay in New Zealand instead of travelling abroad, make sure you keep all your paperwork. (Think receipts, itineraries, booking confirmations, cancellation confirmations, e-tickets, and vouchers).
Also, make sure to keep all documentation outlining any cancellation/postponement offers you’ve secured and refunds paid to yourself, as we’ll need to see those in order to keep your trip cancellation claim hassle-free.
Traveller tip 2: paid for your travel expenses with frequent flyer or similar air travel points? All is not lost – if you can’t recover the lost points from any other source, World Nomads Travel Insurance may be able to reimburse you for the cost of any equivalent class ticket (up to policy limits). Refer to your Policy Document for full details.
4. What if someone gets COVID-19 and I can't travel?
If your travel plans are interrupted or cancelled because a close relative in New Zealand is hospitalised or dies due to Coronavirus, you may be covered for the reimbursement of your non-refundable travel expenses. We offer Coronavirus coverage for cancellation and trip interruption expenses under our Explorer Plan.
To find out what cover applies to you, read our Coronavirus cover article, which has all of the details, including benefit limits, conditions and exclusions.
Traveller tip 3: wondering who we deem a ‘close relative’? Check out our article, Am I covered if I need to cancel my trip because a relative is sick/injured? for our definition of a close relative, and more information on what is (and isn’t covered) should you find yourself cancelling your trip because someone at home is sick or injured.
5. Need to know more?
This information may help if things go wrong, and you want to make a claim. 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. Your Policy Document will always have the full details of what you’re covered for.
If you have any further questions about what’s covered and not covered, just ask us.
This is a summary only. It does not include all terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions of the plans described. Please carefully read your Policy Document for a full description of coverage. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
The information provided is of a general nature and is provided for information purposes only.

So, you’ve booked tickets and planned the itinerary, you’re all set for the adventure of a lifetime…then the unexpected happens; someone at home becomes sick or injured and is hospitalised as result, meaning, you’re travel plans are now changing.
Unfortunately, we can’t magically make loved ones better (sorry), but if you’re insured with a World Nomads travel insurance policy, we may be able to take some of the financial sting out of cancelling or rearranging your holiday and remaining in Australia.
Here are the steps you need to take if you find yourself in this situation:
- Rearrange or cancel your bookings
- Get it in writing
- Keep your itineraries and receipts
- What if someone gets COVID-19 and I can't travel?

If you find yourself cancelling or postponing your holiday due to the illness or injury of a loved one, it’s essential you take immediate action by rearranging/cancelling all pre-paid and pre-booked travel expenses (think accommodation, tours, transportation etc.).
Traveller tip 1: Take time in the first instance to research all offers, compensation options, and cancellation alternatives available when rearranging/cancelling with your transport service providers. Some can be quite accommodating – especially in unavoidable situations such as illness and injury. Not only is it in your best interest to avoid or minimise your expenses, it’s important to keep in mind that World Nomads will only cover costs within policy limits, and where you’ve taken reasonable and necessary steps to minimise costs as much as possible.
2. Get it in writing
We know you’ll no doubt be overwhelmed dealing with the sudden medical situation facing your loved one, which is why we try and make claiming cancellation or trip interruption expenses as straightforward as possible. We may require key documents, including:
- Doctor or other medical practitioner’s report, confirming the illness or injury
- Hospital admission report
- Ambulance report (if applicable)
- Police report (applicable)
- Any other applicable documentation
Once you have these reports, you’re ready to make your online claim, 24hrs a day, 7 days a week.
3. Keep your itineraries and receipts
It’s incredibly important that you hold onto all your source documents for your cancelled/postponed adventure – and we mean everything! Receipts, itineraries, booking confirmations, cancellation confirmations, e-tickets, vouchers…the whole shebang!
Also, make sure to keep all documentation outlining any cancellation/postponement offers you’ve secured, and refunds paid to yourself, as we’ll need to see those to keep your trip cancellation claim hassle-free.
Traveller tip 2: Paid for your travel expenses with frequent flyer or similar air travel points? All is not lost – if you can’t recover the lost points from any other source, World Nomads Travel Insurance may be able to reimburse you for the cost of any equivalent class ticket (up to the policy benefit limits).
4. What if someone gets COVID-19 and I can't travel?
If your travel plans are interrupted or cancelled because a close relative in Australia is hospitalised or dies due to Coronavirus, you may be covered for the reimbursement of your non-refundable travel expenses. We may offer Coronavirus coverage for cancellation and trip interruption expenses under our Explorer Plan.
To find out what cover applies to you, read our Coronavirus cover article, which has all of the details, including benefit limits, conditions and exclusions.
Traveller tip 3: Wondering who we deem a ‘close relative’?

As featured in:
The excitement of traveling overseas for a long-awaited holiday can quickly turn into frustration and anxiety when you arrive at your destination, but your luggage doesn’t. It can be stressful standing at the conveyer belt waiting for your luggage to appear, when the last bag finally comes out and it’s not yours, but our guide can help you work out what to do next.
- Report it to your carrier straight away
- Get a written report
- Keep your receipts
- Need to know more?
- Does my insurance cover tech?
1. Report the delay to your carrier immediately
Once you realise your baggage has been delayed, speak with a representative from your carrier (usually your airline) to report the delay. Ask them for a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) or another official document. The report should state the reason for the delay as well as the date and time that your luggage is estimated to arrive. You will need this report to support any claims. Ask the carrier for some financial assistance to help you buy some everyday items such as toothpaste, deodorant or new underwear while you wait for your bags. If they refuse your request, then ask them to put the reason for their denial in writing to you. You must include this letter or report with your other documentation when submitting any claims for essential items.
2. Obtain receipts for any purchases
If you need to buy a few essentials to make life more comfortable until your bags arrive, then you’ll need to keep copies of your receipts should you wish to claim for these expenses. Cover for essential items is only offered to travelers whose luggage is delayed for at least 24 hours after their scheduled arrival. If your luggage is returned to you within 24 hours of arriving, you can't claim for essential items. Only receipts showing a date and time which is at least 24 hours after your scheduled arrival, and before the delivery time of your luggage, will be covered.
A few points to consider if you wish to claim for essential items
Before you rush out to buy this season’s must-haves, keep in mind that only reasonably necessary items may be covered under our policies. These are items to help you stay clean, fresh, and comfortable until your baggage is returned to you. Some examples of reasonably necessary items could include:
- Toiletries
- Prescription medications
- New underwear
Note: There is no cover for essential items if your luggage is delayed on your return home to Country of Residence.
Both our Standard and Explorer plans have different daily limits of cover for delayed baggage. Please read through your Policy Wording to make sure you’re aware of the limits, benefits and terms and conditions, and exclusions that relate to your policy. If you have questions about what's covered and not covered, just ask us.
3. Obtain a final report
Once your bags are returned to you, ask your carrier for another report stating the reason for the delay, the length of the delay, as well as the date and time the luggage was returned to you.
4. Need to know more?
Always read the Policy Wording and General Exclusions for other scenarios and expenses we don’t cover so there’ll be no surprises if you need to use your cover. This information could help you if things go wrong and you want to make a claim. If you are unsure about your level of travel cover, please get in touch.

Contact the teamTravel insurance for a visit to Ecuador
Check out our Travel Insurance plans which may help safeguard you on your trip to Ecuador.
- As featured in:
As featured in:
For such a relatively small country, Ecuador is packed with amazing experiences for the adventurous traveler. From hiking up volcanoes to biking down the Andes, from floating through the jungle to fishing for piranha, thrills are everywhere. And that’s to say nothing of the amazing wildlife waiting to be discovered in the Galapagos Islands!
But along with adventure comes risk, and what if a natural disaster strikes or you suffer an accident far away from the nearest town? When planning your dream vacation, a travel insurance policy may be a good idea to help get you back on course in case an unexpected event means things go awry.
- Why travel insurance matters
- What should I look out for when traveling to Ecuador?
- What’s not covered?
Why travel insurance matters
A once in a lifetime trip to go snorkeling with the sharks, sea turtles and manta rays in the Galapagos means a lot of financial outlay. Travel insurance covering lost baggage and medical emergencies can help protect this investment if the unexpected happens.
A World Nomads travel insurance policy may provide cover for:
- Delayed or lost baggage
- Trip cancellation or interruption
- Stolen personal effects
- Overseas medical insurance and cover for Coronavirus-related events
- More than 150 activities and sports when in Ecuado
What should I look out for when traveling to Ecuador?
If it’s relaxed beaches or snow-capped mountains you’re after, Ecuador has everything to make a visit the best vacation ever! But things might not go according to plan and knowing that you may be able to resolve financial, medical or logistical problems through your travel insurance policy is a great comfort. Some of the unexpected events that we may be able to help you with include:
Delayed or lost baggage
Even though Brazil and Ecuador are close neighbors, airline companies can still manage to mislay or lose your baggage. If this happens, make sure that you follow all the correct reporting procedures at the airport and World Nomads may be able to provide you with reimbursement for a change of clothing and personal items until things get sorted.
Trip cancellation and trip interruption
With so much to do in Ecuador, you’ve probably spent a long time making travel arrangements. But if something unexpected, such as an illness or an accident, happens just prior to departure, or even during your trip, your travel insurance policy may be able to help recover some of your losses.
Stolen personal effects
The bigger cities such as Quito and Cuenca provide a fascinating mix of indigenous and Spanish history and culture, including one of Latin America’s largest outdoor markets. But if you’re pickpocketed while browsing the local handicrafts, our round-the-clock hotline may be able to point you to the local police station and help you obtain temporary documents. We can also assist in getting funds wired over from your family back in Brazil.
Overseas emergency medical insurance and cover for Coronavirus-related events
If you injure yourself on a hike to the famous crater lakes or on a whitewater rafting expedition from the mountains into the jungle, our 24/7 emergency assistance team can help you find the nearest medical center. If the injury is serious, World Nomads may also be able to help arrange for emergency evacuation and repatriation back to Brazil.
Unfortunately, the effects of the pandemic are still a part of our lives, so if you fall ill with a Coronavirus-related medical problem, your insurance may be able to help with hospital stays and medication.
Cover for over 150 activities and sports when in Ecuador
World Nomads has developed travel insurance for the adventurous traveler with cover for more than 150 exciting sports and activities. With amazing new experiences being developed in Ecuador, such as high altitude ziplining and swings flying out over canyons, it is important that you read through the different policies – Standard, Explorer and Explorer Plus – and decide which one is right for the kind of vacation you plan on taking.
What's not covered?
Of course, no insurance policy can cover absolutely everything, and there are a number of things that World Nomads will not provide assistance or reimbursement for. These may include:
- Taking part in sports not covered by the policy. Always check what is and isn’t covered before taking out a policy and before signing up for a new radical sport.
- If you haven’t taken proper care of yourself or your belongings. So if you’ve left your things unattended while enjoying Quito’s nightlife or following the iguanas down the beach in the Galapagos, we won’t be able to cover you.
- Treatment for pre-existing medical conditions or if your trip has been planned specifically to receive specialist health care.
Of course, this is only a brief guide to insurance while traveling in Ecuador. So before heading off to the “center of the world,” please feel free to contact us for more detailed information on the different policies and cover available.

Chegaram as férias, é hora de surfar! Pegue uma onda no paraíso dos surfistas – mas não se esqueça do seu seguro.
- As featured in:
As featured in:
Você já conhece tudo que o litoral brasileiro tem a oferecer e agora é hora de partir para Gold Coast, Indonésia, Oahu ou todas aquelas ondas com as quais você sempre sonhou. Mas um caldo inesperado ou um encontro com uma rocha submersa podem impor uma pausa ou prematura ao seu sonho. Portanto, antes de buscar as ondas, é uma boa ideia contratar um Seguro Viagem.
Seguro Viagem para surfistas brasileiros
Você pode até ser um surfista tarimbado e conhecer os riscos, mas surfar sabendo que está protegido em caso de acidente só melhora sua experiência. Uma apólice de viagem da World Nomads para surf pode cobrir:
Perda de bagagem: E se a companhia aérea extraviar sua valiosa prancha e outras bagagens antes mesmo que você veja o mar? Certifique-se de informar imediatamente a perda à companhia aérea e obter comprovante por escrito, preenchendo o formulário P.I.R (Property Irregularity Report).
Documentos perdidos: Perdeu seus documentos de viagem e carteira pulando de uma cidade litorânea para outra na Nicarágua? Você pode contar com seu Seguro Viagem para garantir que as substituições sejam mais tranquilas.
Atendimento médico de emergência: em um minuto você está voando sobre as ondas, no próximo você leva um caldo. Fazer um Seguro Viagem para questões médicas de emergência no exterior pode ter sido a melhor decisão que você tomou antes de viajar.
Transporte: as melhores ondas do mundo não necessariamente ficam próximas ao hospital. Seu Seguro Viagem pode ajudá-lo a sair do paraíso isolado do surfista e se dirigir ao centro médico mais próximo para tratamento.
Cancelamento de viagem: Se você ou um acompanhante sofrer um acidente nas ondas ou ficar doente, o que significa que sua viagem terá que ser interrompida, sua apólice pode ajudá-lo a voltar para casa e recuperar suas despesas de viagem pré-pagas.
Além do surf, sua apólice World Nomads também pode cobrir:
- Surf terrestre
- Stand-up paddle surf (SUP)
- Windsurf
- Sandboard
- Kiteboarding
- Wakeboarding
Leia sua apólice de Seguro Viagem detalhadamente, pois certas formas complementares de tratamento médico podem não ser cobertas por acidentes relacionados ao surfe.
O que não está coberto pelo Seguro Viagem para surf?
A World Nomads quer contribuir para que as pessoas possam explorar tudo que o mundo tem a oferecer. Mas você não deve visitar regiões que forem consideradas inseguras ou desaconselháveis para viajar, e você sempre precisa ser sensato e tomar cuidado. A World Nomads não pode cobrir tudo, portanto, esteja ciente de alguns pontos, como:
- Não vá para o mar depois de beber ou usar drogas.
- Não podemos oferecer cobertura se você não seguir as orientações de seu médico após um acidente.
- Você deve sempre cuidar de seus objetos pessoais.
- Se algo acontecer com você como resultado de uma condição médica pré-existente, seu tratamento não poderá ser coberto.
Se você é iniciante, faça aulas em uma escola de surf. Não procure um tubo ou uma rampa direto!
Como aproveitar ao máximo seu Seguro Viagem
Como surfista, há uma boa chance de você querer experimentar outros esportes ou atividades de aventura durante as férias.
A World Nomads oferece cobertura para mais de 150 esportes e atividades diferentes e emocionantes que você pode experimentar enquanto viaja pelo exterior. Mas você deve estudar os diferentes planos - Standard, Explorer e Explorer Plus - para decidir qual é o certo para você.
Aproveitar suas férias ao máximo geralmente significa tomar as decisões certas. Então, ao sair para surfar:
- fique de olho nos alertas de tempestade
- reconheça os seus próprios limites e respeite os sinais de alerta do oceano
- verifique a área com antecedência e fique atento a rochas e recifes submersos
- pode ser uma boa ideia surfar com outras pessoas para que vocês possam se revezar para ficar com as coisas de todos na praia. Seu seguro não cobrirá a perda de seus pertences se eles forem deixados sem vigilância.
Obviamente, em férias de surf, é para isso que você deseja uma cobertura específica. Mas os planos de Seguro Viagem da World Nomads cobrem muitas outras situações inesperadas e às vezes inevitáveis que podem acontecer quando você está viajando.
Você pode precisar de cuidados médicos depois de torcer o tornozelo subindo a colina para outra praia ou depois de comer frutos do mar locais que não caíram muito bem. Ainda existe a possibilidade de você pegar o COVID-19. Aconteça o que acontecer, o Seguro Viagem para emergências médicas é importante, pois pode fornecer assistência e atenção médica quando você estiver longe de casa.
A equipe de assistência de emergência da World Nomads também pode oferecer ajuda 24 horas por dia, 7 dias por semana, em diversos eventos inesperados. Isso pode incluir ajudar a encontrar o hospital ou delegacia de polícia mais próximos ou informar sua família no Brasil sobre qualquer emergência e ajudá-lo a receber valores de maneira rápida e fácil se você estiver em dificuldades.
Obviamente, este é apenas um breve resumo de por que é uma boa ideia ter um Seguro Viagem se você estiver de férias para surfar. Para obter informações mais detalhadas, leia atentamente as opções de apólice disponíveis. Se você tiver alguma dúvida, entre em contato.
