From college spring break to family trips, learn how travel insurance can provide cover for your spring break adventure.
Trusted by:
Spring break is a time to pause the schoolwork, get out there and have some fun. Whether you’re a parent taking the family on a spring break vacation, or a college student going overseas for the first time, there are many different types of spring break trips to recharge your batteries.
Whatever you decide to do, considering travel insurance can be an important part of your vacation planning.
World Nomads provides travel insurance for many different types of travelers, including solo travelers, duos living at the same address and families of many different shapes and sizes.
Some types of spring break trips we may be able to offer cover for include:
Families taking a road trip to check out national parks, big cities or visit extended family.
College students spring breaking in Jamaica, Mexico or another tropical destination to escape the cold.
Friends or families taking a cruise – Caribbean, European or further afield.
Spring Break only happens once a year, and you don’t want illness or injury to ruin your plans. If you do get sick or seriously injured, especially overseas, emergency medical expenses and repatriation can climb into the tens of thousands of dollars.
All our policies include cover for:
Trip cancellation and trip interruption.
Emergency medical treatment, like an urgent visit to the doctor, medicine, x-rays and hospital stays.
Emergency medical evacuation if you get really sick and need to be transported somewhere with more appropriate medical facilities or back home to the U.S.
Cover for delayed, lost or stolen baggage.
And we never send anyone away without 24/7 worldwide emergency assistance.
World Nomads covers more than 200 activities, sports, work and volunteer experiences. Your spring break fun in the sun might include water sports like snorkeling, surfing, swimming and sailing – we’ve got you covered for all of these. And if your spring break plans include more adventurous activities, like skiing, scuba diving, and even bungee jumping, these activities may be covered too.
All activities come with inherent risks, and accidents can happen. Travel insurance can provide coverage for emergency medical treatment and emergency evacuation if necessary. This is especially important if you are traveling to a remote location or a country with limited medical facilities.
World Nomads offers two plans, a Standard and an Explorer plan. Both plans offer a range of benefits including overseas emergency medical coverage, cover for your belongings, and cover for more than 200 activities. The Explorer Plan includes all the benefits of the Standard Plan, plus a few more, including additional covered activities and higher limits and sub-limits of coverage. To see what’s covered, select your country of residence and get a quote. You’ll be able to compare plans and download the full position description before you buy.
All travel insurance has exclusions, so make sure you read your policy and know what you aren’t covered for. Common things we won’t cover include:
Anything illegal (you didn’t really think we’d cover that did you?).
Medical bills related to or caused by drugs or alcohol.
Routine medical treatment that can wait until you return home (it's not health insurance; it's for travel emergencies).
Pre-existing medical conditions.
Ongoing treatment at home.
Our policies aren’t designed to cover everything, so take the time to read the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions in the policy wording for full details so that there are no surprises if you need to use it. If you’re not sure if something is covered or you have any questions, please get in touch.
