Choosing a travel insurance company can seem like a daunting task, especially with so many insurance companies out there.
Unfortunately, not all insurances are created equal! Some travel insurances will cover more and some will cover less, so you need to make sure that your plan will cover you for everything you intend on doing. World Nomads is, in our experience, the best insurance for independent travelers and here is why:

There you have it, I hope this post has convinced you that World Nomad is the best travel insurance available and if you are still debating whether to get travel insurance or not, then check out why travel insurance is important.
I find that the major downside to WorldNomad insurance is that you need to provide a booked return ticket to your home country to file a claim. With my style of long term travel this is usually not possible. How do you deal with this issue?
Claire A or anyone else find an answer to this question? Thanks!
Excellent reasons to choose World Nomads, Ben! The possibility of extending the policy is really great!
