Got Cover?

Well… after weeks of searching and struggling, I’ve now finally made a decision on the insurance for travelling and we’ve gone with World Nomads.
Comparing insurance companies was a nightmare though as the only people who talk about their insurance experiences online are either those who have had a serious situation and needed emergency medivac or those who have been turned down after trying to claim something that wasn’t included on their policy meaning you only have people with really positive or really negative experiences.
I had a couple short listed but went with my gut in the end and picked the most ‘net savvy’ of the bunch. World Nomads let you organise everything online without making phone calls but have numbers available should you need them. They weren’t the cheapest out there, but I tend to go with slightly more expensive brands anyway, on the off chance that money really does equal quality. They seemed to cover everything that we needed and had the option to pay a little extra to add pricier items like my camera to the insurance (their included valuable insurance only covers up to a maximum of £250 for a single item).
Not sure how well they’ll actually perform, hopefully we won’t have to use them, but if we do, I’ll be sure to let you all know, no matter what the experience.
