What do you do in a situation where your travel company had a non refund policy so I took out travel insurance. Trip was canceled by the airline, Travel insurance repaid my amount; now I notice the tour company also refunded the net amount the airline returned to them!! Who do I repay and how? Is it fraud if I keep both since insurance was paid separate from tour company??

I’m wading my way through travel insurance subrogation clauses. I’m in Canada and we all have a lifetime limit on our extended health plans. Travel insurance companies will pay up but then seek repayment through your insurance plan so buyer beware. I’m looking for a company who Will take the least away from my medical insurance lifetime limit.

Hey Matt, What’s your take on SafetyWing? At first glance, it seems to be worth serious consideration over World Nomads (much cheaper at least), but since you know World Nomads inside-out I’m sure you can point out reasons to choose it instead.
Thanks and keep safe!

Thank you for your advice. We have used World Nomads (even before finding your blog). I am in need of some clarification though about seniors as the difference in cost is substantial (between $300 and $500). We are 64 and 62 now while purchasing insurance, but will be 65 and 63 on the insured trip. Is World Nomads still ok for us for this next trip?

I would say it’s better to do a research before buying am insurance policy since you don’t wanna end up being stuck in the policy that doesnt even suit you.
Thanks for sharing tho. The way you answer the questions explains the travel insurance all quite well

Hi thanks for the post, but I please want to ask an urgent question.

Should I take the Travel medical insurance in my home country or the country I plan to travel to?

I recently injured my knee whilst travelling. It turned out to be a torn cartilage and fractured tibia. I could not get MRI whilst in Caribbean. Dr advised wait til I got home in new few days. Insurance company advises they only pay for expenses paid whilst overseas. Does this mean all my future treatment, physio, possible operation in Australia is not now covered. I do not have private health insurance as I am an old age pensioner but thought my overseas injury should be covered by Travel insurance as I have overseas doctor report confirming this.
