Baggage theft in Mexico
Theft is one of our most common travel insurance claims by travelers in Mexico. No matter what country you’re from, World Nomads travel insurance plans offer some coverage for theft or lost luggage checked into a common carrier. Per item and total maximum benefits may apply. Certain items, such as antiques, cash, or misplaced belongings, may be excluded from coverage. Depreciation, which takes into account the current value of your item versus the purchase price may also be factored into your claim.
To file a claim, you’ll need a police report or other written documentation such as a property irregularity report from your common carrier.
Travel insurance for medical emergencies in Mexico
The danger of food poisoning and contaminated water, which can cause nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and diarrhea, is that you could lose more fluids than you can keep down. Dehydration can be deadly, so don’t rely on your own instincts or the Internet to get medical advice.
These emergencies can take down even the most experienced traveler. That’s why the services of our 24/7 Emergency team are so valuable. Our travel assistance services will be able to give you advice on what to do, help locate suitable medical facilities (particularly in remote areas where access to medical care can be tricky) and, if necessary, arrange hospitalization depending on the severity of your illness.
At World Nomads, we know how important your health is while traveling, which is why all our policies include emergency medical benefits. Check your policy to see what the maximum amount of coverage you have. If you want to claim your medical expenses, be sure to keep records and receipts of your doctor’s visits and medical treatment, and any other documentation to support your claim.
Is there travel insurance coverage for scuba diving?
We’ve designed our plans to give you the freedom to learn and hone your diving skills by offering coverage for scuba diving accidents and other injuries underwater. However, your coverage depends on your country of residence. Some of our plans may have exclusions for certain types of diving or dives of a certain depth.
Make note of the types of diving that you’re planning (cavern diving, shark-cage diving or cliff diving) then check our adventure sports page to see if your activity is covered and under which plan, the Standard or Explorer. You may be required to pay an additional premium. As another travel insurance requirement, you may also need to be certified qualified or be accompanied by a fully certified qualified dive guide. Be sure to read your individual policy for details.
Travel insurance doesn't cover everything. All of the information we provide is a brief summary. It does not include all terms, conditions, limitations, exclusions and termination provisions of the plans described. Coverage may not be the same or available for residents of all countries, states or provinces. Please carefully read your policy wording for a full description of coverage.
Stolen Belongings
While on a bus from Belize City to Chetumal, Mexico, I put my large backpack into the storage area on the bus. After I transferred to a bus heading to Tulum, I discovered that my laptop was no longer in my backpack.
