Insurance forum

I fear that the number of reviews on the site for all bar 2 of the insurers are so small as to be meaningless. Taking the example that you link to, there are only 9 reviews going all the way back to 2007, and only one review in the last 12 months.

You also have to wonder when 2 (lesser known) companies have so many more reviews than any other and also have significantly better ratings than most. Perhaps this is overly cynical, but I have spent too long looking at internet forums on Vietnam not to take this sort of thing with a grain of salt.

#3 so why use worldnomads (who is obviously some kind of travelfish sponsor) into the equation? Do a search on "XYZ travel insurance reviews" and you'll get a host of people moaning about not being paid out, its hardly like nomads are the only ones who don't pay claims!

The issue is when people get paid out they don't get the same pressing need to go write online about it. noisy wheels and all that.

I've used nomads in the past and it was all easy. I didn't have to claim so can't comment on tat but they're a very backpackerfriendly company I think.

I'd use them again, and if i filed a legitimate claim and they didn't pay then i wouldn't use them again. Would look at any company same way.
