Travel Insurance

Hello I'm travelling to the States for 3 weeks and was wondering if anyone had any tips about what insurance company to use? I'm going to do some hiking in national parks but nothing out of the ordinary. I noticed that Lonely Planet has a link for a company called World Nomads. Anybody had any experiences with them? I'm leaving wednesday so a quick answer would be much appreciated. :)

If you want a quick answer, how come you don't just use the search engine above? This question, particularly about Nomads, has been done to death.

Can't comment on World Nomads, but you can compare it to other options using the consolidator website http://www.insuremytrip.com. A quick check for just medical shows plans for a 30 yo at under $50. You will be locked out of some options (e.g., pre-existing conditions, trip cancellation) because you are so close to your departure date. What you look for, what's available to you, and how much you pay is going to depend on your age, trip variables, etc.

These guys offer flexible rates and packages as well, especially if you are travelling to the states.

Hey Helly Smile...just clicked on your link and you lead people to a FB page where you say you work for Globelink insurance....Isn't that breaking forum rules?????

You're not supposed to promote your own company - or if you do, you should at least be up front about it and tell everybody you work there. Not a bright move linking to a FB page that says you work at Globelink whilst you pretend to be a traveller

Hello people, I'm not sure about world nomads, for travel insurance I usually get Aviva through their mobile app cause I tend to be really last minute in my planning, gosh!
Anyway, anyone of you know about health insurance? I live in Singapore and i'm planning to travel in the SEA region for 3 months. I am looking at a couple of insurance companies, but they also seem the same. Any recommendations? I want to make sure they really cover everything (as in, accident, hospital bills, etc)...if you know some good ones please share the info!
