You didn't go over the fine print of Trip Protection. They'll only cover special circumstances and not cover changing your mind.
You can also forget any alliance related company. Total scam and waste of money!
Hey guys you're wrong about the travel protection. Its not "for some reason". There are very specific instances that are covered which are mostly medical reasons etc. You're not covered if you "can't make it or have to work or don't want to go".
I found this site to be really helpful: https://www.internationalinsurance.com/ They have some great tips on plans to purchase and the best plans for any citizenship or even for people doing extreme sports
You made a mistake: Health Care is not free for foreigner in Canada. Even for residents, if they being out of country for more than 6 months, they don't have free coverage for the first three months when they return to Canada. Also, non-residents like international student can't use free medical health care and they have to buy private insurance.
Best websites for travel insurance
Love traveling? If yes, you’ve probably made quite a few travel plans by now, and visited places around the globe. But, when dreaming up the best travel plans, has the the thought to include travel insurance as part of your to-dos ever crossed your mind? Probably not, and this is where your best laid plans can go awry: http://bit.ly/2PlCVug
Travel Insurance "MAY" cover your foreign Medical Bills …..

That's wrong, healthcare in Europe isn't free!
did they cover alien attacks?
informative yet super annoying video, stop with the wanking and get to the info giving
Nice video. Thanks
Made sure to use your link to World Nomads as a token of appreciation for all the videos you guys make! I start travelling Southeast Asia mid-May and couldn't be more stoked! I was pretty nervous at first, but your videos helped a lot. Keep doing what you guys do!
Allianz Global Assistance has my eternal recommendation!
My Australian Visa didn't get approved in time for my flight, submitted a paragraph, the PDF of the ticket, and the converted amount in USD. A week later I had a check.
world nomads quote 3 times the price of others, insure my trip, did not even get a quote, 60 but no problem with others I have had quotes off in UK, example, nomads £164 here £30-£70 for a year, nomads was a 3 week quote, my opinion they are useless!
Unless your Canadian, sure our system will treat you but then your getting a large bill. Not as much as American hospitals but it will still be extremely high!! Again Canadian health insurance is not free unless your Canadian!!

world nomads insurance is useless
thanks guys!
Can anyone tell me what the background music is at 0:19
Every time that I travel I use travel insurance usually ALLIANZ,and the most important the Air Ambulance,I take a plan that cover for 250 000 dls.Soon I going to Spain I live in Miami,USA;and I paid for 11 days 103 dls,of course there are other plans more cheap is out to you.
so for the emergency medical part, do they pay the hospital or do we have to pay first then get reimbursed??
And especially it's from fellow travelers, the user, not some guy or gal in a suit
This is one of the best explained and most viewed videos. Thank you brothers!
Very helpful thank you
I just booked a plan with World Nomads. Glad to see it's actually a good one. Lol Also, great ending lol
So if I was canceled on by a girl for an event that we had planned and I did purchase travel insurance.. is that liable means for getting a refund on not wanting to go anymore?
i l,you
It would be great if you guys could list the countries with free healthcare, Love all of your videos keep up the great work
Not bad but you would do your subscriber a BIG favor if you addressed the issue of pre-existing medical conditions and how it relates to the timely purchase of travel insurance
Very good points, guys. Also remember to ask (1) will your insurance company actually come to pick you up if you're in the field/mountainside, etc. Do they have operational capability for this? (2) will you need a doctor's referral to initiate the evac (very hard to find if there isn't a doctor nearby) and (3) what if there isn't a third-party doctor nearby? Will they still come to get you if your life is in danger? (4) Are there any altitude limits for this insurance? The answers for the companies mentioned here are (1) no (2) yes (3) no (4) yes.
Sweet guys ! Awesome tips for my first long backpackers trip. You guys are awesome haha
I can't stop watching your videos! They're extremely helpful and super entertaining! I just wonder why I didn't discover you earlier!!
Hahahahaha nice ending
great tips, great video! we also use world nomad. only one claim, easy stuff.
You guys are awesome. Thanks for the info. Most of it was obvious but helpful reminders for me! I am planning my first international trip and have been cross referencing my research. You guys are FANTASTIC, thank you again for your time and dedication to your channel. 🙂
THUMPS UP.
YOU r Best.
keep it up.
GOD BLESS YOU.
You always needs Travel insurance – A couple of weeks before a trip, I broke my hip and had to forfeit my trip and I couldn't get a refund – All that money gone – after that I always get insurance.
Healthcare isn't free in Canada unless you are a citizen. I have to purchase medical insurance to go there as an American. I looked at World Nomads but they offer a lot of stuff that doesn't apply to me since I'm driving to Canada. Need just medical/evac.
well, thank you! on sunday, I am going to have my first flight abroad and moreover on my own to Morocco. this was very useful to me. also, someone already said it but you guys really have a potential as actors, I could even picture Alex on a tv show like GoT or Vikings aha. you both have some charisma that made a boring subject entertaining! just discovered you and already subscribing after my second video. greetings from France 🙂
Suuuper helpful! Thanks!
What insurance company are you with
I am going to be a nit picky here from my experience with healthcare in Germany. Healthcare coverage is generally free for Germany citizens. There is basic healthcare, and then they can pay for better service. But I went to a hospital there and they sent a bill. It's not free for non Germans.
Wow. Dont know how I missed this. I've been following for a while, but not commenting. As I'm preparing to begin my own adventures, insurance had been on my mind. Thanks for sharing this. It will be valuable.
Also, thanks for just being who you are. You crack me up.
