New Plans and Underwriting Partnership
World Nomads Canada has introduced expanded travel insurance products featuring upgraded benefits, new plan options, and greater flexibility, responding to evolving traveller needs amid flight disruptions, rising costs, and global uncertainty. The company announced the launch of Epic Single Trip and Annual Multi-Trip plans, along with optional Cancel For Any Reason coverage, now underwritten by Zurich.
“Travel today looks very different than it did even a few years ago,” said Christina Tunnah, Head of the Americas at World Nomads. “Canadian travellers are navigating more costly disruptions like airline bankruptcies, severe weather and global wars. They need coverage that goes further. These updates are designed to deliver deeper protection tailored to those realities, so travellers can feel confident no matter what their trip throws at them.”
Record Travel Volumes Drive Demand
Nearly 100 million trips were taken in just one quarter, increasing travellers’ exposure to unexpected disruptions. World Nomads, serving Canadian travelers since 2008, has refreshed its product suite to help Canadians navigate uncertainty with greater flexibility and benefits, whether planning a quick getaway or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
World Nomads’ products for Canadian residents are now underwritten by Zurich, a globally recognised insurer with more than 100 years of experience serving Canadians. This partnership enhances the strength and dependability of coverage available to Canadian travellers.
New Plan Options
At the heart of the launch are two new plan options:
- Epic Single Trip Plan: A premium option with higher limits and more extensive coverage, ideal for bucket-list and once-in-a-lifetime trips.
- Annual Multi-Trip (AMT) Plan: Provides coverage for multiple trips of up to 14 days each over 12 months, offering added value for frequent travellers.
World Nomads is also introducing enhanced flexibility through an optional Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) add-on, available on Explorer and Epic plans, giving travellers more control when plans change unexpectedly.
Upgraded Benefits
New and upgraded benefits are now included across Explorer, Epic and AMT plans, further strengthening coverage. These include rental car coverage, pet emergency care, and trip exchanges in select plans, shaped by customer feedback.
