I had a policy with World Nomads but cancelled it due to waiting a week for generic responses, piss poor customer service and then there was the price which was $1300 AU for a 6 month period ;-0
Navigator sounds very interesting, not to mention very well priced. I had a quick look at the website. Do they specifically insure 2 wheeled adventure riders globally with repatriation ect ?
Happy travels, Dave.

world nomads customer service 0.5 out of 10!
Everyone has a different experience and history will tell you a bad experience will get 10 times the exposure than a good one.
Just stating facts, my dealings with world nomads were some of the worst I've experienced, their customer service would rate at 0.5 out of 10! I wouldn't recommend them to anyone!
Happy trails Paul.

Best thing is to use the old communication method and call them. They emailed the policy wording to us within 5 mins with a quote. The medical cover does include repatriation and up to £5 million. The travel insurance side is standard stuff that we would probably never bother using.
Motorbikes any cc, off road is covered so long as it is designated as a road, off piste is not.
The maximum single policy is 18 months, minimum is a month.
We called back to confirm and pay, got the policy Doc back same day, Navigator are old hands at looking after Adv riders.
My bum hits the seat of NZ1 at 3pm today - get the bike out of storage in NZ and ride it home to the UK. This time filming the trip and doing a blog - I'll try and copy the blog onto a ride report on here.
Ride safe

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
