Scan our PassportCard Nomads review to discover the benefits and drawbacks of this innovative new travel insurance company. See for yourself if it’s the right travel insurance choice for you!
In our 12 years of writing about travel, it’s rare that there’s something new in the travel insurance space. We’ve talked in detail about travel insurance options for short term vacationers, long term travelers, and even expats, and covered most of the major companies in the travel insurance space.
However, in this article we’re looking at a new approach to travel insurance from PassportCard Insurance. PassportCard global nomad insurance is innovative because it’s an app-based travel insurance credit card.
Personally, we never take at trip without making sure we have travel insurance in place.
We’ve had a couple of situations where we’ve needed travel insurance: once when I ended up in the hospital for three days in Thailand, and once where our son was injured in Greece.
We’re both ok now, but they were stressful situations, and having travel insurance meant that we didn’t need the additional worry of a pricey, unexpected medical bill. See our “Do I need travel insurance?” article for more.
Getting reimbursed for travel insurance is a hassle
One of the main hassles with using travel insurance is that many insurers require you to pay out of pocket to get treated. You’re then paid back when you file a claim. As you can imagine, this is pretty stressful, and especially concerning if you’re low on funds.
When our son cut his eye on a piece of playground equipment in Greece, we were forced to pay out of pocket for expensive private medical care, as that was all that was accessible. We then had to consider getting a reimbursement from the travel insurance company after the fact. We were lucky that it was only a few hundred Euro.
There must be a better way.
That’s where PassportCard Nomads comes in.
