getting ready to strap on the ole' backpack for a good two months of street food eatin, guest house livin, smelly train ridin travelin.
where can i get travelers insurance?
honestly ive been from one side to the other of SE asia and top to bottom, but just never bothered with it. guess i was rolling the dice and came up lucky. perhaps in my older years, im becoming more cautious. i kind of want to trial run it for two weeks when im down south next month and then again in xmas when ill be out for 6 weeks trekkin the sub continent.
thankx in advance!

Kangsan sells CHUBB, and Xanadu sells AIG.
Look at the policies and levels of coverage... decide what fits your needs. |

You can also buy it at the airport. I've done this a few times. Standard coverage costs ~30/40k.
Better safe than sorry, especially in SE Asia. |

seconded
google "world nomads promotional code" and you'll save 5-10% on the cost, depending which code you find. |

I sell insurance.
We don�t cover injuries, vaccinations, medical visits, that occur outside of your specified itinerary. If you leave the hotel then it is considered a breach of contract. If you eat, it is your own choice and we don�t cover self inflicted damage, if you drink it is also at your own risk. Remember not to breathe either as this is your choice and can compromise your health.
If you like this standard policy give me 10k USD and I guarantee to deny every claim under 5k USD or over 5k USD.
Have fun as this is true travel insurance. |

I don't remember where exactly the counter is, but it's in the international terminal behind the check-in counters on the back wall somewhere. Sorry I can't be more specific.
You could ask for help when you check in, I'm sure they know where it is. |

Any travel insurance cover costs up front instead of reimbursement? |

Nomads does if your going to in hospital for more than 48 hours and you or someone on your behalf contacts them first for approval. |
