I have purchased 17 days coverage with World Nomads (Managed by Trip Mate Insurance) for my trip to Nepal from April 30 to May 16, 2021 (Explorer option). My original return flight from Kathmandu to New York on May 15, 2021 was cancelled by Qatar Airways due to operational reasons. I was left with no option, but to buy one way ticket, again with Qatar Airways departing on May 16, 2021 for $1700!!! I also had to pay for one extra night at the Hyatt Hotel, meal, and taxi rides to travel agency. The total amount I intended to claim for reimbursement was $2000 (much less than covered by Explorer Plan. I tried to submit a new claim online, but the page on World Nomads website was always returning with "Your session has expired" message. I tried to call Customer Center, but the phone answering machine was directing to email, which couldn't been delivered. I used some resources and found World Nomads Claims Processing Center mailing address in Kansas City, Missouri. I submitted my claim by certified mail with all the receipts and explanation letter, asking to communicate with me by phone or my email. US Postal confirmed that my certified mail was delivered and signed received to World Nomads Claims Processing Center on May 27, 2021. However, nobody has communicated with me since then. I also sent World Nomads several emails requesting any information on my claim processing with no response! All of that gives me the impression that World Nomads Travel Insurance in the United States is a shady fraud company! I will never buy any travel insurance with World Nomads Travel! Terrible fraudulent shame!
