Important: For more information on what World Nomad's policies cover, read this page

Grant says: ALWAYS read the policy CAREFULLY to be SURE you are covered on your motorcycle. There are exceptions and variations depending on home country, where you're going and a lot of other things. For example, UK residents are not covered for motorcycle touring! "No Touring or where a motorbike is the main mode of transport. No Personal Liability Cover."

READ THE POLICY AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT - BECAUSE IT DOES!
