A painless and intuitive claims process

I was pickpocketed while in Mexico City and had my new iPhone stolen as well as my driver’s license. The claims process for World Nomads was painless and really intuitive. I simply logged everything online. The resolution was extremely fair, and I would be happy to recommend World Nomads to anyone.
