Travel Insurance 2026: The Guide You'll Read at the Airport When It's Already Too Late

We compare the 4 most popular travel insurance options so you can choose the right one — ideally before you check in

SafetyWing

The most affordable for long stays. If you're a digital nomad or travel for more than 30 days straight, it's practically unbeatable in price — and the peace of mind is worth more than the monthly fee.

World Nomads

The best option if you do adventure sports (hiking, scuba diving, skiing). Its activity coverage is unmatched in the market — and the only reason not to buy it is if you genuinely plan to do nothing remotely interesting.

IATI Seguros

If you prefer to handle any claim in Spanish with a trusted company based in Spain, IATI is the most comfortable and professional choice. The small premium for linguistic peace of mind is well worth it.

Chapka Assurances

Its annual plan is particularly interesting if you travel 3–4 times a year or more. The coverage-to-price ratio on annual plans is very competitive — and if you've ever actually had to use travel insurance, you know exactly why it's worth it.
