The Complete Guide to Travel Insurance for Global Employees

Picture this: you’re sipping coffee in the airport, boarding pass in hand, when the loudspeaker announces your connecting flight’s been cancelled. Suddenly, that “quick trip” looks a lot longer. Now imagine it’s a family trip you’ve been planning for months, and the bag with your toddler’s favorite stuffed animal is somewhere over the Atlantic on an earlier flight.

Sound familiar? 

For anyone who lives and works across borders, especially Pebl-supported employees, travel surprises aren’t just inconvenient, they can disrupt important projects. But the right trip protection can help you avoid the worst of it. Pebl’s partnership with Insured Nomads was created to make your travel safer, simpler, and more secure.

Here’s what coverage includes and why you need it.

Why travel insurance matters

Working and traveling internationally can be exciting, but it also brings risks your home insurance doesn’t cover.

A missed connection can derail a major client meeting. A medical emergency abroad can become a logistical nightmare. And in rare cases of political unrest or natural disaster, having evacuation support can make all the difference.

That’s why we partnered with Insured Nomads to offer global travel insurance  designed for people who work and live internationally. You gain dependable coverage and the freedom to focus on what matters most: your work, your family, and your experiences abroad.

Understanding your coverage

This plan provides comprehensive protection designed for international work and travel. 

Here’s what’s included:

  • Medical protection for illness or injury while abroad, including hospital care and emergency treatment.
  • Trip interruption and cancellation coverage to help recoup costs if your plans change unexpectedly.
  • Lost or delayed luggage protection to cover the essentials when your bags don’t arrive on time.
  • Emergency evacuation and repatriation if you need to be transported to safety or to a facility equipped for your care.
  • 24/7 global assistance and telemedicine access, so help is always one call or tap away.

The plan applies to both work and personal travel, whether you’re on assignment or taking time off with family.
