World Nomads travel insurance. More than you expect.
Worldwide cover
The level of worldwide cover in our travel insurance policy recognises the needs of young, independent and adventurous travellers. So there is cover for skiing and diving rather than for travel delays and missed connections, which most world nomads take in their stride as part of the trip.
And of course, everything is online. From changing your details to making a claim, you can do it all online.
Cover your Adventure
World Nomads travel insurance covers every country in the world, and from Bungee Jumping in New Zealand to white-water rafting in Nepal or skiing in Colarado, we also cover most adventure sports. Find out if what you want too do is covered with our simple guide to adventure.
Extend and claim online, while you are still away
Travel plans often change. That is what's exciting. Unlike other insurers, who don't allow you to extend or purchase again outside your country of residence, World Nomads allows you to extend your policy indefinitely.
And since you will probably be away for a while we recognised that you can't wait until you get home to make a claim, so we put it all online. You can submit claims, but more importantly also liaise with the claims department until it is settled.
And you can do so 24/7 from anywhere in the world.
Digital camera's, iPod's and computers
The level of worldwide cover in our travel insurance policy recognises the needs of young, independent and adventurous travellers. So there is cover for skiing and diving rather than for travel delays and missed connections, which most world nomads take in their stride as part of the trip.

Designed by travellers for travellers
World Nomads is specially designed to be unlike any other type of travel insurance. We designed our services to be 100% online. No paper or fax. Just help yourself to everything from your nearest internet cafe while you are still away!
More Flexibilty. Better Service.
Many of us head off with the intention of just going to the destination of our dreams, but then meet others along the way and decide to go with them to somewhere else. Such changes of plan are very common, and the simplest option is to get a worldwide policy from the outset, as it obviously offers the greatest flexibility at little extra cost.
You can purchase a World Nomads policy from almost anywhere; you don't have to be in your original country of residence.
While some other insurers allow you to extend your policy while you are away, World Nomads allows you to do so indefinitely . And unlike other insurers, you don't have to rely on dodgy Bolivian fax machines as we are the only travel insurer to allow you to do it all yourself online.
So you can buy enough to set off, say three months, and then just keep extending it. You can extend your policy as many times as your like. Indefinitely. There is no maximum duration with World Nomads. 2 weeks? 2 years? 5 years? Easy.
You can also make your claims online while you are still away, without waiting to get home first.
Extreme Adventures
A flexible policy really pays off when it comes to hazardous activities. Among other activities World Nomads covers you for:
- Motor Cycle Riding, provided you have a licence that is valid in the relevant country. You are even automatically covered as a pillion passenger.
- Surfing. Your equipment is not covered whilst it is in use, however it is covered whilst it is in your room for example.
- Underwater Diving, provided you hold an open water diving licence or you were diving under licensed instruction.
- Skiing and Snowboarding. Your equipment is not covered whilst it is in use, however it is covered whilst it is in your room for example.
- Trekking and Hiking, provided you do not need to use support ropes.
Costly Emergency Medical or Evacuation
Medical expenses account for the largest proportion of claims made by travellers. While it's obviously essential to have insurance if you are going to do something hazardous such as white-water rafting, most medical claims are actually for everyday illnesses rather than major accidents. Between 20 and 25 per cent of all travellers are struck down with travellers' diarrhoea. In many cases, this can be treated with simple medication but it is not unusual for people to be hospitalised.
An online travel insurance company you can trust
We recognise that if you do have an accident while you are away, you need the confidence that you will be looked after. There is no point in having low cost travel insurance if you can't trust it when you really need it. That is why World Nomads travel insurance is underwritten by Allianz and backed by the Mondial Assistance Group, the largest and most successful assistance organisation in the world.
Money Back Guarantee
Changed your mind? No worries. Our simple 14-day money back guarantee allows you to cancel your policy anytime within the first 14 days, if you haven't left or made any sort of claim. Just log on to the site and cancel the policy yourself, and we'll give you a refund. Easy.

No, you can extend your World Nomads travel insurance policy as many times as you like, but you can’t extend your cover if your policy has expired.
