For travellers who revel in ultimate freedom — to roam with the flexibility of a one way ticket.
Trusted by:
A one way ticket offers the ultimate freedom. To travel to a destination with an open mind and open plans about when—and if—you’ll return home in the foreseeable future.
As travellers ourselves, we understand the allure of not committing to an end date for your travels. That’s why World Nomads offers cover for one way travel insurance. Because travel is about going forth into the unknown.
When you buy travel insurance with World Nomads—whether you’re travelling on a one way ticket or not—the policy covers some of travel’s most common mishaps, including:
A World Nomads travel insurance policy also provides access to the experienced 24/7 Emergency Assistance team who are there to help you find a doctor if you or a member of your travel party become sick or injured.
The beauty of single trip cover is you can explore a country or multiple countries for as long as you choose. But there is one defining difference compared to if you buy travel insurance for a return trip: your flight home (since it’s non-existent at the time of purchase) isn’t covered.
If you find yourself needing to return home for a covered reason, the cost you would have normally paid for an Economy Class airfare (at the carrier’s regular rate or actual cost incurred) will be deducted from your total claim.
Overseas travel insurance isn’t designed to cover everything and there are some things we simply don’t cover for one way travel, including:
It’s always a good idea to read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) carefully and check the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions when you buy travel insurance (or anything else for that matter!) so you have a good understanding of what is and isn’t covered for one way travel insurance.
We offer two levels of cover, Standard and Explorer. Each plan comes with different benefit limits, different limits and sub limits. Take the time to consider which is the best option for your travel plans, so you clearly understand what’s included in the level of cover you select for your one way trip.
Many travellers who buy one way travel insurance are planning to move to another country for a working holiday for the foreseeable future. Our single trip cover is designed to cover you for up to 12 months whether that means a gap year in Canada or a months-long backpacking trip across Europe.
And if you’re nearing the end-date of your trip and decide to extend your stay, you should consider extending your travel insurance too.

Already left? With World Nomads, you can buy travel insurance even after you’ve left home. Get a quick quote and easily buy while abroad. If you buy travel insurance during your overseas holiday, you are still subject to a 72-hour waiting period from the date that you receive your Certificate of Insurance, before your cover comes into effect. This means that you may not be covered for certain events or losses that happen during this period.
The World Nomads team is here to help 24-hours a day, 7-days a week. Get in touch if you’re unsure what your next step should be and we can help get you there, whether that means deciding which policy is best for your trip, how to buy while abroad, or how to make a claim.
The above features and benefits are a summary of cover only. Cover is subject to the full terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions outlined in the Product Disclosure Statement. You should read your PDS in full, so you understand what is and isn’t covered. If you are unsure about your level of travel cover, please contact us for help.
On Saturday 9 August 2014 I incurred acute pain and vomiting all night long. I went to Siloam Hospitals Bali due to the acute pain and non-eating. I was hospitalised immediately. X-rays and ultrasound found a kidney stone and infection. I was hospitalised for 5-6 days where I was medicated and had tests accordingly. I had a procedure to break up the kidney stone as it would not dislodge. I was released from hospital to convalesce at home
