Travel Insurance for a trip to Croatia
What you should consider when buying travel insurance for a trip to Croatia.
- As featured in:
As featured in:
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Croatia? Sunny islands like Vis and Korcula, beaches on the Dalmatian Coast, the historic walled city of Dubrovnik, and a welcoming culture all come to mind for us. Travellers also come for the lush national parks, unique cuisine, burgeoning wine scene, and under-the-radar experiences in Eastern Croatia’s historic Slavonia and Baranja. Whatever your ideal adventure looks like, Croatia offers adventure, natural beauty, and a rich history and culinary traditions.
You can bet we’ve seen all sorts of travel insurance claims from Canadians in Croatia. International travel can be life changing, but it also can involve those less-than-great moments - like sickness, missed flights, and lost baggage. Because of this, you may want to get a quote for travel insurance for Croatia before you set forth on your journey.

- Travel insurance for medical emergencies in Croatia
- Travel insurance for lost luggage in Croatia

- Tips for travelling to Croatia from Canada
Do I need travel insurance for Croatia?
World Nomads travel insurance plans offer protection against certain unexpected and unforeseeable circumstances that might disrupt your travel plans. You’ll want to consider travel insurance to protect yourself against expenses related to unforeseen events like theft of your baggage or a missed connection due to inclement weather, for example.
Travel insurance for Croatia can also protect against large medical bills resulting from accidents that may happen on your outdoor adventures, such as mountain biking in Istria.
Our travel insurance plans also include important travel, medical, and security assistance services designed to provide you with guidance before and during your trip.
We have two plans to choose from for different types of travellers and adventures.
Travel insurance for activities in Croatia
Whether you’re planning to explore by sailing between islands in the Adriatic Sea or hiking to waterfalls in Krka National Park, World Nomads travel insurance covers Canadians for over 250 activities in Croatia. Rock climbing the canyons of Paklenica National Park, sea kayaking from Hvar or Dubrovnik, and windsurfing around Kučište-Viganj are all covered under travel insurance for Croatia.
It’s important to have a fairly concrete idea of your trip plans before you get a quote. You must list all your activities out when purchasing the plan—and if something happens while you are participating in an activity you didn’t list on your plan, then you won’t be covered. For example, if you go hiking while on your trip and you didn’t list that activity out when making your plan purchase, you won’t be covered if something were to happen on the trail. You may want to overshoot and list out all possible activities you may do, just in case.
Also keep in mind that you will be covered under the base plan to participate in various adventure sports, activities, volunteer, and work experiences, shown as Level 1, under both our Standard and Explorer Plans. To have coverage for adventures sports, work and activities listed as Level 2 or Level 3, you will need to upgrade your adventure sports coverage and pay an extra premium. Note: Special conditions and exclusions may apply to while taking part in certain sports and activities. For the full policy terms and conditions please review the policy wording.

Travel insurance for medical emergencies in Croatia
Whether you break your ankle while hiking through Paklenica National Park or sustain an injury while windsurfing, you can protect yourself from loss due to emergency medical expenses by purchasing a travel insurance plan for your trip to Croatia.
In a medical emergency, the first thing you should do (if you are medically able) is call the 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team. The team may be able to help you find a reputable medical center and could help organize the care you need. If you are unable to call until later, make sure you call them as soon as possible.
The Emergency Assistance Team can also help you navigate the unfamiliar health care system in Croatia, including assisting you with language barriers and finding the best places to seek medical treatment.
Travel insurance for lost luggage in Croatia
Lost or stolen bags is never something we plan for, but these things do happen. Did you arrive in Dubrovink but your bag—packed with your new swimsuit and favorite sundress for your beach vacation—didn’t? The first step is to contact the airline.
If you’re lucky, your bags just took a detour and will eventually make their way to you. Even a delayed bag can be stressful though. If this happens and your bag is missing for 12 hours or more, your travel insurance for Croatia could still reimburse you for a change of clothes and toiletries, until you and your bag are reunited.
While Croatia is generally considered safe, pickpocketing or theft can happen anywhere. If your stuff is stolen from under your nose, your travel insurance plan could also reimburse you for what was lost (depreciation and plan limits will apply). When picking a plan, you may want to consider the amount of baggage coverage available and make sure you are comfortable with the maximum amount. The Standard and Explorer plans each have different limits.

Travel insurance for cancelled, interrupted, or delayed trips to Croatia
Sometimes your plans just don’t work out. World Nomads travel insurance plans include trip cancellation, trip interruption, and trip delay benefits that may provide reimbursement for your unused, pre-paid, non-refundable travel expenses.
Trip interruption and trip cancellation coverage can help protect you in case of emergencies before your leave, or back home in Canada after you’ve departed. If you need to cancel or interrupt your trip due to a covered reason such as a medical emergency or the death of an immediate family member, you may be eligible for reimbursement of your unused, pre-paid travel expenses (up to plan limits) hotel expenses or airfare that you can no longer use.
Tips for travelling to Croatia from Canada
As much as you may have planned each detail of your Croatian adventure, the unexpected can still happen. We encourage you to check out the Canadian government’s safety warnings for Croatia before you leave. Up-to-date warnings— including weather advisories and political situations—will be listed on the website.
It’s also a good idea to save the 24/7 Emergency Assistance phone number and your plan number in your cell phone so you don’t have to search for that if an emergency happens.
Finally, we recommend checking out our travel tips for Croatia. You may also want to read up on some destination inspiration for non-touristy spots to check out in Croatia to help you discover the lesser-known side of this Eastern European country rich in history, culture, and nature.
This is only a summary of coverage and does not include the full terms and conditions of the policy. It is important you read and understand your policy as it contains benefits, conditions, exclusions and pre-existing condition exclusions. If you do not understand your coverage, of if you have questions, just ask us.

If something happens on your trip and you need to come back to New Zealand, World Nomads travel insurance can help you pick up where you left off once you’re ready to go again.
What is trip resumption cover?
If you've had to interrupt your trip and return back to New Zealand because you:
- Were sick or injured overseas, or
- One of your close relatives has been hospitalised or has died, or
- A severe weather event has struck your home in New Zealand resulting in severe damage,
World Nomads overseas travel insurance policies offer coverage for reasonable transport and accommodation expenses, up to policy limits, so that you can get back on the road and finish your trip.
What am I covered for if my trip has been cut short?
We may pay for reasonable additional transport and accommodation expenses, up to policy limits, for you to resume your trip if you’ve had to return home during your travels for a compassionate emergency visit, your repatriation back home for medical treatment, or because your home in New Zealand is severely damaged by a natural disaster.
Your policy still needs to be valid for the period of your resumed trip. Your policy also needs to be the one that you were travelling on when you had to return home.
Trip resumption: what's not covered by travel insurance?
Travel insurance isn’t designed to cover everything. Some things we don’t cover for trip resumption include:
- Any expenses incurred while you're at home.
- If you go home because you're homesick.
- Pre-existing medical conditions.
- Any trip resumption expenses unless pre-approved by us or our 24/7 Emergency Assistance team.
- If you don’t wish to resume your trip, your cover will cease at the time you arrive home. There is no refund for any unused portion of your policy.
- Anything else listed in the exclusions on your policy.
This is not a full list of what's covered and not covered. Be sure to read your Policy Document and contact us if you have any questions.
Need to know more?
If you have questions or need help, you can contact us.
This is only a summary of coverage and does not include the full terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of the policy. You should read your Policy Document in full, so you understand what is and isn’t covered. That way there won’t be any surprises if you need to use it. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

It does not constitute financial advice in any form and should not be relied on as a substitute for obtaining professional advice that is specific to your circumstances.

- Doctors' reports/death certificates
- Medical history (ruling out pre-existing conditions)
- New flight tickets

Grandma in palliative care
My grandmother suffered an acute subarachnoid hemorrhage after having a fall and was subsequently placed in palliative care in November. I received a phone call to return home as my grandmother only had a few days to live according to the doctors. I returned home, and she passed away. I then recommenced my travels after her passing and funeral.
Claim Paid.

Key features of World Nomads Travel Insurance for Bali
World Nomads travel insurance may cover you (up to the policy limits) for the following:
- Emergency medical cover: Hospital or doctor visits can be costly if you fall sick or have an accident in Bali. World Nomads' plans offer cover medical emergencies and evacuation. If required, you can get transported to a medical facility suited for your care, subject to approval from the 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team. Limits apply.
- Adventure activities cover: Planning to surf, dive, or hike in Bali? World Nomads offers coverage for more than 150 activities, including common Bali adventures. Many activities also have specific terms and conditions, limitations and exclusions you should read up on. An upgrade for certain sports may be required. Check your policy for details.
- Trip cancellation or interruption: Whether it's a medical issue, family emergency, or unexpected changes in your plans, you’re could be covered for trip cancellations or delays.
- Lost or stolen baggage and valuables: Unfortunately, Bali is no stranger to pickpocketing. World Nomads offers coverage for stolen or lost luggage, passports, and valuables. If your luggage gets damaged or stolen en route to Bali or during your travels, you may be able to claim the unexpected costs incurred as a result. And if your luggage is delayed for more than 24 hours, you may be entitled to replacement costs for your essential clothing and toiletries. It’s important to read your Policy Document carefully.
- Natural disasters: Natural disasters, like severe weather, floods, landslides, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and earthquakes can regularly occur; there is an ongoing risk of terror attacks; and the standard of medical facilities is often lower than that of other countries.
What’s not covered?
Travel insurance is not designed to cover everything. Some things World Nomads don’t cover include:
- Existing medical conditions
- Traveling to, planning to travel to, or choosing to remain in a country or region that is subject to the New Zealand Government issuing a ‘Do Not Travel’ warning. For more information go to the safetravel website.
- Participation in a sport or activity not listed in the Policy Document or one that's covered, but you haven't paid the required additional premium.
- Costs arising from your refusal to be repatriated once you are declared medically unfit to continue a trip but are fit for repatriation.
- The policy excess per person per insured event where applicable (check the ‘Summary of Benefits’ in your Policy Document).
- Loss or damage to luggage due to age, wear and tear, or loss of value. Damage to sporting equipment caused while in use. Terms and conditions apply. If an item is listed as a specified item when you purchase a policy and where an additional premium is paid, wear tear and depreciation is not considered in the event of a claim.
Bali travel insurance and safety tips
While Bali is generally safe, if you’re venturing there for the first time, it’s handy to be well-versed on how to traverse the island safely.
Safety
- Be mindful of traffic when crossing streets – Bali’s traffic can be chaotic.
- Avoid leaving valuables unattended at the beach or in crowded areas. Keep valuables in a bum bag and lock your room at night.
- Wear plenty of insect repellent and sunscreen and don’t drink tap water or drinks with ice.
- Respect local traditions and customs, including dress codes when visiting cultural attractions like temples and sacred sites.
- Only consume drinks from a reputable bar and avoid Arak – cases of methanol poisoning have been reported because of this traditional Balinese drink.
Travel insurance
- Check that your travel insurance policy includes cover for all of the activities you intend to undertake while in Bali. You may need to pay an additional premium if the activity is ‘high risk.’
- Understand the terms and conditions of your chosen insurance policy, including exclusions or limitations.
- Ensure your travel insurance covers medical emergencies, including evacuation if required.
Traveler tip: make copies of all key travel documents – passport, ID, travel insurance, receipts, vouchers, addresses, transportation tickets – and keep them separate from the originals so you have backups and proof of purchase if required.

Best time to travel to Bali
Bali is a pleasure to travel around at any time of year, but the best time to visit is during the dry season from April to October when the weather is sunny and pleasant, perfect for exploring the island’s beaches and outdoor activities.
This is only a summary of coverage and does not include the full terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of the policy.
