We believe World Nomads Travel Insurance is the type of insurance that may help you travel abroad knowing you’re covered for your adventure… at the best price.
At World Nomads we’re travellers too, and we know that while everybody buys travel insurance to cover them when things go wrong, they’d rather be splashing out on a Bellini at Harry’s bar in Venice or upgrading their Bangkok hotel to include air conditioning.
That’s why we’ve designed our online travel insurance based on what you said you wanted… flexible online travel insurance that offers cover for medical emergencies, baggage delay or theft, trip delays, Coronavuirus-related cover, and more.
Travel insurance: What's included?
We've built our policies to help cover as many of those unexpected situations as we can. All of our policies offer cover for:
- Overseas emergency medical expenses
- Luggage/baggage cover
- Cancellation
- 24/7 worldwide emergency assistance
Of course, each policy is different but they have many benefits. Be sure to read the policy wording so you know what you're covered for.
World Nomads travel insurance also:
- Makes it easy to buy and claim online even if you’re travelling
- Lets you buy a policy at destination if you choose to keep travelling
- Provides you free access to travel safety advice for your next adventure
- Offers cover for a wide variety of adventure activities
- Gives you 24hr emergency assistance
Travel insurance: What's best for you?
As no two travellers are alike and range from gap year students and backpackers to long term travellers and families, we offer two options, Standard and Explorer so you can choose the level of cover that is right for you.
If you need the extras you can pay for them and if you don’t, then you can keep a little extra in your back pocket.
This is only a summary of cover and does not include the full terms, conditions, limits, and exclusions of the policy. You should read your policy wording 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.
Teeth hit the ground.
I put my foot in a funny way while I was walking quickly because it was raining, I just fell unexpectedly to the floor my face first so I put my arm bad and broke the shoulder a little bit and hit the ground with my front teeth so the lip was in blood and 1 tooth broken.

Slipped on the curb.
I was crossing the pedestrian street outside our hotel when I slipped on the curb and fell forward into a waist-height street pole with a large round metal top. Top of the pole impacted into the side of my left breast and left rib age.

Bitten by a shark.
I was surfing and was bitten by a shark in Tortuga Bay, Galapagos Is. I was able to walk to the medical center in nearby Puerto Ayora, where I received emergency medical treatment from Dr. Idrovo. The treatment consisted of cleaning the wound, local anesthetic and ten stitches. A course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories/ pain-killers was prescribed. A follow of check 24 hours later (today) revealed no infection. I am able to provide photos of the injury and treatment.

Travel Insurance for Overseas Medical
A visit to the hospital shouldn't put your credit card into intensive care

As featured in:
Broken bones in Mykonos, mystery illness in Madrid and bus accidents in Thailand, we’ve seen it all and know overseas medical travel insurance can literally be a lifesaver.
That’s why our policy is designed to help British travellers when unexpected illness or injury strikes and to get you back on your feet and, ideally, back on the road.
Cover available under this travel insurance policy is in excess of any statutory health insurance, or any available reciprocal health agreements (including your Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) or European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Where urgent medical assistance is required, contact our 24/7 Emergency Medical Assistance team before incurring medical costs. You must let us know how you are going and keep in contact with our EA team until you no longer require treatment or assistance.
What’s covered by overseas medical travel insurance?
World Nomads travel insurance covers accidents and emergencies when you’re travelling overseas.
If you’re accidentally injured or suddenly become ill while travelling overseas, our 24/7 Emergency Medical Assistance team is on hand to help you. Cover may include:
- Assistance locating and paying for medical care including a doctor, dentist, chiropractor or medical facilities in your location or nearby.
- Hospitalisation.
- Out-patient care and day surgery.
- Ambulances and medical transport, including by helicopter if medically necessary and available.
- Prescribed medicines.
- Transport home to the UK if we deem it medically necessary.
Am I covered for COVID-19 while overseas?
All our plans include emergency medical cover for travellers who get sick with Coronavirus while travelling overseas, where it is not considered a ‘pre-existing medical condition’ per the definition in the Policy Wording. If you are diagnosed with COVID-19 while overseas your benefits may include:
- 24/7 access to our Emergency Medical Assistance team, who can help you access local medical care;
- Medical costs including hospitalisation;
- Evacuation or repatriation if deemed necessary by us and in consultation with your attending physician.
You can check out our What’s covered for Coronavirus article which has all of the details, including benefit limits and exclusions.
Reciprocal health agreements and medical cover
World Nomads policies cover accidents and emergencies only and is not a health / private insurance policy. Cover may apply only if there is a sudden and unexpected accident or illness and for expenses for which there is no reciprocal health agreement in the country in which you are travelling.
If you are travelling to a country where the NHS has a reciprocal healthcare agreement, such as Australia or New Zealand, you will need to apply for reciprocal health cover before you leave the UK.
What’s not covered by travel insurance?
Though our policy may cover accidents and emergencies, it’s not a catch-all for every incident. Medical conditions or circumstances we don’t cover include:
- If you were doing anything illegal. (You didn’t really think we’d cover that did you?)
- Injuries or illness from drugs or alcohol.
- If you’ve been acting recklessly
- Pre-existing medical conditions as defined in the Policy Wording.
- Ongoing treatment at home.
- Non-emergency treatment that can wait until you get home.
- If there is a reciprocal health agreement in the country in which you are travelling.
- If you booked a one-way ticket to your destination, we will not pay for your return ticket home.
If things do go wrong contact our 24/7 Emergency Medical Assistance team. They can advise on your cover and get you in contact with medical help as quickly as possible.
The policy isn’t designed to cover everything so take the time to read the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions in the Policy Wording for full details, so there are no surprises if you need to use it. If you’re not sure if something is covered get in touch.
So that's the policy details - why not get a quote and see if it's right for you.
How to get medical assistance
It’s essential that you get in contact with our 24/7 Emergency Medical Assistance team as soon as possible, so that the team can support you from the time you fall sick or get injured until the time you're well again.
So that they can assist you quickly, please be ready with the following:
- Your policy number
- A contact number for where you are now
- The nature of your problem
- Your location
Sick in Vietnam
I was so relieved and grateful to all of the World Nomads team to get insurance cover for my treatment this week whilst I have been sick in Vietnam. Thank you for all your hard work and understanding to manage my complicated case with negotiations and international correspondence. I received a truly professional service from you.

Contact the teamFAQ
Here are our most frequently asked questions about overseas medical insurance. You can also find the answers to other questions in our Helpdesk or you can ask our customer service team.
-
Does my insurance cover medical costs upfront or do I have to pay and claim later?
Who pays depends on what’s happened! If it’s an emergency situation where hospital admission and/or medical evacuation is required, the insurer covers these costs upfront (provided the incident is covered as per the policy wording, of course).
-
Do you have a list of doctors/dentist so I know where to go in case something happens and make sure I’m covered?
We don't have a list of doctors or dentists. If you need help finding one, contact our 24/7 Emergency Medical Assistance teams, and they'll guide to the most appropriate medical professional.
-
Why don't you cover ongoing treatment at home?
Travel insurance policies are designed for accidents or unexpected illness overseas. They don't stand in place of the NHS or your private health insurance.

Robbery in Vietnam
I got robbed on Nha Trang beach in Vietnam. I was walking along the beach carrying my bag with me. A man took away my bag from my arm and ran away with it. In the bag there were a Asus Tablet, a Canon Camera, a Samsung Smartphone and 4.000.000 Vietnam Dong in cash. No credit cards or documents were stolen.

Severe diarrhea.
Whilst travelling, I had severe diarrhea. I lost about 5 kg of weight in around 36 hours and submitted myself to hospital. They placed me on a drip, gave me some medication and did some initial tests. They said that I would need to come back in a few days and have a colonoscopy and endoscopy, to determine what the problem was. After having these examinations, the doctor said that she wasn't sure what was wrong, but said I should return to England to have more tests as she was concerned regarding my condition.

Chicken pox.
