I was opening a bag of potatoes with a knife. The knife slipped and cut my finger on my left hand. I attended the local emergency department in Aix-en-Provence at no charge (and was) referred to Clinique Axium the following day. I underwent micro surgery and had two follow up appointments at the Clinique, along with having a specialised splint made to keep my finger in a bent position to enable healing.

While in a restaurant in Saigon, Vietnam I cut my hand on a broken glass door. I was bleeding quite a bit so we went to the hospital that night. The doctor confirmed that I cut a tendon in my hand (thumb) and will need surgery. The following day I went to the hospital and received a tendon repair surgery at HCMC Family Medical Practice.

As featured in:
Whether you’re exploring on the map or hurtling off it, serious accidents can happen anywhere, anytime.
If you have a serious accident while on holiday, you will want to consider travel insurance. An unexpected accident, for example, a car accident resulting in broken bones, a serious illness that lands you in hospital, or an injury caused while hiking or doing any type of sports, could really add to the pain you may already be feeling.
Injuries resulting from an accident can be extremely costly due to ongoing medical expenses, particularly when it involves medical evacuation costs. Thinking about the benefits of travel insurance when traveling abroad could mean you can be covered appropriately, and you may save thousands of dollars.
Make sure you’ve read your policy wording as there are there are terms and conditions, limitations, and exclusions. Always do your research on where you’re going and what you plan to do when overseas as this will help you pick the right policy.
Note: while you may have access to health insurance for any accidents in your Country of Residence, this may not be the case when you are overseas. Please be aware that this is accident and emergency cover only and is not a private medical insurance policy. It only covers you if there is a sudden and unexpected accident causing you injury or if you suddenly become ill during your trip.
With World Nomads you can get an instant quote anytime, anywhere, before you leave home or while you’re on the road.
While we offer cover for over 100 sports, activities and experiences, we won’t cover you if you try to make a claim resulting from a sport or activity that isn’t covered by your policy. This can apply to cover for sports-related injuries, as well as equipment loss/damage and any personal financial losses. Make sure that each sport or activity you will be engaging in is covered by your insurance policy; if it’s not, consider upgrading your policy to ensure you are appropriately covered.
A large number of travelers may experience some kind of trouble when holidaying overseas each year. That’s why our 24/7 Emergency Assistance team can help out when you need it the most. Our teams can guide you to the nearest hospital, set up direct payments to the medical facility, arrange medical transport, and provide support to your family back home.
Here are some tips that will help with your a claim:
This is not a full list of what's covered and what's not covered. There are limits and conditions that apply, so for more information check out our articles on overseas medical coverage and adventure sports coverage, and read your policy carefully before you buy.
Travel insurance tip: if you’re involved in an accident and are hospitalized or suffer an injury, you must report the incident to the relevant local authority (e.g. police, hotel manager, other travel service provider) as soon as possible and provide a copy of the written evidence to verify your claim. For example, you will need a police or roadside assistance report if you are delayed after a vehicle breakdown or a road accident.
I was injured in a moped accident, in Koh Tao, Thailand. The moped turned over onto my foot and I had sprained/injured ligaments and tendons in my left foot. I was unable to walk on my foot at all. The doctor gave me a bandage in lieu of a cast, and crutches, stating that I could not bear any weight on my foot for a minimum of three weeks. I was also told to rest my foot, and could not do so while traveling. I needed to come back to the US for help getting around as well as time to heal.

Get the medical treatment you need after being attacked.
As featured in:
Physical and sexual assault aren't something you ever want to think about for your trip, but the unfortunate truth is that these attacks happen way too often to travelers. That's why we're here to help you. While some destinations have higher incidents than others, no destination is immune.
To add complexity to already horrific circumstances, the laws and customs of some countries can see innocent victims imprisoned, so knowing what to do following an attack can be difficult.
If you’ve been assaulted overseas, all of World Nomads travel insurance policies have the following benefits which can help patch you up and get you on the road to recovery:
Depending on the policy you buy and your Country of Residence, you may also be covered for counselling following an assault - the policy wording will have full details.
If you’re injured, hospitalised or suffer psychological trauma as a result of an assault, you, a member of your traveling party, or a friend or a close relative must contact our 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team as soon as reasonably possible to confirm cover, manage costs and any potential claim.
Our Emergency Assistance Teams have experience understanding and liasing with medical providers on the ground, so that you can get the care you need, when you need it.
Travel insurance is designed for when things unexpectedly happen to you. If you pick a fight and end up coming out worse for wear, we're going to take that into account and may decide you won't be covered because you've put yourself at risk. All policies have limitations, conditions and exclusions, which are explained fully in the policy wording.
If during your trip you are assaulted and suffer injury or psychological trauma, we’ll pay your expenses to visit a psychiatrist or registered counsellor overseas, up to the amount shown in the Summary of Cover.
Please note: coverage depends on your Country of Residence and on the level of cover, Standard vs Explorer, you have selected. For example, US residents are not covered for counselling under World Nomads policies.
If you’re a victim of an assault (e.g., a mugging or hijack) and suffer a severe injury or psychological trauma, we may cover you if the medical practitioner overseas and our Emergency Assistance team agree that it's medically necessary to repatriate you home.
If you’re a victim of an assault (e.g., a mugging, kidnap or hijack) and suffer a severe injury or psychological trauma, we may cover you if the medical practitioner overseas and our Emergency Assistance team agree that its medically necessary to repatriate you home. Cover will be up to the cost of an economy class airfare and related traveling expenses, as approved by us.
Please note: coverage depends on your Country of Residence and on the level of cover, Standard vs Explorer, you have selected.
You will be covered for any sexually transmitted diseases or sexually transmitted infections; however, this will ONLY be covered when contracted through an assault.

During my holiday in Sydney , Australia, I was physically assaulted by a man while jogging. The attacker approached me and severely punched me in a face. I fell on the ground and almost lost consciousness with blood coming out of my right eye and nose. I was laying on cement pathway crying and screaming for help. Shortly after, I was seen by group of teenagers walking nearby and they ran to help me. Those people called an ambulance and police. I was taken to hospital and had x-rays and other medical treatments provided. My right eye orbit was broken and I was advised by doctors to have a risky and complicated surgery on low eye orbit to prevent possible vision loss and other complications.

How travel insurance could help if your passport is stolen while traveling.
As featured in:
Having your passport stolen can cause significant interruptions to your trip. While you can easily replace a stolen pair of shoes or a t-shirt, it is much more complicated to replace a passport.
Some of our travel insurance policies can come in handy with your emergency passport expenses, and others can help with related expenses such as rearranging your trip while you wait for your replacement or cancellation if your trip can't go ahead.

Your policy wording will always have the full details of what you’re covered for. If you have questions about what's covered and not covered, just ask us.
Here are the steps to follow if your passport is stolen while traveling:
If your passport is stolen, you must, as soon as possible, notify your government’s nearest passport office or report the loss to the nearest diplomatic or consular mission. You must provide us with copies of all documentation provided by the government agency.
Report the passport theft or loss to the police as well as to the common carrier, service provider or other local authority (e.g. tour operator/accommodation/travel provider manager or security personnel) as soon as reasonably possible after discovery. If you do not comply with this condition, it may impact your ability to make a claim under this policy.
Provide a copy of the full, written police report of what has happened with your claim. If in exceptional circumstances you cannot notify the local police or other appropriate authority (i.e. due to imminent departure), you must notify the 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team or us as soon as reasonably possible.
The above features and benefits are a summary of cover only. Take the time to read the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions in the policy wording for full details so that there are no surprises if you need to use it. If you’re not sure if something is covered, get in touch.

Get the travel insurance you need for your Schengen visa
As featured in:
The Schengen Agreement allows residents of certain European countries to travel freely around the Schengen Area as though it's a single country. For travelers from other countries, you need to get a valid Schengen visa to do the same. Before you can get your visa, you'll need valid and adequate travel insurance.
The minimum coverage a travel insurance policy must have for the Schengen visa is €30,000. This is to cover any expenses that might arise if you suddenly and unexpectedly require, such as:
All World Nomads travel insurance policies offer cover for these benefits, although the limits vary and may not meet the visa requirement, depending on your Country of Residence. When you go to get a quote, it’s a good idea to match up the coverage limits with your visa requirements.
Make sure that your travel insurance is valid for the entire period of your stay (or transit) in the Schengen area. Our travel insurance policies are easily bought online, so you can buy what you need when you need it. Visa limits may change.
Coverage depends on your Country of Residence and varies between plans.
A key requirement for getting a Schengen Visa is to have travel insurance covering you in all states in the Schengen Area. The easiest way to do this is to consider travel insurance. You can easily get a quote with World Nomads which offers two plans, Standard vs Explorer.
Not all travelers require a Schengen Visa to travel to the Schengen Area, as some countries including the USA, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, and Canada have visa-free arrangements with the Schengen Zone. However, it’s still recommended you buy travel insurance should something go wrong on your trip, such as, your bags go missing or you have valuables stolen, you suffer an injury, your trip is canceled or delayed, or you may need cover for more than 150 activities, sports, and experiences.
If you are planning to travel to more than one Schengen country or want to be flexible with your itinerary, it is also a great way to ensure you are covered in the majority of countries in Europe.
As Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to cause disruptions to international travel plans, even if you do have a Schengen visa, you may not be able to enter certain countries in the EU if travel restrictions or a travel ban is imposed due to a COVID-19 outbreak.
Many EU member states may also require international travelers to undergo a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test and test negative, and to quarantine on arrival. It is always a safe bet to check government websites for any last-minute travel bans or warnings and the World Health Organization (WHO) website for any COVID-19-related updates.
As always, you should spend some time researching the countries you are intending to travel to, as there may be a ‘Do Not Travel’ warning put in place at a moment’s notice or quarantine and vaccination requirements could be imposed.
We have compiled some of our most read articles that cover many questions and have the latest information regarding Schengen visa requirements and other visa information. See below:
The above features and benefits are a summary of cover only. Take the time to read the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions in the policy wording for full details so that there are no surprises if you need to use it. If you’re not sure if something is covered, get in touch.
With World Nomads you can buy travel insurance before you go or when you're already traveling any time anywhere 24-hours a day. Get an instant quote today.
Depending on the Schengen country where you are applying for the visa, they may ask you for a letter from the insurer. If this is the case, feel free to contact us and we’ll provide this to you. There will be a couple of days turnaround time, so take this into consideration when you're planning your trip.
We're not able to sign any third party documentation to confirm coverage.

Natural disasters not only cause physical harm, they also shut down airports, wipe out accommodation and cancel trips. While natural disasters are unpredictable, some give off enough warning so you're not caught off guard.
While you can’t control the weather, you can do your part to insure yourself against unexpected weather events. If you don’t want to risk it, you should consider travel insurance on your next trip just in case it gets cancelled, or you become stranded overseas and need to pay for additional accommodation and flights.
If you’re affected by a natural disaster, you may be able to make a claim for:
For World Nomads policies that do cover natural disasters in one way or another, you'll need to have bought a policy before the natural disaster event is known and do everything you can to minimize your expenses.
For example, if you’re a UK resident, you’ll be covered for reasonable additional accommodation (room only) and transport costs (Economy Class) you incur during your trip, if you’ve taken out the Explorer plan and you:
Always read the policy wording as you go through the purchase path, as there are terms and conditions, limits and exclusions on the cover. Cover will depend on your Country of Residence and which plan – Standard vs Explorer – you buy.
Travel insurance tip: If your destination is impacted by a natural catastrophe or severe weather then you must contact our 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team as soon as possible so we are advised of the situation. If you do not comply with this condition, it may impact what we pay you for your claim.
For more information regarding cover for natural disaster check out our Help Center article - Am I covered for a natural disaster? Just pick your country of residence in the country picker at the top of the page to access the latest information.

If you’re traveling to a region that’s known for natural disasters, it's a good idea to do some research to see if there have been any warnings. If you buy a policy after an event is known, and the natural disaster impacts your trip, you won’t be covered for any expenses.

One night, I was on the surf charter boat, in the Mentawai Islands, Sumatra, Indonesia. There was an earthquake and tsunami that hit and completely destroyed the boat. The boat caught fire. The fire spread rapidly and we had to abandon ship. The boat along with all personal belongs were completely destroyed. The fire spread so quickly that there was no time to collect any belongings. The only things I ended up with were the shorts I was wearing, my watch and wedding ring. Almost all my possessions and documentation were on the boat and destroyed.

Traveling is expensive and accidents can be even more so. Get covered by World Nomads Travel Insurance.
As featured in:
I just wanted to let everyone know how deeply and forever grateful I am for all the help I received from World Nomads insurance in one of my more painful and scary moments of my life. I never wished or intended to EVER use my insurance, and I have never used any of the ones I had in previous travels, but this time a sudden and excruciating stomach pain forced me to the Hospital while being in Thailand (Chiang Mai Ram Hospital). I thought I would get the right antibiotic and more powerful meds through an IV and end of story. But no, the actual case was that my appendix was inflamed and infected, and the only way of dealing with this was surgery. I just couldn't believe it! So yeah, it was scary, I was alone, and they were awesome, replied right away through e-mail, which was fantastic because I did not have time to make phone calls, then alongside the International Patient Services from the Hospital, took care of everything and saved my life. I just want everyone to be aware of the importance of having insurance, and a good one, even if they think they're healthy and nothing bad is going to happen, unexpected things happen all the time, and it can ruin your fun AND your budget. I am very thankful I had my World Nomads insurance by my side, and you can be sure I will always have it on every future trip.

It was my final day in Riga, Latvia. In my small bag I keep all my valuables, because hostels can't always be reliable with safekeeping. It contained my new GoPro, Iphone, digital camera, laptop and hard drive, plus my emergency money (200 euros). I planned on using my cameras and computer for editing later that afternoon. The coast was amazing and, as it got late, I decided to take the train back to Riga city. As I was getting off the train, down the vertical steep steps, I had my bag snatched off my shoulder. In seconds, the doors closed and the train pulled off. Telling authorities on the platforms immediately, they could not assist and referred me straight to the police. Feeling helpless, I went to the police where I was kept for hours, because of English barriers and translations of documents. I walked out just after midnight with my report. A day trip I won't forget soon.
