Planning an overseas holiday can be an overwhelming experience. With so many arrangements to be made prior to leaving, it’s easy to forget travel insurance during the flurry of preparations.
If you’ve already arrived at your overseas holiday destination and you realise that you forgot to buy travel insurance before leaving New Zealand, don’t panic. You can visit the World Nomads website at any time of the day or night to purchase a policy.
Similarly, New Zealand travellers whose travel insurance policies will expire during their trips, but who wish to stay on holidays longer, may also extend or buy a new policy.
When you’re on your overseas holiday, you don’t want to spend too long sitting in your hotel room reading through the fine print of an insurance policy. As there are so many exciting places to explore, you just want to get out and about. It can be tempting to rush into buying a policy, without taking the time to read through the Summary of Benefits and exclusions beforehand.
However, to avoid any surprises when making a claim, it’s a smart idea to become familiar with the various limits, benefits, available upgrades, terms and conditions before you buy a policy.
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.
However, if you have an accident and sustain a serious injury after being issued with your Certificate of Insurance, and before the 72-hour timeframe has lapsed, you may be covered for various expenses under your policy. Check your Policy Document for the complete list of what’s covered and what isn’t covered.
If your current travel insurance policy is due to expire soon, but you’re having too much fun and want to stay overseas for longer, rather than risk being without insurance, you can extend your existing policy.
You may extend your policy up to a maximum of 12 months from the policy commencement date which is indicated on your Certificate of Insurance. This must be done prior to 11:59pm NZST on the closing date of your current policy.
If you have any questions about purchasing travel insurance during your overseas holiday, please get in touch.
This information may help if things go wrong, and you want to make a claim. All travel insurance plans are different, and cover will vary, depending on what’s happened, your Country of Residence, the plan you choose and any options or upgrades you buy. Your Policy Document will always have the full details of what you’re covered for.
If you have any further questions about what’s covered and not covered, just ask us.

Four travel benefits you shouldn't leave home without
Trusted by:
Maybe your next trip won’t include crossing an ocean or boarding a plane. But just because you’re travelling within Brazil doesn’t mean that you won’t need backup if your travels take a turn for the worst.
World Nomads’ coverage starts when you leave your home province and provides essential protection against a wide range of mishaps that you could encounter on the road.
It doesn’t matter if you’re on a distant continent or in an adjacent state – you could sprain your ankle, get into a car accident, or get delayed by inclement weather just about anywhere. A good travel protection plan can help prevent any of these unexpected events from turning into full-blown disasters.
Accidents and emergencies can happen in your own backyard – which is why it’s important to consider these four main benefits of domestic travel insurance.
It is important that you read and understand your coverage. There are limits and exclusions that apply to all insured travellers.
Along with the benefits above, World Nomads travel insurance also includes important assistance services and features such as:
