One of the best things about road trips is the freedom to explore at your own pace, an on our own terms. Travel insurance is designed for many modes of transport, but there are specific reasons why it’s important for road trips.
Anything from falling ill to jury duty can prevent you from taking your trip. With this coverage, you may be able to recuperate your pre-paid, non-refundable deposits.
Safety is a priority when you’re getting behind the wheel and traveling to new destinations. A trip protection plan can buffer the hazards of being on the road.
Car breakdowns and traffic accidents can put a dent in your wallet (as well as your car) if you don’t have vehicle coverage. Some World Nomads plans offer damage collision waiver coverage depending on your country of residence and your choice of a Standard or Explorer plan.
If you’re in a crisis, whether you’re stranded in the middle of nowhere or need urgent medical attention, our Emergency Assistance team is available 24/7 in whatever part of the world you’re traveling.
You may need help getting your trip back on track when you encounter problems whether that be a sudden illness, or an incident caused by bad weather.
If thieves break into your hotel room, you can make a claim for a replacement or a reimbursement of your stolen items.

We parked a rental car in the parking lot of a restaurant in Haut Bay, an area of Cape Town. After eating dinner, we returned to the car to find that a window had been broken and anything within easy reach had been stolen. Luckily for us, we had been smart enough to bring our very expensive camera inside the restaurant with us, only leaving behind the case and an extra lens.

What you should consider when buying travel insurance for a trip to France.
Trusted by:
Steeped in cultural icons, surrounded by some of the world’s best mountains and coastlines, and with more delicious cheese and wine than you could ever want, it’s understandable why France is high on many traveler’s itineraries.
Here are some of the highlights of our coverage, depending on your Country of Residence and the plan you’ve selected:
Please note that 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.
France is Europe’s 3rd largest country, which means there is a lot to see and do. In most cases, traveling goes without a hitch, but considering the right travel insurance for you can take the added stress out of travel if things don’t go to plan.
Families
Traveling as a family can be an incredibly rewarding experience, and France is the perfect destination with plenty of family-friendly locations and activities on offer. Our policies can help cover for medical emergency, pregnancy and Covid, trip interruption and also provide 24/7 worldwide emergency assistance. Cover includes two adults and up to eight dependents on one policy.
Multi-Destination Trips
If you’re making your way around Europe and visiting France on your travels, travel insurance can cover medical emergencies and evacuation, stolen items, and more than 150 adventures, sports and activities including volunteering and working.
If you’re traveling to multiple European countries, World Nomads can help with:
Summer Adventures
You can enjoy your summer travels around France knowing our policies may cover you for a range of activities including hiking trips around the mountains of Chamonix, road trips in Provence, kayaking & rafting and even sailing the Cote D’Azur.
We offer two plans depending on your country of residence – Standard and Explorer. Each policy provides different levels of coverage depending on what you need:
Simply specify all the activities you have planned for your trip when you get your quote, as you can’t add them afterwards. Terms and conditions apply, check your Policy Wording for details or contact us.
Winter Travel
From taking the family ice-skating on the rink at Champs-Elysees, to hunting for black truffles in the snow-dusted forests of Perigord, or sipping hot chocolate in between snowboard sessions in the French Alps, our travel insurance can cover you for more than 150 adventures, snow and winter sports activities, medical emergencies and even extended stays if you are enjoying your winter escape to France too much.
Our policies aren’t designed to cover everything and there are some important general exclusions you should be aware of, including:
Note: be sure to read the Policy Wording, terms, conditions and General Exclusions for other scenarios and expenses we don’t cover so there’ll be no surprises if you need to use your cover.
This is not a full list of what's covered and what's not; please check your Policy Wording for a full list of terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions that may apply to your specific plan. If you are unsure of your level of travel cover, please contact us for help.
