You’ve got a one way ticket in your back pocket and plans for a great new job, life or adventure… but you’re not covered for the trip to get you there. That’s where World Nomads’ Single Trip Travel Insurance comes in, covering the gap between your old life and new.

Start your future on a high note

World Nomads offers single trip travel insurance to cover you and your personal items for as long as you need us to, whether it be a few days, a few weeks or even months, before you get to where you’re going.

Most of our travellers on a one way ticket are moving for a new job and are most concerned about cancellation or losing their baggage on the way.

We offer Standard or Explorer options with differing cover. It’s up to you to consider your requirements and match them up with the right cover for your needs.

Single Trip cover

All World Nomads policies cover those events our travellers most often encounter including:

We cover more than 150 activities and sports depending on the policy you choose and if it’s not on the list, contact us and we’ll let you know if we’ll cover it.

Exclusions

There are of course exclusions which apply. Some of the exclusions which may apply are:

  • Cancellation or other expenses if you change your mind and decide not to go.
  • You do anything illegal (You didn’t really think we’d cover that did you?)
  • If you’ve taken drugs or alcohol
  • Non-emergency treatment that can wait until you return home (it's not private health/medical insurance, it's for travel emergencies) 
  • Pre-existing medical conditions per the policy wording terms and conditions (with exceptions for pregnant mothers in some cases).

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.

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.
Claim Paid: €500
