The good news is that you don’t need a return ticket to buy this travel insurance.
As we’ve recently changed our insurer, please select the date range you bought (or will buy) your policy:
Policies purchased on or after 1 Nov 2018 (GMT)
Policies purchased before 1 Nov 2018 (GMT)
Under an Irish policy, you can commence and end your journey anywhere in the world with or without a ticket home (if not an Irish citizen or resident as defined in the policy wording, please read the article 'Can I buy a policy while already travelling' for more information on eligibility).
The cost of your return ticket is considered part of any normal trip cost and therefore it isn’t covered under this policy. So if you must cut your trip short and return home to Ireland (depending on your country of residence) for a covered reason but you don't have a return ticket, there’s no cover to claim for any return ticket.
The policy covers emergency overseas medical expenses only and will not cover you for general health checks or vaccinations required for the purposes of obtaining a visa.
The policy isn’t designed to cover everything. Take the time to read the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions in the policy wording for full details on what is and isn’t covered especially the general exclusion and the specific exclusions under all sections of the policy. That way there are no surprises if you need to use it.
Note: For policies purchased after 1 August 2019, your World Nomads policy is backed by XL Insurance Company SE. For policies purchased between 1 November 2018 and 16 January 2019, your World Nomads policy is backed by certain underwriters at Lloyd’s. For policies purchased between 17 Jan 2019 and 31 July 2019, your World Nomads policy is backed by Lloyd’s Insurance Company SA.The good news is that you don’t need a return ticket to buy this travel insurance.
As Irish citizen, you can commence and end your journey anywhere in the world with or without a ticket home (if not a Irish citizen, do read the article 'Can I buy a policy while already travelling' for more information on eligibility).
Be aware that:
The policy isn’t designed to cover everything. Take the time to read the terms and conditions in the policy wording for full details on what is and isn’t covered. That way there are no surprises if you need to use it.
