Get back on track after your trip's been interrupted.
Trusted by:
If you've had to interrupt your trip and return home because you were sick or injured overseas, or one of your close relatives has been hospitalised or has died, certain World Nomads policies can cover reasonable transport and accommodation expenses to get you back on the road so that you can finish your trip.
Your policy still needs to be valid when you resume your trip and needs to be the one that you were traveling on when you had to return home.
Cover depends on your country of residence, and the limits depends on the policy that you choose, so make sure you read your policy carefully.

|---|---|
| Australia | |
| Brazil | |
| Canada | |
| Ireland | Explorer plan only. |
| New Zealand | |
| United Kingdom | Explorer plan only. |
| USA | |
| All other countries |

My Grandmother suffered an acute Subarachnoid Haemorrhage after having a fall and was subsequently placed in Palliative Care in November.

I then recommenced my travels after her passing and funeral.
