Once you’re on the road and after the policy starts, you can:

  • Extend your policy online through your World Nomads membership. You must do it before 11:59pm GMT/BST on the end date shown on your Certificate of Insurance and it’s subject to the terms and conditions in your policy (Single Trip only).

Anytime:

  • View/print your Certificate of Insurance. We‘ll always store this in your membership.

Things you can’t change once the policy is issued:

  • Your contact details. Let us know if you’ve made a mistake with your name, date of birth or have moved to a new address or change phone numbers etc. and we can update this for you.
  • Your destinations. Contact us for advice if you change your itinerary or need to know if you’re already covered for a different country or region.
  • Adventure sports. All plans come with a range of adventure sports included.  It’s not possible to upgrade your cover once the policy is issued – Read this article on how adventure sports coverage works, then contact us to understand your options.
  • Upgrading your policy mid trip: Sorry, it’s not possible to change the cover you have during your trip.
  • Changing your mind to travel: You can’t cancel and get a refund once the refund (cooling off) period expires or if you’ve already started traveling. If we do decide to refund you in exceptional circumstances we will charge a premium for the time you have been covered and administrative fees.

Other mistakes:

If you’ve made any other mistake on your Certificate of Insurance or you’ve generally got issues, please contact us and we’ll try to fix it for you.
