With all the excitement of packing your bags, jumping on a plane, and jetting off to a faraway destination, travel insurance may be the last thing on your mind. You may be asking yourself “Can I buy travel insurance after departure?” The answer is yes!
If you’ve left home without travel insurance or your policy has run out while you’re still on the road, don’t panic. World Nomads has got you covered with simple and flexible travel insurance plans that you can buy online, anytime, from anywhere in the world.
It’s easy - all you need is a good internet connection. Head to our website to get a quote. Answer a few simple questions about your trip and follow the prompts that will outline the coverage and benefits we offer. We offer two plans – Standard and Explorer – you can compare them when you get a quote and select the one that best suits your needs. Then read and accept the terms and conditions, pay for your insurance, and you’re done.
If you buy a policy while traveling, waiting periods, conditions and restrictions may apply. World Nomads policies for U.S. residents take effect at 12:01am local time the day after you purchase your policy. So, if you’re already traveling and want to get coverage for a day trip or ski weekend, you’ll need to buy your insurance at least the day before you need coverage.
Also remember that travel insurance doesn’t cover pre-existing conditions or known events, so we think it’s a good idea to buy your travel insurance as soon as possible, so you’ll be covered for that future illness, future named hurricane, etc. The future you will thank you!
We’ve designed our travel insurance to be simple, flexible and include the things our travelers have told us are most important to them.
Both our Standard and Explorer plans offer coverage, up to the policy limits, for the following, when you need it the most:
Our policies aren’t designed to cover everything, so take the time to read the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions in the policy wording for full details so that there are no surprises if you need to use it. If you’re not sure if something is covered get in touch.
