If you're a digital nomad and don’t have health insurance coverage abroad, travel insurance can help with unexpected illness and injury.
Trusted by:
As a digital nomad, the world is your office. There are endless possibilities of where you can plant yourself with a laptop and roam.
World Nomads’ travel insurance plans are designed to adapt to the choice and flexibility of your lifestyle on the road. You can purchase a policy for periods of up to 180 days (or several plans for continuous coverage). You can even buy your travel insurance post-departure.
In today’s tech-centric world, taking your gadgets on the road is just as common and essential as packing an extra pair of socks. That's why our travel insurance plans have been designed for digital nomads.
World Nomads may be able to replace, repair or recover the costs of your personal tech devices when stolen, lost or damaged under your supervision. Benefits are available only after exhausting other sources of compensation, such as from your airline or other transportation carrier.
Remember, depreciation and wear and tear are taken into account, and claims are subject to per item and total maximum benefit amounts.
Another important consideration for traveling for extended periods is health insurance. What should you do if you get into an accident or get terribly sick?
First things first. You shouldn’t think of travel insurance as a replacement for a health care plan that you would purchase at home — or depend on the charity of another country to pick up your medical bills. Travel insurance won’t pay for everyday or preventative care, such as allergy medications, birth control pills, nutritional consultations or the CBD cream that could relieve the back pain that’s been nagging you for years. But a snake bite, bout with food poisoning or ski accident? You can count on World Nomads plans to come in handy during medical emergencies — and that includes evacuation when you need to get to a hospital urgently or back to the United States for care.
When you’re far from home, the last thing you want to do is to face a crisis alone. Don’t forget about our 24/7 Emergency Assistance team. You can — and should — contact us when you find yourself in an urgent situation. Besides offering hospital and physician referrals (we vet our providers very carefully), the team can make sure you get negotiated rates and provide other methods of support, such as notifying your family or even arranging food delivery to your hospital room.

On an overnight train from Mumbai to Jodhpur in India, I had the top sleeper berth. It was a very bumpy ride, and my tote bag tipped over while I was sleeping. I got woken up by the sound of my camera hitting the floor. When I picked it up, the display screen on the back of the camera was grey/black and hasn't worked since.
