Learn how trip interruption cover can help if your plans get unexpectedly sidetracked.
Trusted by:
As travelers ourselves, we have experienced some of the cool surprises you can encounter on your adventures. For example, trekking through Iceland, you may get to see nature’s best light show if you are lucky enough to catch the Northern Lights.
Not all unforeseen surprises are as dazzling though. Sickness, injuries, or family emergencies are just a few of the unanticipated things that can abruptly put a halt to your fun. Because you can never predict an interruption in your travels, you may want to consider travel insurance.
A trip interruption is something that happens that causes you to end your trip early, or makes you unable to participate in your full planned itinerary. If you get severely injured or sick while you are traveling, or you get a call from back home and learn that an immediate family member has unexpectedly passed away, you may not be able to complete the rest of your planned trip.
World Nomads offers trip interruption coverage as a part of our adventure travel insurance policies, and it may help you get reimbursed for prepaid, non-refundable travel costs if your plans change for a covered reason.
For example, if you paid in advance for flights and hotels, but you broke your leg and can’t continue your trip, you may get reimbursed if you can’t recover those costs from the travel supplier.
Sometimes you may deal with an interruption that causes you to miss part of your trip, but you are able to rejoin it before it is over. If that happens, you may be able to recover costs for transportation arrangements that you make in order to catch-up with your trip.
If a travel companion becomes sick or hurt and you are forced to stay longer because they are unable to travel, your plan may offer coverage for additional nights in a hotel.
If you have to go home early for a covered reason, you could also be covered for transportation costs.
U.S. residents may have coverage for reasons such as:
Only you can decide what plan is best for you. World Nomads offers two options - the Standard and Explorer plan. The Explorer plan has higher limits and sub-limits of coverage, and includes more covered activities.
Maximum benefits can be found in the Schedule of Benefits in your policy wording, and are subject to any applicable sub-limits. You can get a quote to compare both plans side by side and learn more about everything that is covered. If you have questions, contact our team and they will be happy to assist.
Trip Cancellation coverage is what kicks in if you need to cancel your trip for a covered reason, before you’ve departed for your trip.
Trip Delay coverage may help when your trip gets delayed for more than 6 hours because of a defined hazard, like an unannounced strike, a weather delay or a lost or stolen passport.
Trip Interruption coverage is when something happens in the middle of the trip and you’re unable to continue on as planned.
In addition to trip interruption a World Nomads travel insurance policy may help with several other unexpected and unforeseen emergency situations you may encounter while you are on your trip. For U.S. residents, World Nomads may also offer coverage for:
If you set forth on your journey and just aren’t feeling the vibe of the destination or your travel partner, trip interruption won’t cover any costs involved with ending your trip early. Some other things that may not be covered include:
