Do you really want cheap travel insurance?

Cheap Travel Insurance is only good if it protects you for those emergencies it’s supposed to protect you for.

Going too cheap can mean you’re not covered when it matters and if you’re not covered… your trip of a lifetime can get very expensive, very fast. That’s why at World Nomads we listened to our experienced travelers and designed the best travel insurance to match their high expectations, at an affordable price (but not the cheapest).

We’ve included the cover options you told us you couldn’t live without in every World Nomads policy including:

  1. Medical
  2. Cancellation
  3. Luggage cover
  4. 24/7 worldwide assistance

Travel insurance that has your back

As no two travelers are alike, we’ve designed a Standard and Explorer travel insurance option so you can choose whether you pay for the extra coverage or not.

If you’re planning travel to the U.S, or you're going off the beaten path, the Explorer may be more suited to you. Then again, you might be surprised by what is covered under the Standard travel insurance option.

All you need to do is tell us who you are, where you’re going and how long you’ll be gone for and we’ll generate your instant quote with all the details you need.

We know we're not the cheapest.....

And we don't pretend to be. With us you can travel with confidence, knowing you’ve got 24/7 traveler support, and insider information to help you plan your trip.

Swine Flu tests

Severe sore throat developed overnight becoming very bad by the morning of May 26, 2009. I visited the doctor who took a culture test for swine flu and prescribed some medicine. After a few days the sore throat got better and the culture test came back negative for swine flu. No further consultations were required.
