How does travel insurance cover my holiday?

We know the most unexpected things can happen when traveling - sex accidents, malaria, chikungunya. We've even heard of coral being firmly lodged in a traveler's bum after a surfing accident. 

So we've built our policies to help cover as many of those unexpected situations as we can. All of our policies have cover for: 

  • Overseas Medical
  • Luggage/baggage cover
  • Cancellation
  • 24/7 worldwide assistance

World Nomads travel insurance also:

What’s not covered on holiday travel insurance?

We've seen some pretty strange things on the road. Some of the exclusions include:

  • If you do something illegal
  • Where you've been acting like a fool
  • If you’ve had drugs or alcohol
  • Any costs associated with an STD 

This isn't a complete list of things that aren't covered. Be sure to read the policy wording before you buy so that you're aware of the terms and conditions. 

Gastro.

I attended hospital because of abdominal pain during the night. They performed a lab analysis, abdominal ulstrasound and CT scan. They wanted to rule out an appendicitis. I received serum and was finally diagnosed with gastroenteritis and discharged around 6 in the afternoon.
