The good news is that you don’t need a return ticket to buy this travel insurance.
As we’ve recently changed our insurer, please select the date range you bought (or will buy) your policy:
Policies purchased on or after 27 June 2024 (GMT)
Policies purchased before 27 June 2024 (GMT)
For policies purchased on or after 27 June 2024:
Under a UK Single Trip policy, you can start and end your journey anywhere in the world with or without a ticket home. Waiting periods may apply and there is no cover for pre-existing medical conditions.
Be aware that:
- The cost of your return ticket is considered part of any normal trip cost and therefore it isn’t covered under this policy. If you must cut your trip short and return home to the UK for a covered reason but you don't have a return ticket, there’s no cover to claim for the cost of any return ticket. The cost of an economy fare return ticket will be deducted from your overall claim.
- The policy covers emergency overseas medical expenses only and will not cover you for general health checks or vaccinations required for the purposes of obtaining a visa.
The policy isn’t designed to cover everything. Take the time to read the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions in the policy wording for full details on what is and isn’t covered especially the general exclusion and the specific exclusions under all sections of the policy. That way there are no surprises if you need to use it.
Note: For policies purchased on or after 27 June 2024, your World Nomads policy is underwritten by Collinson Insurance. For policies purchased June 27 2024, your World Nomads policy is underwritten by Inter Partner Assistance S.A..
For policies purchased before 27 June 2024:
