Travel insurance isn’t just for long-term travelers. Things can go wrong on any trip, even a weekend getaway to Mexico. That’s why World Nomads offers travel insurance* plans for US residents from one day to 180 days for trips over 100 miles from home.

What you're covered for

We offer four plans - Standard, Explorer, Epic or Annual - and each offers different levels of coverage. It is up to you to choose what plan has the right level of coverage to meet your travel needs. You should think about travel insurance in buckets: protecting you, your stuff and your investment. Look at your vacation details and then make sure you are covered appropriately in all those buckets. You can’t upgrade your coverage after you purchase a plan, so it’s important to get this right on the first go. World Nomads plans offer coverage for up to 180 days at a time with the Standard, Explorer, and Epic plans. And if you plan to take numerous trips during the year, then the Annual Multi-Trip plan could be best for you. That plan has a maximum trip length of 45 days.

Our various travel insurance plans for US travelers may cover you for emergency medical, evacuation, cancellation, interruption, baggage, and may help with the recovery of missed, prepaid, non-refundable trip costs when you cancel for a covered reason. We also cover over 250 adventure activities and offer optional cancel-for-any-reason coverage (depending on the plan you choose). And if you decide to travel longer, World Nomads lets you buy more coverage on the road.

World Nomads travel insurance also:

  • Makes it easy to buy and claim online, even if you’re traveling
  • Provides you free access to travel safety advice for your next adventure
  • Gives you 24hr / 7 day emergency assistance in various languages

A True Claims Story

Never travel without insurance. This was the first time I ever purchased travel insurance and I am so glad I did. A few days into my trip to Spain I twisted my foot heading down to the metro. Thanks to World Nomads I was able to get medical attention in Spain and since, as luck would have it, I had a fracture that required surgery, they got me a flight home the next day. Filing a claim was surprisingly easy and when the claim was finally processed, I was reimbursed for all of my expenses including things like the extra week in the hotel I didn't get to take advantage of.
