This page is for UK and Irish travellers. Looking for comprehensive travel insurance to cover your (or your child’s) adventure overseas? World Nomads has designed our travel insurance cover with the adventurous in mind and covers more activities up-front than most.
While we won't say our travel insurance is comprehensive (because it doesn't cover everything), our travelers get up to all sorts of different things, so we offer two levels of cover - Standard and Explorer, with options to include extra activities to cover both the more, and less, adventurous.
As you'd expect, every policy is different and as multiple benefits. However, all of them include:
You also have access to world Nomads’ community of like minded travelers, language guides, safety information, travel guides and more.
There are exclusions and limits which apply, so be sure to read the policy wording before you buy a policy.
If you put yourself in danger then we won’t cover you. This includes going to places you’re country of residence tells you not to, doing activities that you’re not qualified for or are too dangerous. We have a list of covered activities in our policies and if you’re not sure, give us a call and we’ll let you know if we’ll cover it or not.
Other things we won’t cover include:
This isn't a full list of what is and isn't covered. Make sure you read the policy wording and pay attentionn to the exclusions which apply.

World Nomads policies cannot cover claims due to Pre-Existing Medical Conditions (PEMC), regardless of whether the condition is serious or not (this includes if you're on separate or joint policies). You can still purchase a World Nomads policy, but the PEMC exclusion is not removable.
For travel insurance providers that offer cover on PEMC, visit the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) Money Helper website, or call 0800 138 7777. BIBA's (The British Insurance Brokers' Association) Find Insurance Service offers information on serious PEMCs and travel insurance providers that may cover these conditions. You can also contact them on 0370 950 1790.
If you need medical assistance or emergency medical evacuation our team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year before and during your trip.
Wherever you are, we’re here 24/7 to help you in any emergency.
