World Nomads Travel Insurance

Since 2002, World Nomads have been protecting, connecting and inspiring independent travelers around the globe. Their travel insurance is designed specifically for adventurous travelers who need flexible coverage that keeps up with their lifestyle.

Unlike traditional insurance providers, World Nomads understands that travel does not always go according to plan. Their policies allow you to buy coverage at home or while already abroad, extend your period of cover at any time, and make claims online from anywhere in the world. This flexibility makes them a popular choice among backpackers, gap year travelers, and digital nomads.

World Nomads stands out for its adventure activity coverage, protecting travelers during more than 150 sports and activities that many traditional insurers exclude. Whether you are trekking in Nepal, diving in Thailand, or skiing in the Alps, World Nomads provides the specialist coverage adventurous travelers need.

World Nomads travel insurance is ideal for independent travelers, backpackers, adventure seekers, and gap year travelers who want reliable coverage without the constraints of traditional insurance. It is particularly well suited for:

• Adventure travelers who participate in activities like hiking, skiing, diving, or surfing that many standard policies exclude.
• Backpackers and gap year travelers who need flexible coverage they can extend while abroad.
• Independent travelers who prefer to organise their own trips rather than booking package holidays.
• Families looking for comprehensive coverage that also protects younger travelers during active holidays.
• Digital nomads who work remotely while traveling and need coverage that adapts to their lifestyle.

It is worth noting that World Nomads may not be the best choice for travelers with pre-existing medical conditions, those seeking the cheapest basic coverage, or travelers over 70 years of age. For these needs, consider comparing multiple providers on our insurance comparison page.

One of World Nomads' strongest selling points is coverage for more than 150 adventure sports and activities. This is significantly more than most travel insurance providers offer. Popular covered activities include:
