Official starting point

World Nomads official travel-insurance site

Use the official site to identify the current plan name, policy certificate, state-specific form, underwriter, assistance channel and claim instructions. Product names and benefits can change.

Activity coverage

Read the activity list and required plan or activity level for the exact activity. Do not rely on a general claim that adventure travel is covered.

Country of residence

Plan availability and wording can differ by where the traveler lives, so use the correct residence when reviewing coverage.

Purchase and extension

If buying or extending while abroad is important, verify the current waiting period and eligibility conditions.
