Good Points: Easy Online Claims, Fast Processing, Great Coverage.
General comments: My wife developed complications during her pregnancy while abroad and covered with World Nomads travel insurance (met their guidelines for coverage). World Nomads provided a guarantee to a hospital when she was hospitalized over night resulting in direct compensation. They also covered all prescriptions and other related medical charges ($1,800) and processed the claim within days after receiving all the documentation. I would recommend copying all receipts in case there is any issues. We were very satisfied with the results of our claim after wondering if we would be out in the dark when we did need them. World Nomads came through with their insurance in a very timely fashion! Will definitely buy again.

I got dengue fever in Thailand in March, I got really sick.
I paid the insurance 5 days before I got sick but the insurance started 2 days before I had to go to the hospital. You choose how many weeks you want to be insured and I thought I could cut one week short and still be insured until I flew to europe.
Big mistake to get sick after 2-3 days, I should have waited another day to go to hospital but I was really sick.
Anyway I got no help from World nomads and I will never be insured with them ...

I have used World nomads insurance couple of time.Only and first time claim experience wasn't good. I was suffering from Flu right after my policy got active.My claim got denied and i informed that need to wait at least three days before i can make any claim. This was really misleading information since my policy says it is active. I would say way to make money from majority of people who don't read small prints. Remember"master minded business idea always bold"

I have taken out three policies with World Nomads over the last two years and would not hesitate to go with them again for a fourth term. Being a Brit, I was initially concerned about choosing an insurance company based in Australia - mainly because of the time difference and cost of calls in event of a problem claiming - but everything was handled online. They even accepted scanned copies of my proof of purchases/receipts/bills. Highly recommended.
Based in Australia although they have offices ...

Hello everyone! I travelled to South Africa and I had my insurance with World Nomads. While I was there the driver of the truck of our safari decided to drive into a flooded river, which made our truck fall off a bridge and started to sink into the river. We had to be rescued by the red cross helicopter and almost got killed. I started to had nightmares and went to the doctor who said that I had post traumatic stress disorder and recommended to come back to the UK ASAP. I contacted the emergency ...

I expected to be away from Australia for 12 months, so I took out a 12 month travel insurance policy with World Nomads. After 5 months I injured my knee, sought treatment at a hospital and was told to monitor it. After 5 1/2 months I had to return home to help someone in the family who was suffering badly from depression. The mental health of the traveller or their family is not covered, so I had to foot the bill myself. Fine, I thought, I'll just get a return ticket and continue my trip afte ...

I was very impressed all round with World Nomads insurance and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others or use them again myself.

World Nomads would have to be the easiest insurance policy I've ever bought online. The site is really easy to use and the amount of activities they cover is amazing (skiing, bungy jumping, white water rafting to mention a few).
The ability to purchase whilst away from home is really excellent, and the fact that if you want to stay away longer that you can extend, well I don't know any other company that allows that.
The free SMS travel alerts are really handy and the travel blogs are exce ...
