What does long term travel insurance cover?

We know there’s nothing more exciting than heading overseas with a ticket in your back pocket. So we designed our policies to cover more than 150 activities, sports and experiences including casual bar work, skiing, zorbing and much more.

Our policies come with loads of benefits depending on the policy that you buy, but all of them cover:

What is the longest duration travel insurance can cover?

The maximum duration available for any policy, including extensions, is 12 months (365 days) from the start date shown on your Certificate of Insurance. 

How do I buy more travel insurance cover?

You can buy more cover, even if you’re already on the road. Generally cover can be purchased for up to a year, but if you want to extend your trip beyond one year, you just need to jump online to get a quote

You can’t upgrade your policy type once you’ve departed and started your holiday, so you’ll have to buy a new policy if you need more coverage. That’s why it’s critical you select the right level of cover up front.

Please note: if you plan to extend your policy you should do so several days before it expires, due to time differences and possible administrative delays. If your policy is extended, we will issue you with an updated Certificate of Insurance.

What’s not covered on long term travel insurance?

There’s a number of other exclusions so make sure you read your policy and know what you aren’t covered for. Exclusions include but aren't limited to:

  • Anything illegal (you didn’t really think we’d cover that did you?)
  • If you're under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Non-emergency treatment that can wait until you return home (it's not health insurance, it's for travel emergencies)
  • Ongoing medical treatment at home

It’s important to remember that World Nomads offers travel insurance… not private health/medical insurance. That means our policies won’t cover you for pre-existing medical conditions or ongoing medical care.

This is not a full list of what's covered and not covered. There are terms, limits, conditions and exclusions that may apply. Always read your policy wording carefully before you buy and make sure it’s right for you. If you have more questions get in touch.

Pregnancy Complications
