Support for a cancelled trip, stolen belongings, medical emergencies, and more

Often knackered after a long day of sightseeing and can’t think of anything better than ditching the jandals and settling in for a sunset drink on your private terrace? If this sounds like you, a private holiday crib is likely more your speed than a crowded hotel.
Whether renting out a cabin in the woods or a beach house there’s always the chance that the unexpected could happen and that’s where World Nomads Travel Insurance comes in.
Hopefully, the worst thing that happens when you’re staying at your cosy chalet in France is eating the free cheese and enjoying the wine too fast. But, if you find yourself in a pinch, travel coverage can save your sanity. When an emergency happens, it is as much a headache preventer as any dose of medicine. Think of good travel protection as having back-up on standby.
Booking hotels often seems so easy, but that’s just because it’s what we’re familiar with. As world travellers ourselves the team at World Nomads understands that steering toward a private rental may be a little nerve-wracking.
Following are just some of the things covered by World Nomads travel insurance. World Nomads offers coverage (up to the policy limits) for:
Travel insurance tip: holiday homes have various house rules about occupancy, minimum age requirements for the primary renter and so on. Do ensure you understand what you're agreeing to before booking to avoid potentially incurring any extra fees or losing your deposit.
Private holiday rentals differ greatly, not just when it comes to facilities and location, but also who you’re dealing with, what’s included and of course, what it will set you back financially.
World Nomads offers two plans – a Standard Plan and an Explorer Plan – each with different benefits, limits, and sub-limits of coverage.
Which policy you choose is up to you, but aside from any issues with your accommodation, the explorer plan can help if you’re planning on renting a vehicle or hiring sporting equipment; want to be covered for issues related to Coronavirus; and want reassurance that if you wind up in hospital you won’t be facing exorbitant out-of-pocket expenses.
Travel insurance tip: make sure you do your research on the countries you’re looking to visit to ensure that there are no government warnings or restrictions. Your policy will be jeopardised if something goes wrong and you fail to adhere to the warnings.

You should read your Policy Document in full, so you understand what is and isn’t covered. That way there won’t be any surprises if you need to use it. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
