The World Nomads website is temporarily unavailable while we complete system changes as part of the global sale of World Nomads to its new owner, IMG. IMG is working hard behind the scenes to reflect the change in ownership and ensure a smooth transition. Our technical teams are implementing these changes to ensure a seamless customer experience and expect the website to be available again within approximately 2 hours.
Thank you for your patience while we complete this work.
Rest assured, your insurance benefits, coverage, and plan terms will not change as a result of this transaction. Your existing claims, customer service inquiries, and plan servicing will continue without interruption.
If you require urgent assistance while our website is unavailable, our Emergency Assistance team is available 24/7. For all other enquiries, please contact our Customer Service team in your location here.

If you've had to interrupt your trip and return home because you were sick or injured overseas, or one of your close relatives has been hospitalised or has died, certain World Nomads policies can cover reasonable transport and accommodation expenses to get you back on the road so that you can finish your trip.
Your policy still needs to be valid when you resume your trip and needs to be the one that you were traveling on when you had to return home.
Cover depends on your country of residence, and the limits depends on the policy that you choose, so make sure you read your policy carefully.
| Country of residence | Trip Resumption Cover |
|---|---|
| Australia | |
| Brazil | |
| Canada | |
| Ireland | Explorer plan only. |
| New Zealand | |
| United Kingdom | Explorer plan only. |
| USA | |
| All other countries |
This is not a full list of what's covered and not covered. There are item limits and conditions that apply, so for more information check out our article on trip resumption and read your policy carefully before you buy.
Depending on your claim, you'll need copies of:
My Grandmother suffered an acute Subarachnoid Haemorrhage after having a fall and was subsequently placed in Palliative Care in November. I received a phone call to return home as my Grandmother only had a few days to live according to the doctors. I returned home and she passed away. I then recommenced my travels after her passing and funeral.
