Get covered by World Nomads, even if you're already on the road.

We know it can be easy to forget to buy travel insurance when you’re planning a much-needed overseas holiday. If you’ve left the UK without travel insurance, or your policy is due to expire and you’re still on the road, you can still purchase travel insurance with World Nomads.
Waiting periods can apply whether you have boarded your transportation for international departure or even if you have simply left your home for a domestic trip within the UK (Annual Multi-Trip only).
If you are already travelling and have left the UK all you need is a stable internet connection and you can buy or extend your travel insurance anytime, anywhere.
If you buy a policy while travelling, waiting periods, conditions and restrictions on cover do apply.
You may have to wait 72 hours (waiting period) before any cover is activated, depending on when you purchase your policy as explained in ‘When cover starts & ends’ in your policy wording. This means certain benefits (such as our pre-trip cancellation cover) may not apply as you’ve already started your trip.
Most policies can cover you straight away if you're injured in an accident after you buy a policy. Your Policy Wording will have full details to understand the cover, limits and exclusions.

In the 25th of December I woke up feeling nausea, fever, headache, and lethargy. After two days with the symptoms not ceasing I went to a clinic and was admitted with severe malaria. I stayed in the hospital for two days taking shots for malaria and also saline drip.

You are not eligible to buy a policy if you travel against medical advice, travel with the intention of receiving medical treatment, or have a terminal illness. World Nomads policies cannot cover claims due to Pre-Existing Medical Conditions (PEMC), regardless of whether the condition is serious or not. You can still purchase a World Nomads policy, but the PEMC exclusion cannot be removed, and you will be responsible for any related costs.
For information on travel insurance providers that offer cover on PEMC, visit Money Helper or call 0800 138 7777.
