All plans include travel insurance coverage, as well as several additional non-insurance services that may support you both before and during your trip. These include delayed or lost baggage tracking and delivery, portable health records and pre-departure telehealth services.
World Nomads Travel Insurance for U.S. residents takes effect at 12:01am local time the day after you purchase your plan. So, if you’re already traveling and want to get coverage, you’ll need to purchase your plan at least the day before you need coverage.
You may want to consider purchasing your protection plan during the time sensitive period of 7 days after your initial trip deposit or payment. If you purchased the Explorer or Epic Plan, buying it in this time sensitive period unlocks additional insurance components and plan offerings that could be very valuable to you on your trip.
