How to claim on your travel insurance
If you're already a World Nomads member, you'll just need to sign in, follow the steps to start a new claim and attach your supporting documents.

Soon after you've lodged your claim, we'll email you a confirmation with a reference number, so you can keep track of your claim's progress.
Be prepared when you claim.

-
What can I claim for?
To give you an idea, some of the things can claim for are: overseas medical expenses, medical evacuation, cancellation costs, emergency dental treatment, luggage and personal effects.
-
Does my insurance cover medical costs upfront or do I have to pay and claim later?
Who pays depends on what’s happened! If it’s an emergency situation where hospital admission and/or medical evacuation is required, the insurer covers these costs upfront (provided the incident is covered as per the policy wording, of course).
-
I don't have receipts for my personal items. Can I still make a claim?
You can still lodge a claim. However, the team might depreciate or decline your claim without them.
