File your claim online 24/7
Having been on the road for long periods ourselves, we know that waiting until you get home to file a claim isn’t always ideal. World Nomads gives you the freedom to make a claim from wherever you are and whenever you like, so you can keep traveling.
Before you start
- Scan receipts for your belongings before you depart on your trip.
- Injury or illness when traveling? Call our 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team for immediate help.
- Report any losses or damage of your baggage to your travel provider, and keep a copy of the paperwork. Ask for compensation from your travel provider first before you file a travel insurance claim.
- Theft at your destination? Report it to the police as soon as possible.
- Report any medical expenses incurred to your primary insurance first. Send us a copy of any expenses they denied to pay.
- Gather any other documentation that may be related to your claim (i.e. new flight itinerary, jury order, etc.).
