How to claim on your travel insurance

If you're already a World Nomads member, you'll just need to sign in, follow the claims path and attach your supporting documents.

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

The claims process for World Nomads was painless and really intuitive.

I was pickpocketed while in Mexico City and had my recently new iPhone 6S stolen, as well as my credit card and driver’s license. The claims process for World Nomads was painless and really intuitive, logging everything online. The resolution was extremely fair and would be happy to recommend World Nomads to anyone.
