Trip Resumption: What's covered by travel insurance?
If you've had to interrupt your trip and return home because you were sick or injured while abroad, or one of your close relatives has been hospitalised or has died, certain World Nomads policies can cover reasonable transport and accommodation expenses to get you back on the road so that you can finish your trip.
Your policy still needs to be active when you resume your trip and it needs to be the same one that you were travelling on when you had to return home.
Note: Cover depends on your country of residence, and the limits depends on the policy that you choose, so make sure you read your policy carefully.

Grandma in palliative care.
My Grandmother suffered an acute Subarachnoid Haemorrhage after having a fall and was subsequently placed in Palliative Care in November. I received a phone call to return home as my Grandmother only had a few days to live according to the doctors. I returned home and she passed away. I then recommenced my travels after her passing and funeral.

Does my insurance pay upfront or do I have to pay and claim?
You'll need to pay and claim for your expenses to resume your trip.
-
Is there an excess?
Yes, all policies which cover trip resumption have an excess.
-
If my policy has expired, can I still claim for resumption?
