Travel insurance for Canadians.

World Nomads is specially designed for adventurous independent travellers. We aim to keep you out of trouble but be there for you should trouble land at your feet. Our insurance is focused on what really matters, medical and emergency evacuation although it also covers other areas such as your baggage and cancellation costs.

Overseas medical expenses

Following an injury or illness during your journey your policy covers reasonable costs for Medical, in-hospital, road ambulance and other treatment administered by a registered medical practitioner or paramedic.

Medical transportation

If you require transportation to an appropriate medical facility to treat your injury or illness or to return you to your province or territory of residence, your policy will cover the reasonable and necessary transportation costs when pre-approved and arranged by Mondial Assistance Canada.

Baggage cover

You are covered for accidental theft or damage to your luggage/personal belongings. Coverage is limited to $500 per item. Exclusions apply, including items left unattended in a motor vehicle.

Sporting equipment

This policy provides coverage should your sporting equipment become lost by the Common Carrier, or damaged, or stolen provided you have taken all reasonable measures to protect, save and recover your property at all times. Coverage is secondary to any coverage provided by the Common Carrier.

Trip cancellation & interruption

Trip Cancellation coverage reimburses you for the non-refundable portion of your pre-paid trip costs if you cancel your transportation/accommodation arrangements prior to your departure as a result of a covered reason. Trip Interruption coverage reimburses you for covered losses you incur for trips that are interrupted or delayed after your departure date.

Travel accident cover

This policy provides coverage should you suffer loss of life as the direct result of an injury while travelling as a ticketed passenger on a licensed Common Carrier.
