7 reasons to buy World Nomads Travel Insurance for your holidays

World Nomads Travel Insurance* can cover you this holiday season if:

1. You plan to hit the slopes or brush up your dog sledding skills.
   World Nomads travel insurance aims to keep you traveling safely. Our travel insurance is designed for adventurous travelers and covers most adventure sports worldwide including skiing, snowboarding, ice skating and dog sledding.
2. Your snowboard arrives in two pieces instead of one.
   If you are planning an active holiday, you'll probably need to bring your gear. If your sporting equipment is lost, damaged or stolen while travelling, World Nomads can cover the costs to replace or repair it.
3. Your skiing adventure ends in a sprained ankle (or all of that holiday family bonding leads to a coronary).
   Accidents happen when you least expect them to. With World Nomads, you can be covered abroad for medical treatment of any sudden and unexpected injuries or illnesses during your trip.
4. The Grinch steals your iPod.
   Make sure your new holiday gadgets return home with you. High value items such as jewelry, cameras, computers and other electronic equipment can be covered if lost, stolen or broken while traveling.
5. Your suitcase filled with reindeer sweaters for the whole family goes missing.
   During the holiday travel rush, baggage is more susceptible to getting lost, stolen or damaged en route to your destination. If your holiday gifts don't quite make the journey, we can reimburse you for your luggage value.
6. Another volcano with an unpronounceable name prevents you from attending your 10 year 'Hikers are Hellcats' Reunion.
   If your trip is canceled before you leave, or is interrupted after you've left, we can reimburse your cancellation costs (this can be for health, death, quarantine, transport and accommodation, legal, environment, canceled services, politics and violence, terrorism, work and U.S Armed Forces).
7. You met someone special under the mistletoe.
   Had a change in plans? Continue the holiday merriment by extending your World Nomads policy easily online 27/4 from anywhere in the world.

Take it easy on the eggnog this holiday season. World Nomads does not cover you for anything that happens while under the influence of alcohol.

World Nomads Travel Insurance is available to residents of 150 countries. You can buy, exten and claim online, even while travelling.

Please read your policy wording carefully for the full terms and conditions of your policy to make sure it is right for your holiday.
