What is covered by travel insurance and why is it important for Canadians?
When planning a trip, whether it is as a quick hop over the border, a dream vacation or regular overseas business trips, travel insurance is available to help you deal with a wide range unexpected events that might occur.
Probably the most common and important coverage is medical insurance. We have all heard horror stories about the cost of medical care in the US, but were you also aware that there are gaps in coverage that could leave you out of pocket when receiving out of province treatment. Insurance is available for a range of events from lost baggage, trip cancellation, injury or illness and even the unfortunately too common, travel operator or carrier bankruptcy.
Travel Insurance options include:
All Inclusive travel insurance – A convenient single package offering a comprehensive suite of coverage, providing not only the basics like emergency medical, but, depending on the policy, also, trip cancellation and trip interruption insurance, coverage for baggage loss, accidental death and dismemberment insurance and more.
Emergency medical travel insurance - Sickness or injury while outside of Canada without adequate coverage is a risk that is simply not worth taking. In most countries, medical expenses can be extremely costly, often thousands of dollars a day. Emergency medical travel insurance can be a lifesaver in more ways than one.
Multi-trip emergency medical travel insurance – If you travel frequently this is your most cost effective option. Plans range from basic to fairly comprehensive, and trips of up to 35 days are accommodated.
Travel cancellation insurance - If the cost of your trip or vacation is more than you can afford to lose if you were forced to cancel, or if you have booked a trip a long time in advance, therefore increasing the chances of something unforeseen changing your travel plans, then you should definitely consider trip cancellation insurance.
A complex array of insurance is available from a wide variety of vendors, so why not engage an industry expert to arrange the perfect coverage at the lowest possible rates.
