Why do you need travel insurance?

Trip Cancellation/Interruption

Perhaps you’ve been planning a long time for this trip or perhaps it was decided at the spur of the moment. If you’ve committed funds to a vacation, you’ll want to protect your investment in the event of an unexpected cancellation or interruption. Insure your trip for Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption! Cancellation will insure the non-refundable travel costs before you depart. Interruption covers your lost trip and unexpected out-of-pocket costs if your trip is interrupted after you leave. What can happen? Missed connections, schedule changes, your own accident or injury, a travel companion or family member becomes ill, natural disasters, travel advisories, or even loss of employment. All of these events could cause you to cancel your trip or cause a disruption. Generally, Trip Cancellation costs about 5% of your trip cost and its worth the peace of mind.

Visitors to Canada

Vacationing in Canada? We can provide you with Emergency Medical, Evacuation and Trip Cancellation Insurance for your vacation. Medical costs are increasing in Canada for Visitors. Don’t forget if you are a Canadian citizen and have been abroad for an extended time you will need to purchase Visitors to Canada insurance while you re-satisfy the residency waiting period on your provincial health care plan.

Travelling Within Canada

If you are a Canadian leaving your province, you can still incur expenses if you experience a medical emergency outside your home province. Ambulance, prescriptions, return of vehicle and bringing a family member to your bedside will be out of pocket if you don’t have travel insurance.
