Why Do Canadians Need Travel Insurance?
We all love to travel, but are you prepared for the unexpected? Travel Insurance covers lost baggage, medical emergencies, personal item theft, and cancelled departures.
Depending on your Travel Insurance coverage, you will be partially or fully reimbursed for your unexpected travel related expenses. It is smart to purchase Travel Insurance as soon as you book your trip because you’re unlikely to find an insurer willing to provide you with a plan once you’ve begun your trip. Travel Insurance is vital, even if your trip is within Canada.
Types of Travel Insurance in Canada
There are Travel Insurance plans designed specifically for every possible travel related event which could lead to financial loss. You can mix and match these coverages, or you can purchase a Comprehensive Travel Insurance plan, which includes all coverages for complete peace of mind.
Medical Travel Insurance
Medical Travel Insurance covers expenses related to medical emergencies, injuries, and illnesses. There are two subcategories of Medical Travel Insurance: Single Trip Insurance plan and Multi-Trip Insurance plan.
Lost Baggage Insurance
Lost Baggage Insurance covers you in the event of lost and delayed luggage. The costs of replacement items and your suitcase will be reimbursed.
Trip Cancellation And Interruption Insurance
Trip Cancellation and Interruption Insurance protects you from costs due to cancellation fees and travel interruptions caused by bad weather, travel document hurdles, and family emergencies. With Trip Cancellation and Interruption Insurance, lost reservations, missed flights, and non-refundable tickets will no longer cause you significant financial loss.
All-Inclusive Travel Insurance
All-Inclusive Travel Insurance includes all of the benefits previously mentioned. Your premiums will be higher due to its extensive coverage.
