Why travel insurance?

Whether you're travelling within Canada or around the world, there are many reasons to protect yourself, your family and travelling companions with travel insurance.

• You want to be protected in the event of sudden and unforeseen health and medical emergencies while travelling abroad or outside your home province
• Even if you're a Canadian resident who's just going to another province or territory, our provincial government health insurance plans don't cover incidentals, such as ambulance or medical air evacuation outside your home province.
• You need coverage for a range of unexpected situations such as trip cancellation, interruption & delay and baggage loss & delay
• Your credit card may not have the benefits and coverage you need
• Your company's employee benefits plan may not be sufficient
• You're aware that government health insurance plans provide very limited coverage for out of country emergency medical expenses
• You pay close attention to Government of Canada alerts and advisories when travelling and know our Government recommends travel medical insurance for all Canadians travelling abroad
