Why get travel insurance?
|
Thousands of Canadians travel outside of their province or territory
of residence each year, for business and pleasure, alone or with family and friends. But those who go
without travel insurance do so at great risk to their health, finances and peace of mind.
|
Protect your health and well being
|
If you require medical assistance of any kind while overseas, in the
United States or even in the next province—including medication, physician visits, or a hospital
stay—it will cost you. Your provincial or territorial health insurance only covers you for specific
health expenses incurred in your home province or territory. Without excess hospital and travel medical
insurance, a two-week vacation can easily be marred by something as basic as the flu or a broken arm.
A one-day trip across the border can turn into a medical and financial nightmare. Many hospitals in the
United States and other countries won't even admit patients lacking adequate medical coverage.

Protect your trip and belongings |
Although covering emergency accident and sickness while travelling are
our main concerns at Travel Underwriters, other types of travel insurance can protect you from trip delays,
theft, an illness or a change of plans while travelling:
- Trip Cancellation/Trip Interruption Insurance protects you from incurring extra expenses should you
need to cancel, change or interrupt a trip for reasons beyond your control.
- Baggage Insurance protects you from financial set-backs should your belongings be
lost, stolen or damaged while travelling.
- Rental Car Protection covers everything from scratches and dents, to collision and theft of rented
or leased vehicles.
