Whether you’re dreaming of warm beaches, snowy slopes, or exploring a new city, planning a trip is exciting. But while most people tick off flights, resorts, and packing lists, one thing many travellers forget is travel insurance—and that’s a risk you don’t want to take, especially during the unpredictable winter travel season.
Here’s why travel insurance isn’t just a nice extra…it’s essential.
1. Medical Emergencies Can Happen Anywhere
You may feel healthy when you leave home, but illness and injuries don’t keep vacations in mind. A sprained ankle on a beach walk or an unexpected illness far from home can lead to costly medical bills, especially outside Canada.
Travel insurance gives you much-needed coverage, so a medical emergency doesn’t turn into a financial nightmare.
2. Your Trip Plans Might Change—Suddenly
Flight cancellations, family emergencies, or unexpected changes in plans can happen to anyone. Without travel insurance, non-refundable flights, hotels, and tours could mean money lost.
CAA Travel Insurance helps protect your trip investment if you need to cancel or interrupt your travel due to covered reasons.
3. Lost or Delayed Baggage Is More Common Than You Think
There’s nothing worse than landing at your dream destination and waiting at the baggage carousel…and waiting…and waiting.
Travel insurance offers coverage for luggage that’s lost, delayed, or stolen, so you can quickly replace essentials and get on with your vacation.
4. No One Plans for the Unexpected, But It Still Happens
Whether it’s lost travel documents, needing help finding local medical care, or getting guidance during an emergency, having 24/7 support makes a huge difference when you’re far from home.
With travel insurance from CAA, trusted assistance is just a phone call away—anytime, anywhere.
5. Members Save on Travel Insurance
