‘Tis the season for exciting trips, whether you’re heading away from home or going back. The moment you leave the borders of the province you live in, travel insurance becomes a necessity to cover those unwanted surprises you can face—especially during winter travel! This year, don’t forget to pack CAA Travel Insurance. Here are some of the options for coverage available to you.
Emergency Medical Coverage
When you aren’t leaving the country, you might feel like your provincial health card will do the trick if medical issues arise. Unfortunately, this is not always the case! Getting travel insurance in place for both domestic and international travel ensures you’re ready if something goes wrong. Here are just a few of the situations that would be included:
- Emergency medical treatment for illness or injury (up to CAD $5 million)
- Hospital stays, lab tests, X-rays, nursing care, ground ambulance services
- Emergency dental expenses
- 24/7 emergency assistance and support phone line
Learn more on our website about the medical services available.
Trip Cancellation or Interruption
If something unexpected forces you to cancel before departure or interrupts your progress after you depart, this option can cover your trip investment so you don’t lose all your money.
Trip Cancellation provides reimbursement for prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you must cancel due to eligible reasons.
Trip Interruption helps with extra costs to return home or rebook travel if your trip is cut short due to eligible events.
The eligible situations that could be covered vary by your plan—the CAA Travel Insurance team can explain this to you when you are making your decision!
Deluxe or Package Plans
More comprehensive options often include:
- Emergency medical plus cancellation, interruption, baggage, lost documents, flight delays, etc.
- Enhanced benefits such as travel accident protection, holiday protection, and infant protection on certain packages
Optional or Add-On Coverage
Depending on the specific plan you choose, you may also be able to select certain add-ons to make your coverage more complete. Talk to our team when you get your quote so you can get the best plan for your situation!
