The desire to enjoy domestic travel is increasing—for good reason, Canada has some incredible spots to visit! Keeping travels a little more local can bring peace of mind in many ways. You are never too far from home, and you know there will be familiar food, shopping, and activities to keep you comfortable. But there is one thing you can’t pick up at the local corner store if you forget to pack it, and it might just be the one that costs you the most to forget: travel insurance. Many people believe it's only for international travel or expensive trips, but we are going to share the reasons why you should get it whenever you go away!
You may assume that provincial healthcare will always be enough if you are staying within the country. However, each province’s coverage is not identical! You may not be covered for expenses such as emergency transportation, tests, prescriptions, or other issues beyond basic emergency medical services.
With credit card coverage or employer health coverage, you still might not have everything you need for unexpected emergencies! Travel insurance can help with additional Emergency Medical coverage, so you know you are prepared.
Beyond medical coverage, there are a few practical reasons to include travel insurance in your plans! Trip disruptions, lost baggage, trip cancellations, and more can be included depending on the plan you select. CAA Travel Insurance has options to cover it all!
Starting with Emergency Medical coverage, CAA has a couple of plan options: Multi-Trip Plan or Single-Trip Plan. Both give you options to cover medical expenses like hospital accommodation, x-rays, dental expenses, and more. The difference between the two is that Multi-Trip is perfect for frequent travellers going on multiple trips, and it also has the option to get Virtual Emergency Medical Assistance. You can get a quote for either option on our website!
CAA also offers a few other insurance plans that can suit many different types of vacation. Deluxe Holiday offers coverage for anything that can come up on a trip, from medical to lost documents. Top-Up and Extension Plans are available if you already have coverage and just want to add that little bit extra to fully cover you while you’re away. Trip Cancellation and Interruption Plans ensure you won’t lose so much money when plans have to change. And if you’re travelling in Canada and want to invite some international friends or family to join you, the Visitors to Canada plan is available to keep them covered while they’re here!
