ABOUT
What is Travel Insurance?
Travel insurance is a type of insurance designed to cover the costs and losses associated with traveling, both within Canada and internationally. It is intended to protect against risks and financial losses that could occur while traveling, such as medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost luggage, flight accidents, and other unforeseen events.
Why you need it?
Travel insurance is an essential tool for someone looking to protect themselves from unforeseen expenses and emergencies while traveling. It offers a range of benefits that can provide peace of mind and financial assistance when things don't go as planned.

How does it work?
Policy Purchase
Before traveling, purchase a travel insurance policy that suits their needs. This can be done through Instasure, travel agents, directly from insurance companies, or sometimes through credit card providers.
Coverage Selection
Travel insurance policies can include various types of coverage, such as trip cancellation and interruption, medical emergencies, baggage loss or delay, and flight accidents. Select the coverage that best fits your travel plans and potential risks.
Understanding the Policy
It's important to thoroughly understand what is covered, the limits of coverage, the deductible amounts, and any exclusions or conditions.
Travel Period
The insurance is valid for the duration of the trip as defined in the policy. Coverage begins from the departure date and ends upon return, or the end date specified in the policy.
Making a Claim
If an insured event occurs (like a medical emergency or trip cancellation), the traveler must contact the insurance provider to initiate a claim. This should be done as soon as possible according to the policy guidelines.
Documentation
The traveler will need to provide documentation to support their claim. This could include medical records, police reports, receipts, or proof of travel delays.
Claim Assessment
The insurance company assesses the claim to determine if it falls within the policy coverage and the amount that will be reimbursed or paid directly to service providers.
Resolution
Once the claim is approved, the insurance company will reimburse the traveler for covered expenses or pay the service providers directly. If the claim is denied, the traveler will be informed of the reasons why.
pros
Medical Coverage: It provides coverage for unforeseen medical expenses that can be exorbitant, especially outside of Canada where Canadian health plans may not be valid.
Trip Cancellation and Interruption: Reimburses pre-paid, non-refundable travel expenses if the trip is canceled or cut short due to covered reasons like illness, injury, or death in the family.
Baggage Protection: Covers loss, damage, or theft of luggage and personal items.
Emergency Evacuation: Covers the costs of emergency medical evacuation to the nearest adequate medical facility or back to Canada, if necessary.
24/7 Assistance: Most policies come with a 24/7 help line for emergencies, offering support when navigating foreign healthcare systems or legal aid.
Peace of Mind: Knowing that many potential issues that could arise are covered, travelers can enjoy their trip with less worry.
Cons
Cost: Travel insurance is an additional expense, and comprehensive policies can be costly.
Exclusions and Limitations: Pre-existing medical conditions and certain activities like extreme sports may not be covered. Policyholders need to understand the fine print to avoid surprises.
Complex Claims Process: Filing a claim can be time-consuming and requires proper documentation, which can be a hassle during or after a trip.
Not Always Necessary: For short trips or travel within Canada, existing health plans and credit card benefits might be sufficient, making additional travel insurance unnecessary.
Coverage Overlaps: Some coverage might duplicate protection that the traveler already has through other insurance policies or credit card benefits, leading to unnecessary extra coverage.

Travel Insurance Plans
The cost of travel insurance varies widely based on several factors. These factors include the traveler's age, health, the length and destination of the trip, the type of coverage chosen, and the amount of coverage needed.
For example, a basic travel medical insurance policy for a short trip might cost as little as a few dollars per day, while a comprehensive policy with high coverage limits and additional features like trip cancellation and interruption, baggage loss, and flight accident coverage could cost significantly more.
It's also worth noting that travelers over a certain age or those with pre-existing medical conditions might face higher premiums due to the increased risk associated with insuring them.
