Canada has some incredible sights, including diverse cultures and geographic locations, as well as many memories to create. However, travelling to Canada also involves risk factors and potential financial loss due to unforeseen circumstances, including changes in weather patterns, emergency medical care for visitors, etc. Travel insurance offers protection from the financial consequences of unexpected events and interruptions, making it easier to travel without worrying about your finances.
1. Travel medical insurance
A Travel Medical Insurance policy is one of the top essential elements for securing coverage while visiting Canada. In fact, as a non-resident, you will not have access to Canada’s Government of British Columbia’s free health care system, so you will incur very high medical expenses if you do not purchase Travel Medical Insurance.
2. Emergency medical evacuation
If an individual needs specialized treatment, emergency medical evacuation coverage will cover the cost to transport the individual to a medical facility that has the ability to administer that type of treatment. If the situation is critical, repatriation coverage from Danforth Insurance will assist with the cost of transporting the individual back to their home country for further treatment.
3. Trip cancellation and trip interruption coverage
Travel plans can change unexpectedly for many different reasons; therefore, it’s important to have insurance to protect yourself against any non-refundable expenses (flights, hotels, travel packages, etc.) that might occur from having to cancel a trip because of an unforeseen occurrence, illness, or injury. Trip Cancellation Insurance will provide reimbursement for any unused travel arrangements, as well as an additional amount for getting back home, if a trip must be interrupted early because of an emergency.
4. Coverage for lost baggage
Common international travel problems include lost or stolen bags. This coverage will make you financially whole if your checked bag is lost, stolen, or damaged, or delayed by the airline. When a bag is delayed, this coverage will also compensate for expenses incurred to replace urgent items, such as clothing, toiletries, and other essentials.
5. Coverage for flight delays
This coverage is especially helpful for travellers who have tight schedules or multiple connecting flights. Travel Insurance Canada is also important for international travellers who may experience long layovers or overnight stays due to snowstorms, fog, or other disruptions at the Airport.
