Why You Need Travel Insurance in Canada

Did you know that travel insurance is essential when visiting another province to protect against unexpected expenses? 

Your provincial health plan may not cover all medical expenses outside your province of residence, including ambulance transportation, emergency repatriation, and prescription drugs. Some services are only partially reimbursed.  

Our customizable travel insurance includes all this plus 24/7 travel assistance and Flight Delay Service.
