What is travel insurance
Travel insurance is a form of financial protection that covers unexpected events during a trip, such as medical expenses, cancellations, delays, lost baggage, or accidents. It ensures that you are reimbursed or assisted in case of a problem, allowing you to travel with peace of mind.
Did you know...?
– Without travel insurance, hospitalization costs can reach $12,000 or more per day.
– Provincial health plans cover less than 10% of medical expenses if you are injured while traveling and do not have insurance.
