Don't Scrimp On Travel Insurance

Travel Insurance

When it comes to travel, scrimping on insurance could cost you more in the long run. If a medical emergency happens – i.e. you or your loved ones are injured, catch a virus, get food poisoning or need to see a doctor outside of Canada - and you are without coverage, you will most likely need to pay expenses yourself. 

These cases are common and can cost thousands of dollars – particularly in the United States. The costs for medical care abroad increase exponentially for more serious emergencies or if you require repatriation back to Canada. Navigating health care services outside of Canada without insurance can also be very challenging. Having the experience, support and guidance of a company that provides expert 24/7 emergency care and assistance – like Allianz Global Assistance is beneficial during your time of need.
 

Trip cancellations or unexpected interruptions and delays can also lead to significant, unplanned expenses that can overshadow your travel budget. Travel insurance may provide a safety net, giving you financial protection and peace of mind so you can enjoy your trips worry-free.
