Other protections
Trip Cancellation & Interruption, Baggage, Accidental Death & Dismemberment
What’s important about these protections?
As the name suggests, travel medical insurance covers costs and expenses pertaining to a medical emergency happening while on a trip.
But what will become of your non-refundable deposits if you need to cancel or interrupt your trip? The sudden death of a family member, pregnancy, or involuntarily losing your job are only a few of the reasons that could alter your plans. To protect deposits given on an upcoming trip, Trip Cancellation & Interruption Insurance is what you need.
And to avoid having to wear the gift shop’s ugly t-shirt all week if you find out that your luggage had a different destination in mind, you need to purchase insurance that will cover the loss, theft, delay or damage to your baggage and personal effects.
With these optional protections in your back pocket, missing a correspondence or having to cancel your trip won’t feel as awful as it sounds.

Travellers of 85 years old and less (read Eligibility below)
In August, I called to book out of province health insurance and (employee from customer service) assisted me. She was very professional, knowledgeable and polite. I had to call again today to make an amendment to our policy. Once again, she was very professional and knowledgeable. I would like to thank her for her excellent service.

Eligibility (Can you purchase this insurance?)
- Applicants must be 85 years old or younger.
- The policy must be purchased while the applicant is in their province of residence.
- The policy must be purchased within 30 days of the first non-refundable deposit of the insured trip.
- Insurance must be purchased for the full duration of the trip and for an amount sufficient to cover the full value of the non-refundable, non-transferable portion of the travel arrangements, up to a maximum of CAN $15,000. (In other words, you cannot insure a trip worth more than CAN $15,000, or insure only part of your trip.)
Buying online and the “Combined Protection” discount
Due to technical reasons, these protections cannot be sold by themselves online: they must be combined with travel medical insurance. A “combined protection” discount of 5% is automatically added. If you want to subscribe Trip Cancellation & Interruption insurance without a medical protection, you must contact your broker or one of our sales representatives. Take note that this is possible only in some provinces, due to licensing requirements in other areas.
