Trip Insurance Coverage: Do I Need Trip Cancellation & Medical Coverage?
In Alberta, you can expect to pay a portion of the total cost of your flight for a basic travel insurance policy. Always be prepared for the unexpected, even if you’ve only booked a short flight – as proper coverage could be the difference between having an amazing trip to owing tens of thousands of dollars.
Travel Outside Alberta or Canada
If you’re a wanderer and love to hike in the mountains of British Columbia or surf in Mexico, you’ll need medical insurance. Why? Alberta’s medical insurance only cover seven percent of your travel expenses outside of the province and Canada; a medical emergency could leave you financially devastated.
Emergency Medical Insurance
The last thing you want to think about on vacation is if you have enough money to cover a hospital stay or a medical procedure. Make sure you buy enough medical insurance ahead of your trip.
Emergency Medical Insurance Includes:
- Ambulance service
- Emergency hospital stay or medical treatment,
- Prescriptions
- Emergency air transportation
Trip Interruption and Cancellation Insurance
It pays to have financial protection when an accident or theft happens. This type of coverage will prevent unnecessary out-of-pocket expenses for cancelled plans or trip disruption during the travel period.
Includes:
- Unexpected sickness
- Natural disaster
- Travel advisory
- Missed connection
Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance
If a death or injury occurs outside Alberta or Canada that requires a person to be airlifted to a hospital or a family member needs to be on a plane to deal with arrangements, this insurance option will ease the financial burden.
