Coverage explained
What should travel insurance cover?
Travel insurance can include emergency medical care while away from home, evacuation or assistance services, or optional trip cancellation and interruption benefits. These protections are not included in every policy.
Ontario health coverage may not reimburse all emergency medical expenses outside the province or country. Check public coverage limits and private policy wording before a trip.
Make an informed decision
Six things to compare before you buy
Insurance coverage and exclusions vary by insurer and policy. These questions help you compare more than the advertised premium.
Trip cancellation
See which pre-departure cancellation reasons are insured and any evidence requirements.
Trip interruption
Confirm benefits if an insured event forces you to cut a trip short.
Pre-existing condition clauses
A medical change before departure can affect what is covered.
Deductibles and limits
Compare per-condition or per-trip limits, deductibles and exclusions.
Travel advisories
Government travel advice and policy restrictions may affect claims; check before departure.

Is provincial health insurance enough for travel outside Canada?
Provincial coverage can be limited outside Canada, and private travel medical insurance may help cover eligible gaps.
What is a pre-existing-condition stability period?
It is the period during which a listed medical condition must meet the insurer’s stability definition. Specific wording varies.
Does travel insurance cover trip cancellation?
Only if the purchased policy includes that benefit and the reason meets the insured event definitions.
Should I buy annual travel insurance?
It may fit frequent travellers, but each trip can have maximum day limits and eligibility rules.
Are cruises covered?
Cruise travel may be covered subject to policy wording and itinerary-related restrictions. Confirm before purchase.
