Travel has been irrevocably changed by the COVID-19 pandemic over the last couple of years. To make sure your travel dreams aren't shattered, you'll want to ensure you have the right insurance coverage.
With travel restrictions slowly easing, many Canadians are getting ready to start exploring the world again.
It’s important to remember that when a pandemic hits, it requires us to think about travel insurance a bit differently.
Those wishing to travel outside of Canada will want to check with their travel insurance provider to make sure they are covered for COVID-related medical costs as well as non-COVID-related emergency costs. It’s also important to ask about the limits of your coverage and whether pre-existing conditions are covered.
You’ll want to ask about trip cancellation and trip interruption coverage. If you test positive for COVID before departure, trip cancellation will ensure that you receive a full refund for the cost of your trip. Should you need to come home sooner or later than planned, the trip interruption will reimburse you for the lost portion of your trip as well as for any expenses you incur if you have to quarantine abroad or return home early.
Keep in mind that restrictions and regulations relating to travel are constantly changing and can vary considerably from country to country. Make sure you check for the latest updates on travel restrictions and insurance before your departure to ensure a stress-free trip!
