Travel stress-free with a travel insurance policy

As we see the potential end of the pandemic with international borders opening up, more and more Canadians are planning to pack their bags and finally go for that long-awaited trip they have been preparing. Many have already started booking flight tickets and planning their itinerary. Still, in the middle of the rush, you mustn’t forget about travel insurance, especially in a critical time like this. Travel insurance can help you get through your vacation or business trip with complete ease of mind, meaning you won’t have to worry about emergency medical expenses or other travel-related issues such a loss of luggage or trip cancellation. The insurance company reimburses the costs without any hassle.

Have travel insurance policies evolved?

Since the onset of the pandemic, insurance companies have made several significant changes in the terms and conditions of travel insurance policies—modifications made with clients’ health and protection in mind. Soon, when traveling becomes more regular, these new regulations would help with any financial issues while moving from one place to another. Travel insurance won’t primarily focus more on medical expenses. It will also offer more coverage on trip-related problems such as cancellations, emergency evacuations- all to ensure that you face no stress during your trip and you can safely get back home when you want to.

Pre-existing conditions: that won’t be an issue

Travel insurance policies have included coverage of several pre-existing health conditions over the years, making traveling easy for the not-so-healthy. If you have any pre-existing conditions, mention them in the application form, including them in the coverage. However, you should remember that travel insurance would only supplement your government health plan, and there might be exclusions and limitations; read the fine print beforehand to avoid any hassle.
