All avid bikers will agree – nothing beats the thrill and exhilaration of the open road. But while the element of danger makes it fun, it also leaves the rider vulnerable to many uncertainties on the road. Motorcyclist enthusiasts, Mark and Lori Rovang, experienced that vulnerability during a motorcycle accident while riding through Powell, Wyoming.

With uncertain times ahead, it’s important to know your rights as travellers, especially if you had upcoming trip plans that were affected. Lucky for you, both the US Dept of Transportation and the European Commission have guidelines in place for airlines to follow, which might just work in your favour.

Medical emergencies, illnesses, trip cancellations, trip interruptions, lost baggage and other unexpected mishaps happen, even on the best trips. That’s why many travellers rely on Emergency Medical Insurance and Non-Medical Travel Insurance to protect them from common claims and other unexpected events.

We understand that travellers have faced many challenges with worldwide travel restrictions and advisories while being urged to come home by their respective countries. These uncertain times have called for unprecedented measures, which were never a part of anyone’s travel plans to begin with.

These are challenging times for all of us, as we’re seeing unprecedented measures enacted by governments and the travel industry. This includes TuGo too; so we’re doing our part to help curb the effects of COVID-19—most importantly making sure Canadian travellers return home safely.

It’s the dead of winter, and as Canadians hunker down from coast to coast, there’s one lucky group of them that have their mittens holstered and toques in storage: the snowbirds. Every year, thousands of Canadians make their way to warmer climates, often spending the bulk of their winter salting margarita rims instead of sidewalks.

If you’re planning a trip, the last thing you want to do is imagine what can go wrong. Of course, small things can happen when you travel, but there are also worst-case scenarios and risky adventures that should be covered by insurance.

Ever been deathly ill while travelling? Or at least felt like you weren’t going to make it home alive? If you’re a street-food lover or prone to travelling off the beaten track, chances are you have, and you need travel insurance. Half the fun of travelling is the adventure. But our customer, Clara, had an adventure that took a turn for the worst when she got sick in the jungles of Malaysia. Here’s her story.

The first time I visited Mexico City was for an 8-hour layover about 5 years ago. At the time, I didn’t believe in love at first sight, but the second I stepped out of my Uber outside Hotel Condesa, that changed…

It’s not just medical emergencies that can keep you from travelling. And, in light of additional rules now in effect under Canada’s Air Passenger Protection Regulations, it’s the perfect time to outline how travel insurance for delays, cancellations, and interruptions can cover you, too.
