When travelling, it’s always best to expect the unexpected, but what if it’s really, really unexpected? Will your travel insurance cover it? We can confidently tell you that TuGo does, because some of our travellers have shared their unusual medical stories with us.

Recently, I was part of a four-person team who travelled to Baffin Island, a remote part of Arctic Canada, for a sea kayaking and rock climbing expedition. The four of us are all passionate and committed rock climbers and outdoors people.

The holiday season is just around the corner! Holiday shopping, family dinners, skiing and snowboarding, there’s just so much to look forward to!

Dreaming of travelling in the months ahead but want to err on the side of cautious trip planning? Worried your financial investments will go down the drain if you can’t travel because of last-minute changes? With TuGo, you can add Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) Optional Coverage to Trip Cancellation & Trip Interruption Insurance, the All Inclusive Holiday Package or the Non-Medical Package to protect your next getaway.

For many travellers, heading south for a golfing vacation is the perfect way to unwind. But did you know that if you or your family experience an accident or medical emergency outside of your home province, you won’t be fully covered for medical care? This can be especially expensive in the US, as costs add up quickly.

As Canadians, we don’t really need to think about healthcare costs—we’re fortunate to have provincial healthcare plans. But how much does healthcare cost outside of Canada?  

Medical emergencies can often put a damper on your trip and lead to significant out-of-pocket expenses without travel insurance. That’s why it’s essential to be prepared and take proactive steps to avoid hefty medical bills while travelling. 

COVID-19 changed the way many of us planned for travel. We’re all different types of travellers, comfortable with different levels of risk. But one thing we all have in common: our need to feel safe and protected is paramount.

What’s not to love about studying abroad? It’s a thrilling adventure of learning and self-discovery. As with all things, there will be challenges at times, but medical bills shouldn’t be one of them. This is especially the case if you’re a Canadian studying in the United States.

Planning to study in Canada, but don’t know where to start with Emergency Medical insurance for you and your family? TuGo’s Student Travel Insurance could be exactly what you’re looking for – even for your little ones.
