Some of the best parts of a vacation are the memorable activities you choose to take part in. Lucky for you, TuGo’s Emergency Medical Insurance covers many activities such as skiing, parasailing, and even ziplining! But what if you’re looking for more of a daring adventure, like backcountry skiing, BASE jumping, or dirt biking? Good news, TuGo’s got the product for you!

The day has finally come – it’s our 60th anniversary! TuGo has officially been in business for 60 years. To celebrate, we’re taking a walk down memory lane, to bring us back to our roots, where it all began in 1964. 

In the last decade, “babymoons” have increasingly become the norm, as expectant couples enjoy one last getaway together, as they prepare for their family life to change forever. Expectant parents have the added pressures of weighing their desire to travel against safety concerns.

Even if you’re an avid traveller, it’s easy to think that “unexpected” or “unfortunate” things won’t happen to you on vacation. But believe it or not, even the slightest incident or symptom can lead to an emergency medical claim – even a flu can send you to the hospital! And when you’re exploring the world, the last thing you want to deal with are extra out-of-pocket expenses.

Of all the things that can go wrong during your meticulously-planned vacation, flight delays are some of the most common—and most annoying! Luckily, MyFlyt takes the frustration away for travellers. It’s a complimentary new service that’s added on to travel insurance, so travellers with existing policies can enjoy the benefits of MyFlyt at no extra cost. 

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.
