It’s National Insurance Awareness Day; and while it’s not the most exciting “holiday”, it’s one that should remind us all of the need to protect ourselves and our families from the unexpected. And with summer here, it’s easy to get swept up in planning your next family vacation or getaway with friends.

Whether it’s a global pandemic, the devastation of wildfires, menacing hurricanes, civil unrest and protests or unfortunate acts of terrorism, these events have given a new meaning to travel uncertainty, even among the most seasoned travellers.

Not ready for that long-awaited, well-deserved vacation to end? Or want to stay to visit family just a bit longer? Or, do you need to stay away longer for work? Or, has your flight been delayed due to circumstances beyond your control, preventing you from returning home? Or, are you stuck at your destination under quarantine?

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.

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.

We Canadians love to travel, no matter the season! Wherever we’re headed, we know we’ll need to pack travel insurance. But all travel insurance isn’t created equal. And with so many options, sometimes it’s tough to know how to find the perfect plan.  

Planning a winter vacation to one of Mexico’s popular destinations: Cancun, Los Cabos, Mazatlán, or Puerto Vallarta? The warm weather, the beaches, the R&R…What’s not to love about vacationing at a Mexican hotspot?
