“Does it mean that travel insurance will cover anything?”
Travel insurance is for emergencies only – it doesn’t cover everything.
✓ Be up front about your pre-existing health conditions to make sure you get coverage that fits your needs.
✓ If you’re over age 60, you may be asked to complete a medical questionnaire when applying for
travel insurance
✓ If you need help, check with your doctor about any answers you are unsure of.
✓ Read your policy to understand what it does and doesn’t cover.
“These are good reasons to purchase travel insurance, but my trip is expensive and I don’t have room in my budget.”
For as little as $20 you can be covered for up to $10 million for Emergency Hospital & Medical expenses.
Travel insurance does not cover everything. For complete terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions, please refer to the policy booklet.
Travel insurance is underwritten by CUMIS General Insurance Company, a member of The Co-operators group of companies; administered by Allianz Global Assistance, which is the registered business name of AZGA Service Canada Inc. and AZGA Insurance Agency Canada Ltd.
