Travel Insurance

OHIP doesn't follow you the way most people think. A medical emergency outside Canada can cost tens of thousands of dollars, and trip cancellations can wipe out your vacation investment. Travel insurance protects both.

Coverage for how you travel

Single Trip Coverage

Single Trip Coverage

For a specific vacation or trip. Coverage starts when you leave and ends when you return. We'll match the policy to your destination, trip length, and activities.

Annual / Multi-Trip Plans

Annual / Multi-Trip Plans

If you travel frequently, an annual plan can be more cost-effective than buying single-trip coverage each time.

Snowbird and Extended Stay

Snowbird and Extended Stay

Longer trips require different coverage. If you're heading south for the winter or spending extended time abroad, we'll confirm duration limits and pre-existing condition rules.

What Travel Insurance Covers

01
Emergency Medical

Emergency Medical

Provincial health coverage does not follow you outside Canada the way most people assume. Emergency medical coverage pays for hospital, doctor, ambulance, and medical evacuation costs that OHIP won't cover abroad.

02
Trip Cancellation and Interruption

Trip Cancellation and Interruption

Protects your trip investment if you need to cancel before departure or cut your trip short due to covered reasons like illness, injury, or death of a family member.

03
Baggage and Personal Effects

Baggage and Personal Effects

Covers loss, theft, or damage to your luggage and personal belongings during your trip, subject to limits and exclusions.

04
24/7 Emergency Assistance

24/7 Emergency Assistance

Access to a helpline that can coordinate medical care, arrange evacuations, and help navigate emergencies abroad. Often the most valuable part of a travel policy.

Key Things to Know

01
Pre-existing conditions matter

Pre-existing conditions matter

Most travel medical policies have rules around pre-existing conditions. If you have ongoing health issues, we'll confirm stability periods and exclusions before you buy.

02
OHIP coverage outside Canada is minimal

OHIP coverage outside Canada is minimal

Provincial health insurance pays very little for care outside Canada. A hospital stay in the U.S. can cost thousands per day. Travel medical insurance is essential, not optional.

03
Read the policy before you go

Read the policy before you go

Travel insurance has exclusions for high-risk activities, alcohol-related incidents, and certain destinations. We'll make sure you understand what's covered before you leave.

Accidents happen to healthy people too. A broken leg skiing or a car accident abroad can result in massive bills. Emergency medical coverage is about unexpected events, not just illness.

Airport kiosks offer limited options and no advice. Buying in advance gives you time to understand exclusions, declare pre-existing conditions properly, and choose appropriate limits.
