A lot of people will ask why they should buy travel insurance, when they believe insurance will only cover a minor number of events.
The Premium Protection Policy that we sell with Manulife includes Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption, Travel Disruption, Emergency Medical, Baggage Loss, Damage and Delay and Travel Accident. It covers accidents, injuries, unexpected illness or unforeseen events.
Here are some examples of events where claimants received paid claims:
Break up of partner
Vacation time cancelled by employer
Job loss (contract employee, with cause)
Wallet stolen right before departure (needed credit cards, driver’s license)
Job action
Friends decided not to travel
Lost passport
Got a medical appointment
Mandatory cheerleading practice (prep for competition scheduled after trip booked)
Shooting at destination – no travel advisory
Refused entry into country
Could any of these happen to you? For a fraction of the cost of your vacation you could be covered. If you are travelling and need travel insurance please contact me for a quotation.
