What is emergency medical travel insurance?

Emergency medical travel insurance can provide coverage if you are injured or experience a medical emergency while travelling outside of your home province or country.  It can also provide coverage for emergency evacuation to return you and your travelling companion home.  If you are travelling alone, it can provide coverage for someone to attend your bedside while in hospital, provide care for your children if you are hospitalized, and much more.

Out-of-country medical attention can be extremely costly and your Government Health Insurance Plan will not provide adequate coverage while you are outside of Canada. Having emergency medical travel insurance coverage may protect you from the high cost of these medical bills in the event that the unexpected happens.

Why is emergency medical travel insurance important?

Emergency medical travel assistance can play a crucial role in helping you get the immediate medical attention you need.  When travelling, you may not know where to go to seek medical treatment.  Your policy will provide you the assistance you need in helping you locate a certified medical facility no matter what time of day or night you call. 

Emergency medical situations can range from minor injuries to life-threatening situations while travelling and may require immediate medical attention or even evacuation. These issues can range from reactions to local food or water, to falling while walking on the beach, to a heart attack and more.

Real Travel Stories

"I suffered an injury causing me to return home from a 67 day South American cruise. This was on the 14th day of the cruise. I had to leave the ship immediately and hire two cars to carry our 6 suitcases, ourselves (2) and a nurse provided by the cruise line. We travelled 6 hours to Lima Peru, to go to a clinic to make sure I was fit to fly. Before I left the ship, the nurse aboard start a claim with Travel Guard. Travel Guard arranged my flight from Peru to Vancouver. We were reimbursed for our expenses, which was a sizeable amount. I certainly appreciated your service."
