Out-of-province medical expenses: If you find yourself requiring emergency medical services such as surgeries, diagnostic tests, emergency dental work, prescription medication or critical care while outside your home province or territory, travel insurance can help cover eligible costs not covered by your provincial or territorial Government Health Insurance Plan.
Emergency transportation: Travel insurance may assist with covering the cost of a ground or air ambulance, or bring you back to your home province or territory if it’s medically necessary. Provincial and territorial health plans often do not fully cover these services, which can result in significant expenses.
Trip cancellation and interruption: Even domestic travel can be costly, so safeguarding your travel investment is wise in case of unexpected events like illness or adverse weather conditions causing you to cancel or interrupt your trip.
Lost or Delayed Baggage: If your luggage takes a detour, travel insurance can help you replace essential covered items and continue your journey seamlessly.
These are common occurrences that can leave travellers exposed to unexpected expenses, even within Canada. CIBC’s Travel Insurance is designed to help fill these gaps in coverage, offering plans for comprehensive coverage for out-of-province and territory emergency medical expenses, emergency transportation, trip cancellation, trip interruption, and lost or delayed baggage. CIBC Travel Insurance can help you travel confidently knowing you have valuable support and protection should unexpected events arise.
