Travel Insurance in Abbotsford

Are you one of those people who throws a few changes of clothing in a knapsack and takes off to wherever in the world the newest special deal takes you? If you are, congratulations on being a free spirit…

For the rest of us, we’d rather know where we’re going, and when, and know where we’re going to stay when we get there. And we really want to make sure we have adequate medical and travel insurance to cover any unforeseen events (ranging from less-than-satisfactory hotel rooms to rioting in city streets).

Periodically events happen that impact travel in parts of the globe. If you’ve purchased travel insurance prior to the event your coverage may be affected; it’s in your best interest to check with Foreign Affairs or International Trade Canada to see if an official advisory has been issued. Trip cancellation insurance may be null and void if a Travel Warning is already in effect when a trip is booked. Read your travel insurance policy to ensure you fully understand what you’re covered for!
