Published on: December 18, 2024
At Ontario Blue Cross, we understand that your time is valuable, especially when planning a much-needed vacation. That’s why we make it easy by offering travel insurance designed to fit your needs.
For Ultimate Insurance, Choose our Complete Offer with Four Coverage Types
Travel is full of adventure, but also uncertainty. With our comprehensive coverage, you’ll be prepared for the unexpected. Our complete insurance covers accidents, medical issues, baggage-related incidents, and unforeseen events that might force you to cancel your trip.
Customize Your Coverage to Fit Your Needs
Essential Coverage: Emergency Medical Care (EMC)
Medical and hospitalization costs can be overwhelming abroad, especially in countries like the United States. Protect yourself financially with Emergency Medical Care (EMC)-our most popular coverage, offering up to $5 million in benefits for:
- Medical care and hospitalization
- Transportation costs, including ambulance or taxi services
- Emergency repatriation if your condition requires returning home
- An allowance to support a loved one’s visit while you’re in the hospital
At Ontario Blue Cross, we provide travel insurance as unique as your journey. Beyond our Emergency Medical Care coverage, we offer additional coverage to help you travel with confidence:
Trip Cancellation and Interruption
You’ve carefully planned every detail-until the unexpected disrupts your plans. Life is full of surprises, which is why our Trip Cancellation and Interruption coverage reimburses your expenses if a covered event forces you to cancel, interrupt, or modify your trip.
It includes:
- Reimbursement for travel expenses
- Additional transportation costs
- Costs to return your vehicle at home or a rental vehicle to the agency
- Subsistence allowance: $300 per day per insured person, up to $3,000 total, for expenses such as accommodation, meals, taxis, essential phone calls, and childcare while travelling
Baggage Coverage
Your luggage holds everything you need for a fantastic trip, which is why baggage coverage is crucial when things don’t go as planned. With this coverage, you’re protected against loss, damage, or theft of your belongings-up to $1,500 per trip, per insured person. This ensures you can replace your items and stay on track with your travel plans, no matter the setback.
And that’s not all! If your bags are delayed by 12 hours or more upon arrival at your destination, you’ll receive up to $500 to purchase essentials like clothing, and toiletries, or even rent sports equipment. This way, you can start enjoying your vacation right away, even if your bags take a little longer to arrive.
Accidental Death or Dismemberment (ADD) Coverage
For just a few extra dollars, enhance your travel insurance with Accidental Death or Dismemberment (ADD) coverage. This valuable add-on provides a lump sum of up to $300,000 in the event of accidental loss of life, limb, or vision while travelling. In difficult times, ADD coverage offers crucial financial support to you or your loved ones.
