Not Sure If You Want To Buy Travel Insurance?

?

We understand that next to your home and car, travel is one of the largest expenses in your life. ?Unfortunately there are situations that arise from time to time that make it impossible to travel or require you to return home in the middle of your trip.

We are often asked what travel insurance covers and how travel insurance differs from credit card coverage. ?As far as credit cards go, they all have different coverage, some of it extensive and some of it very limited. ?This is something you need to investigate to get the specific details.

We?ve outlined 9 different scenarios to consider when assessing your travel insurance coverage. ?Our partner, Manulife Insurance, covers you in all these situations depending on what insurance package you purchase.
