Everyone knows planning a trip can be stressful. You want to make the most of your time away and see everything you can. But sometimes, life happens, and you have to cancel your vacation.  

The Government of Canada recommends every Canadian invests in travel insurance when going on their next vacation.  

The experts at CAA are here to step in as your trusted companion, offering peace of mind and financial protection throughout your journey. They recommend you get medical insurance and travel cancellation insurance to ensure you are fully covered on your next holiday.

Imagine you’re all set for a dream vacation, but the unexpected happens. Travel insurance safeguards your travel investment and provides peace of mind so you can focus on enjoying your trip to the fullest.   

It covers various risks and financial losses that can occur while you’re exploring the world. It typically includes coverage for emergency medical expenses, trip cancellation, baggage loss, flight delays and other unexpected events that could disrupt your travel plans.   

With CAA Travel Insurance, you can embark on your journey with peace of mind, knowing you’re safeguarded against potential mishaps. Don’t let unforeseen events derail your adventure-invest in travel insurance and enjoy your trip to the fullest. 

What is Cancel For Any Other Reason?

When booking your trip, don’t forget to get travel insurance. Here’s a tip: if you get trip cancellation and interruption insurance within 72 hours of booking your vacation, you’ll also get Cancel For Any Other Reason coverage.  

If you have to cancel your trip for any reason not already listed under the insured risks, CAA’s Cancel For Any Other Reason covers the cost of your non refundable trip. Your insurance will cover a majority of the cost that you would have lost when cancelling.
