Unforeseeable emergencies
happen and can be extremely expensive. Provincial health insurance plans
and other insurance such as homeowners', employee group benefits and
credit cards may not adequately provide the coverage required to safeguard
you on your trip. The following real-life scenarios demonstrate the
necessity of purchasing travel insurance.
Medical Emergency: A 50-year old woman collapses aboard a cruise ship in
the Caribbean. The ship's doctor recommends she be taken to the nearest
island hospital at the next port of call where very little English is
spoken. The hospital expenses, emergency air ambulance home and additional
emergency air transportation home for her family members cost $50,000. The
lost portion of the pre-paid cruise is valued at $10,000. Her provincial
health insurance plan only reimburses $2,000. With Travel Guard trip
interruption and emergency accident and sickness benefits, not only are
all these expenses and losses covered, our multi-lingual emergency
assistance counselors work with the attending physician and family
physician to organize the best possible care, air ambulance, family
transportation and the securing of a hospital bed back home. Additionally,
all medical bills are paid directly to the various medical suppliers by
Travel Guard.
Trip Cancellation: A family totally prepays a tour package to Orlando,
Florida which includes return flights, hotel accommodation and day passes
to a theme resort (total cost: $12,000). Two days before their departure
date, the father is hospitalized following a car accident. Since the trip
was only cancelled 2 days prior to departure, the cancellation charge by
the tour operator is 100% of the holiday cost. With Travel Guard trip
cancellation benefits, the total insured amount is refunded including the
cost of the theme resort day passes.
Trip Interruption: Honeymooners purchase air tickets to Vancouver and an
Alaskan cruise. Their flight arrival from Montreal is delayed by weather
and they miss the cruise departure. Without travel insurance, the
honeymooners have to find and pay their own way home or find a way to
catch up to the cruise ship. With Travel Guard trip interruption benefits,
emergency travel assistance is one phone call away. Hotel arrangements
and/or arrangements to catch up to the cruise ship or return home are
handled by Travel Guard and the transportation costs and the value of the
lost days at sea are reimbursed.
Lost Travel Documents: While visiting relatives in Spain, a senior citizen
loses her passport and travel tickets. Without insurance, she has to deal
with the foreign language issue and figure out how to get a new passport
and replacement airline tickets. Exclusively with Travel Guard, one call
to Livetravel - our 24/7 emergency travel assistance number and all the
work is completed by us.
Lost luggage and unexpected emergencies back home are common travel
problems which are seamlessly resolved with the purchase of Travel Guard
insurance plans. Travel insurance and assistance is our one and only
business and we are dedicated to providing exceptional products and
services for all your travel plans.
