Travel Insurance Low-Cost Travel Insurance for Canadians Travel insurance is like all insurance – it transfers the financial risk of a significant loss to you or your property to an insurance company. Many Canadians enjoy traveling and travel often, whether to another Province or outside of Canada. However, if you have an accident or become ill outside of your home Province, your Provincial Health Plan may not cover all your medical bills. Without Travel Insurance you may be responsible for paying significant medical expenses. Travel Medical Insurance is designed to give you the assurance that should something happen to your health while you are traveling, you can afford the medical treatment you need. Travel Insurance is relatively inexpensive, particularly for younger people taking short trips. I.D.C.
