Travel Insurance
Medical emergency and trip protection for travellers — explained clearly so you know what is covered before you leave Windsor-Essex.
Travel insurance is for Windsor-Essex residents heading out of province or abroad — family vacations, snowbird stays, business travel, and students studying away from home. The right plan depends on your destination, health history, and trip cost.
What's covered
Travel plans vary widely by destination, trip cost, and provider — not every plan includes every benefit below. Coverage, limits, and eligibility vary by insurer and policy.
Emergency Medical: Emergency medical coverage is intended to help with unexpected hospital, physician, and emergency treatment costs while you are away from your home province — subject to policy limits, stability requirements, and exclusions. Pre-existing conditions and destination medical costs (especially in the U.S.) should be reviewed carefully before you rely on a plan.

Practical considerations
Destination matters
Coverage limits and eligibility differ for travel within Canada, to the United States, and overseas. Higher medical costs in the U.S. often require higher emergency medical limits.
Trip cost and deposits
If you have significant prepaid flights, tours, or accommodations, trip cancellation/interruption may be worth discussing. Know what reasons are covered and what documentation is required.
Existing health coverage
Workplace benefits or credit card coverage may overlap with a travel policy. A broker can help you avoid paying for duplicate protection — or identify gaps.
Adventure and specialty activities
Scuba diving, skiing, and organized sports may be excluded or require add-ons. Disclose planned activities before you purchase.

Travel insurance FAQ
Questions travellers ask before they depart.
Provincial health plans cover only limited services outside your home province. An ambulance ride, hospital admission, or specialist visit in another province can leave you with out-of-pocket costs. Travel medical coverage fills those gaps for domestic trips.
