6 TRAVEL INSURANCE INFORMATION Dream Vacation Tours strongly recommends that all passenger have travel insurance coverage. There are many avenues to buy travel insurance. Dream Vacation Tours is partnered with Allianz Travel insurance, one of the largest travel insurance company in Canada. Some people have travel insurance via their work coverage or credit card companies. You can also buy it from your local insurance company. We believe that it is a very important part of worry free travel experience. Why should I get travel insurance? If you plan to go abroad, even on a day trip to the United States, you should purchase the best travel insurance you can afford before you leave Canada. Your travel insurance should include health, life and disability coverage that will help you avoid large expenses, such as the cost of hospitalization or medical treatment outside Canada. If you are flying, being insured for flight cancellation, trip interruption, lost luggage and document replacement will save you from major disruptions and additional costs. If you are travelling by car, make sure you have driver and vehicle coverage in case you have an accident abroad. Read more on this government of Canada website Do I need medical coverage when travelling outside of my province? Many Canadians assume that they will be fine as long as they are travelling within the country. This is true to some extent. Many medical costs are covered through reciprocal agreements between the provinces. If you get sick or need to see a doctor, your fees may be covered. However, the extent of the coverage varies from province to province. To make sure there are no gaps in coverage, your best bet is investing in travel insurance. With travel insurance, you won t have to worry about a costly medical bill if you require medical attention outside your home province.
