What Does Trip Interruption Insurance Cover?
Whether you are travelling abroad, planning a trip in British Columbia or to a different province in Canada, a trip cancellation insurance covers the extra costs when need to return home earlier or later than planned and reimburses the non-refundable portions of unused, prepaid travel arrangements.
Trip Interruption Insurance reimburses expenses for a covered risk which are unforeseen, should your vacation be interrupted as a result of a:
- Medical condition
- Death
- Travel advisory issued after your departure date
- Job loss or relocation
- Natural disaster
- Legal obligations such as jury duty
- Quarantine
It is important to note, that it will not cover occurrences that are known to you at the time that the insurance is purchased. Thus, if you have a medical emergency due to a pre-known condition, your interruption insurance will not cover that. Your insurance will also not cover having to leave your trip due to a work commitment, missing your flight or being detained by the local customs or law enforcement.
How Do I Purchase Trip Interruption Insurance in British Columbia?
You can purchase interruption insurance as a stand-alone policy or in conjunction with Trip Cancellation insurance. Purchasing as a stand-alone policy you can cost as low as $20 for a single trip and can also be purchased as a multi-trip annual plan as well.
