I don't know which plan type is right for me ?
If you:
want to ensure you and your family are covered for expenses that could arise from emergency medical costs; and
are not concerned about losing any investment you’ve made in your trip prior to departure, e.g., airfare, accommodation; and
are not concerned about expenses arising from lost, stolen or delayed baggage,
Then don’t leave home without Emergency Medical travel insurance.
If you:
are making a significant investment in your trip for expenses such as airfare, down payments on cruises and accommodations; or
are booking your trip well in advance of departure; and
are already covered for expenses that could arise from emergency medical costs,
You may want to consider Trip Cancellation/Interruption insurance.
If you:
want to ensure you and your family are covered for expenses that could arise from emergency medical costs; and
are making a significant investment in your trip for expenses such as airfare, down payments on cruises and accommodations; or

travel more than once a year
You may want to consider Multi-trips or Annual travel insurance.
If you:
already have coverage for part of your trip but wish to be covered for the entire length of your trip
have not already left for your trip
have an exisiting travel insurance policy that allows top up coverage to be issue

Live outside Canada?
Are you looking for travel insurance for your visit to Canada? If so, the type of travel insurance you are looking for is called Visitors to Canada, which you can get quotes online for here as well. Get Visitors to Canada insurance quotes for coverage that provides emergency medical insurance during your travels to Canada.
Please note, the only travel insurance coverage currently available to visiting non-Canadians through Kanetix is Visitors to Canada. All other travel-related insurance quotes are available to Canadian residents only.
Looking for multi-trip coverage?
If you are looking for multi-trip (or annual) coverage, use a departure date and return date that corresponds to your longest trip. The list of quotes you receive from Kanetix will include single trip, multi-trip, trip cancellation and all-inclusive coverage so you can compare all your options. The most popular multi-trip policies sold are 15 and 30 day durations. Longer options such as 48 day or 60 day policies are available depending on the company.
Tip on how to save money: If most of your trips are up to 15 days in duration, but one trip will be 20 days, you may want to consider a multi-trip policy for 15 day trip durations and then buy an extension for that one longer trip, rather than buy a multi-trip policy for 30 day trip durations. If you're unclear about what options would fit you best, talk to the insurance company of interest prior to purchase to see what policy best fits your needs.
