Though one of the busiest travel days of the year has come and gone, it's still the summer, which means the roads will see higher volumes as Canadians make their way to various locales. To help travellers get to their destinations as prepared as possible, Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada offers a few tips.
FAITC says if Canadians are travelling south of the border, they should be sure to bring an international driving permit with them in the event they're involved in an auto accident, as police may ask to see one when they're called to the accident scene.
The source says money matters are another concern, as Canadian currency generally is not accepted abroad. As a result, the FAITC says travellers should be sure to consult with their bank about the best form of currency to bring to the country in question.
Upon arrival, FAITC says Canadian travellers should put their money in a safe place with limited accessibility, such as a money belt.
But before setting off, Canadians should also prepare for the trip with travel insurance, which can reimburse travellers if their personal effects are lost or stolen on the trip.
