Calgary Travel Insurance

Calgary’s crime rate is low, but it is worth remembering to take general precautions such as storing passports in hotel safes and always locking hotel room doors when holidaying in unfamiliar territory. It is also important to recognise that visitors are more likely to fall ill or have an accident while on holiday. Foreign medical insurance schemes will not cover medical treatment in Canada, so it is therefore advisable to buy separate insurance to cover for any medical emergency on your trip.

If any of your possessions should be stolen while on holiday or if you are the victim of any other kind of crime, you should report the crime to the local police. In the case of a theft, you won’t be able to submit an insurance claim unless you can demonstrate that you reported the incident. Good insurance cover will provide reimbursement for the cost incurred in replacing lost or stolen items; typical travel insurance policies also provide cover for the loss of money as well as journeys that have been cancelled or cut short.
