Vancouver Travel Insurance

Vancouver is one of the world’s safest large cities, but, like anywhere else, it suffers from the constant threat of petty thievery, particularly from pickpockets who tend to congregate in tourist areas such as the main railway station. Visitors should always have their wits about them when in crowded areas and be particularly mindful of where they keep their valuables on their person. Being the victim of theft is bad enough, but being without any kind of travel insurance is a lot worse, making taking out a comprehensive travel insurance package to cover theft and loss a must before visiting Vancouver. A typical insurance package should also include personal health cover should you become sick or get injured during your time in Canada. British Columbia hospitals will not refuse treatment to those who do not have medical insurance, but it will generally prove to be very expensive should the need arise and you are not covered.

With the increase in European mini-breaks and cheap flights, holidays to Vancouver are becoming more popular. But weekend breaks and impulse trips still require proper planning and adequate insurance. A single trip policy will cover you for a mini-break but if you also take a main holiday in the summer, an Annual policy would be a more suitable option. This would allow you the freedom to travel as often as you like.

An Essential Travel Annual travel insurance policy gives you the option of spending 21, 31 or 45 days out of the country on any single trip. If you take a ski break you can add the option of 17 days Winter Sports cover each year. The policy also allows the flexibility of excluding baggage cover or adding cover for golf breaks. All our policies offer up to £5 million medical and optional cancellation protection cover. Whether you are travelling alone, as a couple or in a family unit you can choose the policy best suited to your requirements.
