Why is Travel Insurance important?
Travel insurance is important to help protect you, or your family from costs that can occur due to an unforeseen medical emergency during a trip or an unexpected reason to cancel or interrupt a trip. Without it, travellers may be left to pay significant out of pocket expenses.

Travelling Canadians
Scotia Travel Insurance for Travelling Canadians is designed for Canadians travelling out-of-province or outside Canada. It can help protect you against the cost of unexpected emergencies that may occur before or during your trip.
Your government health insurance plan may only cover a fraction of healthcare expenses incurred outside Canada, and may only provide limited coverage if you’re travelling in another province. Illness and accidents are all-too-common occurrences. Without travel insurance, a medical emergency or trip cancellation or trip interruption due to an emergency could be disruptive and leave you facing large unexpected expenses.
