(NC)—Many Canadians remember the sunscreen but forget the travel insurance when heading to the beach. No one wants to think that their long-awaited beach vacation will be anything but perfect, however the unexpected can happen anywhere—from flights cancelled due to bad winter weather to falling ill while on vacation. A little advance preparation can help ensure your days on the beach are worry-free.
Too often, Canadians are finding out after the fact that their credit cards don't cover all of their medical expenses and their employer's insurance plan won't reimburse for missed flights. Purchasing a good travel insurance plan means that these costs and more are covered in the event of illness, medical emergencies, travel delays, lost baggage, and more.
Trusted travel insurance companies provide cost-effective travel assistance that can help stranded passengers get home or to their destination, provide emergency care and navigate the unfamiliar territory of foreign hospitals.
"We consistently see examples of people needing to go to a hospital where nearly no English or French is spoken," says Nathan LaFayette, at AIG Travel Guard. "As a travel insurance provider, we have multi-lingual emergency assistance coordinators on staff to guarantee good quality care when people need it the most. And, we cover the costs so that they can focus on getting better."
