Travel Insurance in Winnipeg - FAQs

1. If I am travelling only within Canada, why do I need extra travel insurance?

Manitoba Health will pay a portion of your out-of-province health care expenses, but the difference between what this partial reimbursement is and what your total cost might be, could be substantial. Plus, Manitoba Health will only cover you for certain parts of your health care – items like ambulance costs and prescriptions are NOT covered.

Why risk it when travel plans are so affordable?

2. Can I get coverage to protect the cost of my vacation?

Definitely! The travel insurance companies we represent have excellent products like trip cancellation insurance and all-inclusive tour insurance packages. Typically, these have to be purchased within 72 hours of making any non-refundable payments, so call us for details before you book your travel!

3. Will my everyday medical needs, such as insulin or on-going prescriptions be covered by a travel insurance?

No! Travel insurance are designed specifically to cover you for sudden unexpected illness or accident. They will not cover your usual day-to-day requirements.
