InsureMyTrip expands Canadian offering for young travellers

Canada’s InsureMyTrip has announced the launch of its TIPS Youth Premier Plan underwritten by Old Republic Insurance Company of Canada, a plan tailored specifically for travellers up to age 29. 

This launch supports InsureMyTrip.ca’s dedication to providing an extensive selection of insurance options to meet the needs of Canadian travellers at any age. 

Key benefits of the TIPS Youth Premier Plan  

• Comprehensive coverage: includes trip cancellation (if purchased within 72 hours of final trip payment), trip interruption, emergency medical/evacuation, baggage loss/delay, and travel delay benefits

• High coverage limits: insures trip costs up to CA$25,000 per person, with a maximum of two travellers

• Pre-existing conditions stability period: 60 days prior to the effective date for the insured or travelling companion. For trips more than $15,000, a stability period of 180 days prior to the effective date applies to a non-traveller pre-existing condition that causes the cancellation or interruption claim

• Emergency medical coverage: Up to $1 million for emergency medical expenses and emergency medical evacuation/return home

• Travel disruption coverage: includes trip cancellation/interruption for common issues such as carrier delays, weather-related cancellations, and ‘avoid all travel’ advisories issued after the policy effective date

• Baggage loss coverage: includes passport/travel visa replacement up to the specified limit

• Travel assistance services: comprehensive support included to assist travellers. 

Suzanne Morrow, CEO of InsureMyTrip, commented: “As many younger travellers are getting out and exploring the world, this is a plan that offers many helpful benefits and can fit many budgets.” 

Late last year InsureMyTrip added TIPS Travel Insurance to its platform.
