Holiday Travel Insurance: Confidence for Your Festive Journeys

The holiday season is a time for joy, celebration, and reconnecting with loved ones—often involving travel. Whether you’re heading across the country to visit family or embark on an international adventure to escape the winter chill, travel insurance can be your trusted companion. At Merit Insurance, we understand that travel plans can sometimes go awry. That’s why we’re here to ensure you have the protection you need so you can focus on making memories, not worrying about the unexpected.

Let’s explore why holiday travel insurance is essential to your festive preparations.

1. Trip Cancellations or Interruptions

Imagine meticulously planning your holiday getaway, only to have an unforeseen event—like an illness or a flight disruption—derail your plans. Travel insurance can help reimburse the costs of non-refundable flights, accommodations, and bookings. With the right coverage, your financial investment in the holiday season stays protected, even if plans change.

2. Medical Emergencies Abroad

No one wants to think about falling ill or getting injured during a trip, but these scenarios can happen. Healthcare costs can be exorbitant outside Canada, especially in the United States or remote destinations. Travel insurance ensures access to emergency medical care without the burden of unexpected expenses. A Merit broker can tailor a plan to cover medical emergencies, giving you confidence as you explore the world.

3. Lost or Delayed Baggage

The excitement of arriving at your destination can quickly fade if your luggage doesn’t. Whether your bags are lost or delayed, travel insurance can cover the cost of essentials, helping you stay comfortable while your belongings catch up with you. After all, no one should have to buy a new winter coat because theirs didn’t make it to the snowy getaway.

4. Coverage for COVID-19-Related Interruptions

Travel in recent years has come with added uncertainty. Many travel insurance plans now offer specific coverage for COVID-19-related disruptions, including medical treatment and quarantine costs. Speak to a Merit broker to ensure your policy accounts for these potential challenges so you can travel more confidently.

5. Protection for Your Holiday Adventures

If your festive plans include activities like skiing, snowboarding, or scuba diving, you’ll want to ensure your policy covers adventure-related risks. Standard travel insurance may not account for injuries or mishaps during high-risk activities, but a broker can help customize coverage to match your holiday itinerary.

Plan with Merit Insurance

The holidays are about spending time with loved ones, not worrying about logistics. Working with a dedicated broker lets you find a travel insurance policy that fits your needs and plans. From medical emergencies to unexpected cancellations, having the right coverage lets you focus on what truly matters—making the most of your holiday season.
