After Departure Travel Insurance
Did you know that a single day in a U.S. hospital can cost more than a new car? If you're already on your trip and have just realized you forgot to get coverage, it's not too late to protect yourself from these significant financial risks. Securing after departure travel insurance is a smart and necessary step.
How to Get Covered When You're Already Away
​
It’s a more common situation than you think: in the rush to pack and leave, buying insurance gets missed. Here’s a simple walkthrough of how you can still get protected.
​
Imagine a Canadian traveler is three days into a backpacking trip across Europe. They suddenly realize they never purchased a policy. Panicked about being uninsured for the rest of their multi-week journey, they know they need a fast solution.
​
From their phone, they find our website and fill out the application for travel insurance after takeoff. The key thing to know about this type of policy is that there is typically a short waiting period—often 48 hours—before coverage for sickness begins. Coverage for accidents, however, usually starts right away. The application is approved, and the policy documents are sent directly to their email. Within minutes, they have proof of coverage and can continue their trip with the confidence that they are now protected.

Our 'Client-First Coverage' framework ensures you get the perfect plan in three simple steps: We begin with a personal consultation to understand your unique situation, compare compliant plans from Canada's top insurers, and then present you with a clear, jargon-free recommendation.
