TORONTO, May 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fans eager to see Taylor Swift perform on her Eras Tour in Europe, prior to her Canadian dates, should consider key travel preparations. The experts at InsureMyTrip.ca advise these fans to prioritize travel insurance to safeguard their journey.
Travel mishaps can occur unexpectedly, ranging from lost luggage to medical emergencies or unforeseen trip cancellations. Travel insurance, specifically an All-Inclusive policy, serves as a critical safety net, ensuring financial protection if a covered incident occurs during your travels.
Primary Reasons to Secure Travel Insurance:
-
Concert/Event Ticket Coverage: The cost of tickets for the Eras Tour can be substantial, but travel insurance can offer peace of mind. All-Inclusive policies can provide reimbursement if you need to cancel or interrupt your trip for a covered reason, including missing the concert. Ensure that the tickets are paid for in advance, are non-refundable, and their cost is factored into the total trip cost when purchasing your policy. Keep all receipts as proof of purchase.
-
Emergency Medical/Evacuation Coverage: Travel outside your home province or country may not be fully covered by your Canadian Government Health Insurance Plan. If you face a medical emergency while abroad, emergency medical coverage within your travel insurance can help cover these unexpected expenses, alleviating the financial burden.
Other Travel Insurance Benefits:
Beyond the concert tickets and medical emergencies, an All-Inclusive Travel Insurance Plan can protect Canadians from other unexpected issues before and during their trip.
-
Lost or Delayed Baggage – Lost or delayed luggage can be extremely frustrating. Most all-inclusive travel insurance policies include coverage for lost or delayed luggage, up to a certain amount, and may vary based on the length of the delay.
-
Trip Interruption and Cancellation – These coverages provide financial protection in the event you need to cancel or interrupt your trip due to an unforeseen covered event listed in your policy’s details, such as:
The insurance may also provide for lodging expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered event.
-
Cancel for Any Reason – Some policies provide more flexibility in cancellation with the Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) coverage. Depending on the plan, CFAR may be available as an upgrade or part of the policy and allows travellers to cancel a trip for something other than a covered reason and be reimbursed up to 50% of their prepaid, non-refundable trip cost.
However, a policy with CFAR selected must be purchased within 3-5 days after making the initial trip payment and before any cancellation penalties typically apply. Also, you must be cancelling your trip at least the required number of days prior to your scheduled departure date. This amount of time can vary widely by plan, so it’s important to read the details.
