Travel insurance generally covers four areas: medical/health problems, property loss, trip cancellation/interruption,
and emergency evacuation. Although regular insurance policies may extend themselves even when you travel it would be
a good idea to purchase extra insurance specific for the trip.
Medical Insurance often covers costs for whatever happens abroad. You must check with your provider. Medicare covers
travel to Canada. Canadians are covered by their home province's health insurance plan for up to 90 days after departing
country. Check for specific details. Homeowner's insurance covers theft during travel and loss of documents; passport,
plane tickets, rail pass, etc. ISIC and ITIC offers basic insurance protection including $100 per day of in hospital
sickness for an at most of 60 days, $3000 of accident related medical reimbursement, and $25.000 for emergency medical
transport. American Express grants most of its cardholder's automatic car rental insurance, and ground travel accident of $100,000 on flight
purchases made with the card.
