Question:
Humans say...

Debbie
Rbc or your credit card if you booking with it will often have insurance, or your employer
Nicole
Thank you Debbie! I did look into our RBC westjet MC. A lot of the insurance (health) is covered for free, but only for 14 days....which was good to know! We'd like to travel longer than that so it would require a top up,along with the trip cancellation/interruption.
Debbie
Nicole rbc will top it up. And no I dont work for them! Lol
Terra
I book with CIBC. In August I was in a jet ski accident and my leg was broken. They were phenomenal to deal with. Sent me the forms while I was talking to her and reimbursement was quick. Best part was I could choose my own hospital. Many tell you where to go. They even covered the damage to the jet ski. I won’t buy from anyone else.

Dealing with this right now! I have emergency travel with my employee benefits , Alberta Blue Cross, but remembered I thought I also had it with RBC Visa. Didn't think about any of it, until I took myself and kids to Mexico, and we were delayed coming home because of a medical emergency with my son. ABC covered everything except my daughter's flight home. When I called Visa, they said I also had Travel Interruption insurance, and they'll be covering my daughter's flight (and would have covered all the medical if I didn't already submit with ABC). Definitely recommend checking with your credit card company, they were excellent to deal with, very helpful, empathetic and trying to get me covered for any expenses they could.
