It's important to be prepared – the unexpected cost of emergency medical treatment is the single most expensive hidden cost you could face the next time you travel. Set your mind at ease with Meridian Travel Insurance which provides:

• Up to $5 million for emergency treatment of an injury or sickness
• Emergency medical evacuation via air ambulance to a hospital in your province when possible
• Up to $3,000 for treatment of a dental injury as the result of an accidental blow to the face, and up to $500 for relief of acute dental pain from other causes
• Up to $3,000 to transport a family member or close friend to your bedside if you're hospitalized, plus up to $1,000 for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by that family member or friend
• The cost to return an accompanying family member home-when necessary-young children may also be escorted
• Coverage for acts of terrorism

Other benefits include:

• Meals & Accommodation
• Return of Travelling Companion
• Return of Vehicle or Watercraft
• Pet Return
• Return of Deceased

Two plans to choose from:

• Single trip Emergency Hospital & Medical – this covers you and/or your family for up to 365 days on a single trip.
• Multi-trip plans cover an unlimited number of trips outside of your home province up to 15 days per trip.

There are several types of coverage you can count on when you are planning your trip that can be bundled together to create a comprehensive travel insurance solution. If you require more than Emergency Hospital & Medical, you can also add on one or all of the following, or simply purchase these on their own if you are already covered medically:

• Trip Interruption
• Accidental Death & Dismemberment
• Flight Accident

In the unlikely event you need to cut your trip short due to an unexpected event, your return trip home can be covered up to a cost of $2,000.  This coverage takes the financial burden off your shoulders of paying for expensive last-minute tickets to fly home in an emergency.

Once your trip starts, Trip Interruption insurance provides coverage amounts of $800, $1500, or $2,000 for one-way economy transportation home, up to the coverage amount.

Trip Interruption insurance is available to anyone at least 15 days old who is travelling to and from Canada.
