SPONSORED BY GETAWAYINSURED getawayinsured.ca/apply After two and a half years, it truly feels like travel is pretty much back to normal. Snowbirds are ready to get back to warmer places during the winter months, families are traveling abroad, cruisers are cruising, and Canadians are free of the restrictions that bounded us home and kept us away from the people we care about and the destinations we love. More so apparent than ever is the importance of travel insurance. Most insurers are covering COVID-19 and any complications that could arise from the sickness. Quite simply, insurance is there to cover you for COVID in a similar way as if you were to catch pneumonia. Of course, it is there for all unforeseen medical emergencies as well, and importantly, stable pre-existing conditions. As a brokerage, we have options for 6-months of stability, 3 months of stability, and even riders for 7-days stability. Snowbirds may be noticing the prices for some providers have increased dramatically since the last time they have traveled. With as many options as we have, we have heard more than a few sighs of relief that we have something much more affordable, or in the case of many past clients, not a drastic difference. We also have various deductible options to bring prices lower. We are positioned well, as we are every year but perhaps more so than ever, to find the right product for you. We work with many products underwritten by the top insurers in Canada, including fantastically priced white-label products that are available to only a few experienced brokerages, such as GetAwayInsured. It brings us pride that insurers trust our expertise to allow us to have these options available for you. This gives us an incredible advantage to offer you the best price available for appropriate coverage that will cover important pre-existing conditions. Our process is thorough and straight forward in order to obtain all necessary information before we scour the market for the best option. Not just a call center, we work with you and are here for you. Trip Cancellation and Interruption - Protecting your investment The answer is"Yes", we have affordableTrip Cancellation and Interruption that will cover you if you test positive for COVID-19 and cannot travel. Of course, we cover other unforeseen circumstances as well, just as we have been doing for years. We have noticed a much higher demand for this product post-COVID and we are happy to offer it for your peace of mind. After years of not traveling, the costs for the travel arrangements are higher on average than the past. After years of not being able to travel and still many uncertainties, it is an option to consider and we implore you to give us a quick call for a price. Everyone Benefits from a Referral! We are pleased that a great deal of new business we receive are referrals from happy clients. Many are pleasantly surprised and happy when they get a lower price from us than they have elsewhere - our track record is excellent. Then, they refer their friends, and it goes on and on as we save everyone money and give them peace of mind. If we don't have the best price, at least the caller knows that this year, they are aligned with best priced product. But, every year, prices change, people get older, and new medical conditions may arise. So, for the next trip, we could very well have a much better option. Give us a call or use the link below to submit an application, even if you've called us before - we look forward to helping you.
