Your travel coverage options.
We help you take care of unexpected expenses if something happens. Whether you end up needing it or not, we’re here to help.
Travel Medical
This covers emergency medical and accidental dental expenses while on your trip, as well as evacuation and repatriation costs if you’re sick or injured.
Trip Cancellation
This helps cover the costs of cancelling your trip before you leave, such as recouping non-refundable expenses and cancellation fees for things like tour packages, flights, concert or sport event tickets, ski packages, and accommodations.
Trip Interruption
Covers the costs of trip disruptions or delays, or if you need to return home ahead of time because of sudden illness or injury.
Air Travel Delay
If your flight is delayed by at least four hours, this coverage can help cover accommodation, meals, additional transportation, and entertainment costs. If your baggage is lost or delayed for over six hours, this coverage can cover purchasing essential replacement items.
Visitors to Canada
Covers anyone visiting or living in Canada without provincial healthcare coverage. Includes emergency medical costs for visitors, foreign workers, returning Canadians who’ve been abroad, and landed immigrants. We can also cover visitors to Canada who are here for adventure travel such as backcountry hiking or skiing, mountain biking, mountaineering, rock or ice climbing and more incredible outdoor activities.

Answering your most common questions.
Can I get travel medical insurance with a pre-existing condition?
Yes, Acera Insurance can even provide coverage for unstable medical conditions!
Do I need a separate travel insurance policy if I have coverage through my credit card?
It depends on your credit card’s travel insurance policy. Make sure you understand what the coverage includes and what exclusions apply. A separate policy may be beneficial if your credit card coverage isn’t adequate for your needs. We commonly see that credit cards don’t provide enough coverage, not enough days or trips are covered, they have age restrictions, coverage doesn’t include trip cancellation, and it may not cover anyone travelling with you.
I’m travelling to another province in Canada, do I really need travel insurance?
Yes, as medical expenses may not be fully covered if you’re outside of your province of residence, even if you’re travelling in Canada.
I want to mountaineer, heli-ski, ice climb or do another “high-risk” activity, can I get coverage?
Yes! Acera Insurance makes it easy to get coverage for adventure travel and high-risk activities including mountain biking, ice climbing, rock climbing, mountaineering, backcountry skiing, heli-skiing and more. It can be really tough to find coverage for these types of activities as they’re not covered by standard travel policies.
Do you offer cancel-for-any-reason trip cancellation coverage?
Yes, Acera Insurance offers cancel-for-any-reason trip cancellation coverage.
