North America Travel Insurance
From the ski slopes in Canada to the Gulf of Mexico and everything in between, North America is a fantastic destination to explore. Whether your keen to hit up the slopes in Whistler, live the dream in New York or catch the Pro Bull Riders in the Deep South USA, there's something here for everyone.
Travel through North America can be eye opening, exciting, adventurous or relaxing depending on the type of traveller you are. Most importantly it can be expensive. Not only will you find yourself paying through the nose for international flights and struggling to get by in big pricey cities like New York, but if you are unlucky enough to have a travel accident then your wallet will take a pretty big blow.
The costs related to travel accidents in North America are some of the most expensive in the world. If you have a serious accident and end up requiring an ambulance and hospitalisation then you can expect to pay bills in the high tens of thousands or worse. If this accident occurs when you are skiing and you need emergency assistance from the slopes, helicopter rescue and emergency hospital transfers or evacuation then you can expect this cost to at least double.
This is why it is so important that you organise sufficient North America travel insurance well before you travel. Travel insurance will have your medical expenses and emergency assistance covered to an unlimited amount. With iTrek travel insurance you are guaranteed this level of medical coverage as a bare minimum with all of our policies, and you also have 24-hour worldwide access to a team of doctors and highly trained professionals who are only a phone call away should you need assistance.
If you have to cancel flights, accommodation or other pre-paid arrangements because of an illness, injury, family emergency or something out of your control you could find yourself paying huge cancellation fees or sacrificing the total amount if you purchased non-refundable tickets. By having a high level of iTrek international travel insurance such as the Gold or Platinum policies, you will ensure that these costs are reimbursed so you will be able to book your holiday again for a later date.
Likewise you will enjoy cover for your luggage and personal effects if they are lost, stolen or damaged when you purchase iTrek travel insurance. This is especially important if you are taking over expensive items such as cameras, video cameras, laptops or ski equipment.
As you can see, the small cost of a travel insurance policy is next to nothing when compared to the potential amount you could lose should something go wrong, so you'd be mad to leave yourself uncovered. If you have any questions or would like to pay over the phone, please call our friendly staff who will be happy to help you.
