TORONTO, Nov. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — InsureMyTrip, Canada’s leading travel insurance comparison website, is excited to announce the launch of the TIPS Post-Departure Plan, underwritten by Old Republic Insurance Company of Canada. Designed for travellers who already have trip cancellation coverage through a credit card or other protection plan, this comprehensive policy offers important coverage for a variety of post-departure needs, including trip interruption, emergency medical expenses, and baggage loss or delay.
This new plan exemplifies InsureMyTrip.ca’s commitment to offering flexible insurance solutions that meet the diverse needs of Canadian travellers.
Key Benefits of the TIPS Post-Departure Plan:
- Trip Interruption: Coverage for unused cruise and/or land arrangements (up to the sum insured) and unlimited return flight expenses in case of interruption.
