Partly Covered Isn’t Covered

CAA Travel Insurance¹ offers comprehensive coverage options that exceeds what your credit card may provide, ensuring you travel with peace of mind.

Know your coverage. Travel worry-free.

Credit cards often provide limited coverage. It's important to know what benefits are included and the amount of coverage you have before travelling.

Use this detailed checklist to discover any gaps in your credit card travel insurance.

What do I need to know about my coverage?

Do I need to pay for my travel with my credit card to be covered for travel insurance (emergency medical, trip cancellation and interruption benefits)?
Who is covered under my credit card’s travel insurance policy?
How many days of coverage are included?

Emergency Medical Insurance

Can I top up/extend my policy?
Will my medical expenses be paid up front if I make a claim?
What is the stability period for pre-existing medical conditions?
Is there an age limit for medical coverage?
What is not covered under my credit card's travel insurance policy? (These are called “exclusions”)
Does the policy have a deductible that you must pay for each claim?
Does the policy deny benefits if your medical emergency arises because of a health problem you already had when your trip started? (This is called a “pre-existing medical condition”)
Does the policy require you to determine – by yourself – whether you meet the insurance company's health standards before you can buy?
Are there specific policy exclusions that pertain to sports or other activities?

Trip Cancellation & Interruption Insurance

What is the amount payable for a trip cancellation and interruption claim?
