Frequently Asked Questions

Strongly recommended. Provincial/state health plans provide minimal coverage abroad. Look for: emergency medical ($1M+ coverage), trip cancellation, and baggage coverage. Credit cards often include trip cancellation and collision coverage for rental cars if you pay with them. Check your card benefits before buying separate coverage.
Bank exchange rates are typically 2–3% above the interbank rate. Credit cards with no foreign transaction fees (Scotiabank Passport Visa, Chase Sapphire) give you near-interbank rates. Avoid airport exchange kiosks (often 8–10% spread) and always pay in local currency when traveling.
⚠️ Trip costs are estimates. Exchange rates fluctuate. Travel insurance terms vary by provider.
