Insurance
Useful information
At Alta Voyages, we strongly advise you to obtain comprehensive travel insurance when purchasing your trip. At the time of registering for a trip, you will have the option to purchase the insurance package that best suits your needs. If no insurance is offered, contact your advisor for more information.
We recommend, at the very least, getting medical insurance, as medical costs can be extremely high when traveling abroad. This insurance also ensures that you are directed to clinics approved by the insurer, where you will receive quality service.
Cancellation insurance is the only protection that will allow you to recover your money if, for medical reasons, you need to cancel your trip or if your trip is canceled due to situations beyond your control (political unrest, strike, government advisory, etc.).
When purchasing your insurance, it is essential to read the Notice regarding pre-existing medical conditions. The principle is simple: if you have a condition before the trip, and it causes hospitalization during your trip, you will not be covered by travel insurance. The Government of Quebec will cover part of the hospitalization costs, but the remaining balance will not be covered by the insurer.
If you are already covered by travel insurance, make sure to travel with the necessary information, such as your policy number and the 24-hour contact number of your insurance company.
Don’t hesitate to ask your advisor for more information!
