Looking to soak up some sun, or escape somewhere warm? The Winter Travel Season is here, and the Chambers Plan has you covered!

Travel Changes & Government Updates

The Chambers Group Insurance Plan is one of the only insurance companies that has not made any changes to their travel policy since the start of the pandemic. Your coverage is still in place, even with the “Avoid Non-Essential Travel” advisory from the Canadian government. Coverage will not change until a level 4 travel ban “No International Travel.” If you have any questions about the Canadian travel advisory, or cruising status, please contact our office at [email protected].

COVID Related Coverage

The Chambers Plan covers COVID 19 related illnesses. If you or your dependents are hospitalized or need medical assistance due to COVID, you are covered. The only exception, is any quarantine expense, or quarantining related expense such as testing – will NOT be covered. If you test positive for COVID while travelling and are forced to quarantine, you will be required to cover any flight changes, hotel/accommodations and meals out of pocket.  Again, these will NOT be covered under the Chambers Plan Travel Policy. However Manulife Financial, currently offers a product for this, which provides up to $200 a day for a single individuals, and $400 per day for a family unit or couple, towards quarantine related expenses. If this is something that interests you, you can find the policy details on our Travel Page, or reach out to Pearse at our office for more information.
