Video Testimonials
We all hope to have selfie-worthy experiences when we’re on vacation. But it doesn’t always work out that way. Watch these Canadians as they tell their tales of what happened when things went wrong on their trips, and how Manulife was there to help make their experience a little more selfie-worthy.
Alycia
Fernie, BC
Alycia was enjoying some tropical heat, until she didn’t feel so hot. A nearly $3,000 claim helped her feel better.
Jane
Vancouver, BC
When Jane’s brother fell ill in Italy, she was called to the scene. Their claim saved them over $48,000, and helped save her brother’s life.
Malcolm
Charlottetown, PEI
Malcolm was having a blast on a ski trip, until his vacation went downhill. But after saving almost $17,000 on medical costs, things were looking up again.

Why is travel insurance so important?
Take a moment to see what this insurance covers and the services it provides you and your family.
The cost of this insurance is much less compared to the financial loss you will be protected from if you have to interrupt or cancel your entire trip unexpectedly. The cost of this insurance is also small in comparison to the potential costs of an unexpected medical emergency in a foreign country.

Did you plan for the unexpected?
Did you pack your flip flops? Your sunscreen? Your travel insurance?
Travel insurance is a travel companion you should choose to help you through unexpected events that may arise before or during your trip.
Emergency medical insurance
Around the world, Manulife World Travel Insurance has been there to help insureds with managed care when necessary in a foreign destination, using the local languages, helping by pre-paying hospital and physician bills where possible. This insurance also helps recovering insureds get back home to their friends and family if it is medically necessary and when it is arranged by our Assistance Centre.
Trip cancellation & interruption insurance
Recent events around the world have caused unexpected travel costs or trip cancellations and interruptions for which some travel insurance provides coverage.
Volcanos affecting worldwide airport traffic, travel supplier bankruptcies, travel advisories and weather conditions are just some of the events that you may have heard about in the news. These events may have caused travellers to pay additional transportation costs, hotel and meal expenses and other unexpected costs, so they could continue their trip or travel back home. These events, and others, are covered, subject to conditions, limitations and exclusions, under Manulife World Travel Insurance.
Other covered events are missed connections due to airline schedule changes, the illness or death of you, your family member, your travel companion or your travel companion’s family member, or even the hospitalization or death of a friend. These are just some of the reasons to protect your trip investment if you have to cancel or interrupt your trip.
Other plans available include coverage for lost or stolen baggage, benefits for meals and necessary items when your checked baggage is delayed more than 10 hours, flight and travel accident and rental vehicle damage insurance.
Before you travel, check to ensure you have the coverage and assistance services you need
- If something unexpected were to happen during your trip, do you know who you would call for worldwide assistance?
- If your spouse had an unexpected medical emergency during your trip, would you know who to call for managed care or to arrange an air ambulance to a hospital near home, if necessary? Would hospital bills be paid up front, if possible?
- If you missed a substantial portion of your trip due to bad weather and wanted to return home, would you be reimbursed your unused trip investment, including any insured taxes?
- If you or a family member suddenly became too sick to travel just before your trip, would you be reimbursed by a cheque or just a travel credit voucher for future travel?
- If you needed help in a foreign country, to replace lost credit cards or your passport, would you know who to call for assistance and how to arrange to get you back home, 24/7 with a toll-free call?
Manulife World Travel Insurance provides coverage for these unexpected events and much more.
Ask your Travel Gurus for a travel insurance policy to see the full details.
