2024年5月22日 - 11:00PM
As Canada's camping season commences, enthusiasts are set to enjoy
some of the world's most breathtaking natural reserves and vast
wilderness areas. With the camping industry projected to generate
$331 million this year, InsureMyTrip.ca shares vital tips for a
secure and enjoyable experience.
Key Safety Recommendation for Campers:
- Food Safety -
Campers are advised to store food securely away from tents and
elevated off the ground to prevent wildlife encounters.
- Fire Compliance -
During dry conditions, be vigilant of fire bans and maintain clean
surroundings to prevent wildfires.
- Protection Against
Poisonous Plants - Wear protective clothing and carry remedies like
calamine lotion when hiking through areas with potential plant
hazards.
- High Altitude Health
Precautions - Stay hydrated and be aware of altitude sickness
symptoms such as headaches and nausea.
- Emergency Medical
Travel Insurance - If you are travelling to another province,
territory, or country to camp, your Canadian Government Health
Insurance Plan may only partially protect you. An
All-Inclusive policy is a good way to protect you from costly
medical emergencies and other unexpected travel-related issues like
trip cancellation/interruption and baggage loss/delay.
Understanding Travel Insurance for Campers:Travel
insurance can help cover various unexpected issues that can occur
while camping.
- Campsite Reservation
Costs - Prepaid, non-refundable campsite reservations can be
insured.
- Camper/RV Rental
Fees - Similar coverage applies for pre-booked, non-refundable RV
rental fees.
- Travel Complication
- Coverage may include trip cancellations or interruptions due to
accidents, breakdowns, or road closures.
- Natural Disasters -
Depending on the policy, coverage might extend to situations where
a campsite becomes uninhabitable due to natural events, contingent
on travel advisories.
It’s extremely important to read through and understand what a
policy does and does not cover. If you have any questions,
InsureMyTrip’s licensed Customer Care representatives can walk you
through a plan, so you better understand what you’re buying.
