CAA Travel Insurance Review 2024

Updated: Feb 28, 2024, 5:47am

The Canadian Automobile Association, or CAA, is well known for its roadside assistance, but you might not know that it also offers incredibly solid travel insurance—with loads of options for customizing your premium to fit your budget. CAA members also get a 10% discount on their premium. And with coverage for kids, grandkids and even pets, CAA travel insurance is a great choice for families, too.

  • Pre-existing conditions rider
  • Optional medical deductible
  • CFAR and IFAR reimbursement at 75%
  • Additional coverage for air excursions and sports
  • Medical questionnaire required at age 60
  • Limited coverage for adventurous travellers
  • Discounts only available to CAA members

If you’re one of the 5.8 million Canadians with a CAA membership, you’ve probably called for help when you’ve had a flat tire, been locked out of your car or run out of gas during a road trip. But CAA can offer much more than roadside assistance, including travel insurance for Canadian residents for trips both within Canada and internationally, as well as travel insurance for visitors to Canada.

The CAA is made up of nine regional clubs across Canada, including CAA South Central Ontario (that includes Manitoba), North East Ontario, Niagara, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Maritimes, Quebec and Saskatchewan.

This review is based on plans from CAA-South Central Ontario (CAA-SCO). If you live in another part of the province or elsewhere in Canada, your plan offerings may differ.

CAA South Central Ontario travel insurance is underwritten by Orion Travel Insurance, a CAA company.

Here are the key types of travel insurance coverage offered in CAA Insurance plans:

  • Emergency medical insurance: If you become ill or are injured on your trip, travel medical insurance can pay for emergency medical expenses, up to the limits in your plan. These expenses can include doctor and hospital bills, medication and lab work.
  • Trip cancellation insurance: If you cancel a trip for a reason listed in your policy, trip cancellation insurance can reimburse you for prepaid, non-refundable costs.
  • Travel interruption insurance: Trip interruption insurance can pay for a last-minute flight home in an emergency and money that you lose by cutting a trip short, such as non-refundable activities and hotel stays. CAA offers a BounceBack benefit that kicks in if you have to go home to deal with an emergency, you’ll get $2,000 towards a round-trip ticket home and back again.
  • Baggage insurance: Baggage travel insurance can compensate you up to your policy limits if your luggage is lost or stolen. It will reimburse the depreciated value of your suitcases and what you packed. If your bags are delayed, it can reimburse you for the cost of the necessities you buy to tide you over. It also extends to your personal belongings, if they are lost, damaged or stolen.
  • Travel accident insurance. This coverage offers compensation in the event of accidental death or catastrophic injury from an accident during your trip. Flight accident insurance covers injury while you’re on a commercial plane, during a connection or in an airport. Travel accident insurance covers death or dismemberment, including the loss of limbs or eyesight, sustained on your trip.

CAA offers three travel insurance plans: Emergency Medical + Trip, Medical and Trip.

Emergency Medical + Trip: This is the most comprehensive plan that includes coverage for medical emergencies, trip cancellation and interruption, lost baggage and personal documents, non-medical emergency evacuation, medical repatriation, travel accident insurance and more.

Emergency medical treatment includes:

  • Hospital accommodation up to a semi-private room.
  • Physicians’ fees.
  • Laboratory tests and X-rays.
  • Private duty nursing.
  • Ground ambulance service.
  • Prescription drugs.
  • Medical appliances including casts, splints, trusses, braces, crutches or the rental of a wheelchair.
  • Treatment by a chiropodist, chiropractor, osteopath, physiotherapist or podiatrist.
  • Emergency dental treatment due to a blow to the face.
  • Emergency dental treatment due to illness, excluding roots canals or damage to dentures.
  • Hospital allowance for long distance calls, TV rental when hospitalized for at least 48 hours.

Medical: If you’re only worried about medical emergencies while travelling (and not trip protection), this standalone plan offers all of the medical coverage options of the Emergency Medical + Trip plan and includes hospital accommodations, physician fees, lab tests, private nurses and ambulance services.

Trip: If you have medical coverage elsewhere, the Trip plan covers trip cancellation insurance, trip interruption insurance, baggage insurance, travel accident insurance and more.

With a CAA Travel Insurance plan you can purchase family coverage for three or more members, including your spouse, children and grandchildren. CAA even extends coverage to your pets in the event you are hospitalized or repatriated, as well as $300 for emergency veterinary care.

We highlighted key benefits of CAA Travel Insurance to help you identify which plan is the best fit for you.

Here’s a comparison of the Medical + Trip, Medical only and Trip only plans and how much coverage you’ll get.

The price of a CAA Travel Insurance plan depends on factors such as the cost of your trip, your age and the amount of coverage you choose.

Here are some price examples of CAA Travel Insurance plans for healthy travellers based in Ontario through the CAA-South Central Ontario Club. CAA members get 10% off these rates.

If you’re purchasing the Medical only plan, you can also add an optional deductible, or the amount you will pay out of pocket before your coverage kicks in, to lower the cost of your premium. Deductible options include: $300, $500, $1,000, $3,000, $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, $50,000 (USD).

CAA Travel Insurance offers the following riders, or add-ons, for the more adventurous or sporty travellers:

  • Adventurous Air Activities. Up to $5 million covering extra vacation fun while participating in activities that include hot-air balloon rides, parasailing and helicopter excursions.
  • Sports & Speed. If you’re participating in a professional sporting event or motorized speed contest, this provides coverage for any accident or illness while you’re competing, training or practicing while you’re away.

Here’s how these add-ons could affect your premium:

If you’re renting a car while on vacation, the optional Rental Vehicle Damage Insurance add-on will pay up to $80,000 for rentals up to 80 days.

CAA members in the CAA-SCO Club receive 10% off their premium for any travel insurance plan. (Other clubs may offer different discounts. For example, CAA Maritime members receive a 15% discount.)

Here’s an example for the Medical + Trip plan:

Yes. If you travel a few times a year (or more!) it may be cost effective to buy multi-trip insurance , also known as annual trip insurance. CAA Travel Insurance has two plan options: The Multi-Trip Plan that offers medical coverage only for four, eight, 15 or 30 days, and the Annual Vacation Package Plan that offers medical and trip protection coverage for eight, 15 or 30-day periods. If you stay longer than the number of days in your plan, you can purchase a top-up.

CAA Assistance is available 24/7, 365 days of the year and can help you when you’re faced with an emergency. Support includes:

  • Directing you to an appropriate physician or hospital at your trip destination.
  • Providing multilingual interpreters to communicate with physicians and hospitals.
  • Monitoring your care and ensuring only appropriate and medically necessary treatment is given.
  • Communicating on your behalf to your family and physician.
  • Paying hospitals, physicians and medical providers whenever possible.
  • Arranging necessary transportation, such as an air ambulance, whenever necessary.

When you call CAA Assistance, you’ll need to provide your name, policy number, your location and the nature of your emergency. If you don’t contact CAA Assistance before receiving medical treatment, you may be limited to reimbursement of 80% of eligible expenses, to a maximum of $25,000.

If you’re not dealing with an emergency (say you’re holed up in your hotel room with a migraine) but you’d still like some medical advice, CAA Travel Insurance offers a Virtual Emergency Medical Assistance and House Call Service, which provides 24/7 and unlimited number of virtual visits to medical professionals via virtual healthcare.

According to CAA, 80% of cancellation claims are because a traveller, or one of their immediate family members, gets sick or injured.

Trip cancellation insurance covers things like:

  • You are a family member, or your travel companion or their family members, is sick, injured, quarantined or dies.
  • A blizzard, hurricane or volcano, for example, hits your home or you’re burgled within seven days before your departure.
  • You lose your job.
  • You’re called for jury duty.
  • The business meeting, conference or event you were travelling to is cancelled.
  • There’s a new travel advisory.
  • The travel supplier you bought from goes out of business.
  • Your passport is not issued in time.

CAA also offers Cancel For Any Reason insurance, which offers the following reimbursement if you cancel for a reason up to three hours before departure other than those listed:

  • 75% CFAR reimbursement if your travel is booked through CAA Travel.
  • 50% CFAR reimbursement if your travel is booked through another provider.

While trip cancellation covers any issues that happen before you leave, trip interruption covers issues once you’ve already left home.

Trip interruption insurance covers issues, such as:

  • A missed connection due to bad weather, road delays or a road accident.
  • A medical emergency back home.

CAA also offers Interruption For Any Reason insurance up to $2,500, that covers you for any reason outside of your policy to the following limits:

  • 75% IFAR reimbursement if your travel is booked through CAA Travel.
  • 50% IFAR reimbursement if your travel is booked through another provider.

For travellers under age 60, CAA Travel Insurance will not pay any claims due to any sickness, injury or medical condition that is not stable in the three months before your departure date (and for travellers age 70 to 84, your condition must be stable for six months), unless you purchase the Pre-Existing Medical Condition rider that reduces the waiting period to seven days and covers to a maximum of $200,000.

Here’s how this add-on could affect your premium cost:

For travellers under age 60, CAA Travel will also not cover any lung condition if in the three months prior to departure you received treatment with Prednisone.

For travellers age 60 to 84, CAA Travel will also not cover any lung condition if in the three months prior to departure you received treatment with prednisone, or any heart conditions if you had heart bypass or valve surgery more than eight years prior to the departure date; if you were taking three or more medications for your heart; you were diagnosed or treated for a heart condition, diabetes and high blood pressure; or you were prescribed or are taking medication for heart failure.

There are a number of scenarios not covered by travel insurance and it’s critical to know what not to do before you make a claim only to be told you’re on the hook for all associated costs. The following are some of the most common issues not covered by travel insurance:

  • A claim against an unstable pre-existing medical condition. CAA defines a condition as unstable if you have sought medical treatment for that condition, if new or existing symptoms appear or there has been a change in medication or the dose you take.
  • Ongoing medical treatment or services. Your coverage treats the emergency then gets you back to Canada for further treatment. The emergency medical coverage does include medical follow-up in Canada.
  • Non-emergency, experimental or elective treatment, including cosmetic surgery, chronic care or rehabilitation.
  • Pregnancy (other than unexpected complications) or a child born on a trip.
  • Injury or illness as a result of alcohol or drug abuse.
  • High risk activities, such as being in the air (balloon, kite balloon, paraglider, parasail, parachute, kite, wingsuit, etc.), unless you’ve purchased the Adventurous Air Activities rider.
  • Travelling against medical advice or not following medical advice in regards to treatment.
  • Travelling to get medical treatment, included diagnosis, palliative care or alternative therapy.
  • Suicide or attempted suicide, or any self-inflicted injuries.
  • Travelling after the Canadian government issues a “Avoid non-essential travel” or “Avoid all travel” advisory.
  • Any professional sports, unless you purchase the Sport & Speed rider.
  • Air ambulance services, unless approved in advance.
  • Damage to or loss of contact lenses or prosthetic teeth or limbs.

Due to high call volumes, CAA recommends you file your claim online or by email. You can file a claim online 24/7 by logging into your account via CAA’s partner Global Excel Management. You can also visit the CAA website and download your appropriate claim form. Depending on the kind of claim, you will also need to provide supporting documentation. For example, for a claim on your baggage insurance for a theft, you’ll need to submit a report from the police. After the claim is submitted, you will receive an email confirmation with your case number.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does caa travel insurance pay for medical costs upfront.

Yes, in most cases CAA will pay hospitals, physicians and other medical providers directly. However, the insurer notes that some providers require direct payment. In that case you will be reimbursed for “reasonable and customary costs.”

Does CAA Travel Insurance cover COVID-19?

It depends. You are eligible for the $5 million emergency medical coverage if you’re fully vaccinated and $2.5 million if partially vaccinated for any COVID-19-related illnesses that occur while travelling.

Does CAA Travel Insurance offer coverage extensions?

Your coverage is automatically extended for five days due a travel delay due to inclement weather or mechanical failure, or a sudden and unforeseen illness. If you are hospitalized, your coverage is extended for the period of hospitalization, plus five days after discharge. You can also request an extension if you want to stay longer provided you apply before the expiry date of your policy and you haven’t made any claims.

Does CAA Travel require a medical questionnaire?

Yes. Travellers age 60 and over must complete a medical questionnaire that asks questions such as: Have you visited the emergency room more than once in the last 12 months, have you been a smoker in the last five years, have you had surgery in the last 12 months and have you received treatment or medication for cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, cancer, neurological conditions or respiratory conditions. If it’s discovered that you do not answer the questions truthfully, you’ll be responsible for the first $5,000 of any claim.

Does CAA Travel Insurance have any age restrictions?

Yes. Medical + Trip coverage is available to travellers age 84 and under. Trip Only coverage is available at any age.

Should I Use a Travel Agent? Our Travel Expert Says It Makes All the Difference.

The new age of travel agents know how to find deals, book off-the-beaten path adventures, and get you out of any jam. Especially if you know who to use.

I’ve always thought that planning my own trips was the most cost-effective way, but I’ve been hearing more about travel agents making a comeback and saving their clients a lot of money. What kinds of outdoor trips should I turn to a travel agent for, and are there any who specialize in working with adventurers like me?

Technically, I’m a professional traveler. As a journalist, it’s my job to research and connect with locals to get beneath the surface of a destination. So I have never really used travel agents. What could they plan better than I could?

A lot, it turns out. Over the years, I’ve gotten to know many travel specialists, and I consider them magicians. My big aha moment happened two winters ago on a trip to Iceland . A massive storm shut down internal flights for a day, causing me to miss my return flight to the U.S. Normally, I would have spent frustrating hours on hold with the airline. But because I’d paid $65 to have Ana Gloria Garcia, an air-support specialist at the travel agency EmbarkBeyond, find and book the most affordable and convenient flight option for me, she handled the rebookings while I soaked in the Blue Lagoon.

During the pandemic, agents became advocates helping travelers get refunds on canceled flights and trips. As travel has come roaring back, an agent’s superpower is now their access to the best hotel rooms, most in-the-know guides, free amenities, and more, says Cory Hagopian, senior vice president of sales and partnerships for Virtuoso , a global network of travel agencies.

And they’re attracting a young clientele. According to a recent industry survey , 38 percent of millennials and Gen Zers are opting to use travel agents as opposed to booking on their own trips. That number is far greater than Gen Xers and baby boomers, of whom only 12 and 2 percent respectively use agents.

What Do I Gain from Using a Travel Agent?

I recently had a friend tell me she spent close to 40 hours researching a family trip online. She probably could have gleaned the same intel from an hourlong conversation with a travel adviser. Knowledge is priceless, and advisers act as your insiders. They know what you don’t and fill in the blanks for things you might not have considered, says Erika Richter, a spokesperson for the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA). Their firsthand knowledge, vast network, and on-the-ground connections all combine to provide a unique perspective for crafting the perfect itinerary for you.

Kayak, paddle, raft—a river trip down Costa Rica’s Pacuare is good fun. And Danielle Meyer of Coastline Travel likes to book clients in the riverfront, all-inclusive, 20-suite Pacuare Lodge. “The way to get to the property is by whitewater rafting, so you truly begin with adventure!”

Most travel advisers specialize in certain regions and countries and travel to them frequently, so they have up-to-date intel on not only the best safari camps but the perfect tent to book for the most incredible views and the best local restaurants you won’t find on Tripadvisor. They want their client’s trips to go well to keep them coming back, so it’s in their interest to have sussed out hotels and itineraries before they send you out into the world.

Nicole Forster, 29, considers herself a savvy traveler. She’s been to 20-plus countries and enjoys destination research. But when it came to planning her honeymoon in Africa, she felt overwhelmed, so she reached out to Danielle Meyer at Coastline Travel Advisors , which specializes in bespoke itineraries. “Originally, I wanted to go to South Africa, Victoria Falls, and Madagascar,” Forster recalls. “Danielle convinced me that if we wanted to relax, we should stay in South Africa and save the other countries for separate trips.”

Over five phone conversations and multiple emails, they crafted a 15-night itinerary that included Cape Town, the winelands, the Cape Peninsula, and a safari at the Thornybush Game Reserve. Forster established her budget early in the process, and Meyer sent her a variety of lodge options to choose from.

“I initially wanted to start with the safari, but she pointed out that we’d be jet-lagged and would need to wake at sunrise for game drives,” says Forster. “The safari was our highlight, so it was a perfect way to end the trip.”

A man sitting in an open-air vehicle while on safari in South Africa smiles at the camera while an elephant is just over his shoulder, approaching.

Not only did Meyer book all of the flights, hotels, and transfers, but she created a detailed, day-by-day trip app for the couple that included useful information like check-in times at hotels and how much to tip guides .

Agents also act as advocates. If something goes wrong during your travels, they’re on call 24/7 to handle it. When Forster left the battery and charger for her camera at a hotel, Meyer arranged for an on-the-ground contact to go to a camera store and buy new ones that would be delivered to her hotel the next day.

The cost for the honeymoon planning: $150 per person. “I wouldn’t use a planner for a trip to Hawaii ,” Forster says, “but if I ever took a big trip like this again, I’d 100 percent work with an expert.”  

When to Consider Using a Travel Agent

For savvy trip planners, the best time to use a travel agent is for complicated international travel. It can save you hours of planning and peace of mind that if anything goes wrong in your chosen far-flung destination, there’s someone a What’sApp message away to handle it.

Domestically, I’d consider using a travel agent when planning a multi-week national park trip or multi-island trip in Hawaii. They will save you time, guarantee you get the best guides, and help you land reservations at always-booked lodges and hotels.

Dream Trips Delivered

Jessica Cook and her husband both work in the travel industry. Decision fatigued, they handed their honeymoon logistics over to the team at Askari Travel , an agency that specializes in South Africa. Their original plan was also an African safari, but just as they were about to put a deposit down, the Omicron variant of the coronavirus made headlines. Worried about getting stuck abroad, they reached out to Askari’s founder, Muriel Truter, who is from Zimbabwe, and upon her advice, changed their focus to South America.

Knowledge is priceless, and advisers act as your insiders. They know what you don’t and fill in the blanks of things you might not even have considered.

Truter suggested they stick to Colombia rather than country-hop. Cook supplied a budget and a wish list: 12 days, no more than three destinations, a barefoot-luxe feel, and adventures like horseback riding and mountain biking. The rest was a surprise that Askari pretty much nailed, with the exception of one hotel.

“Everything felt so authentic, but this one hotel on Barú island felt really fabricated and was full of American tourists,” recalls Cook. She immediately messaged the Askari team, saying, “Hey, this place really isn’t our vibe,” and within an hour they were on a water taxi headed to Blue Apple, a B Corp hotel—and an Outside pick for tropical adventures —on Tierra Bomba island. “It was honestly the best trip we’ve ever taken,” she says.

Tierra Bomba, a 15-minute boat ride from the Colombian capital of Cartagena, is an affordable Caribbean destination with a relaxed pace and soft white sands.

Are Travel Agents Expensive?

It depends. Cost varies. Some travel agencies won’t charge any fee, as they receive a commission from the bookings, while some high-end agencies will charge pricey annual membership fees for their services. Still others charge nominal “professional” fees starting at $150. Fees often fluctuate based on the length and intricacy of a trip and how far out you do the planning (6 to 12 months is recommended). You may occasionally come across agents who charge a percentage of the total trip price or hourly rates.

Basic travel enquiries are generally free. In 2016, Leah Smith, founder of Tafari Travel , opened an old-school brick-and-mortar location in Denver’s Cherry Creek neighborhood so her services would feel less intimidating to first-time users. “With our retail-office location, we’ve become part of the community, and both clients and non-clients are welcome to pop in and ask whatever questions they may have, no charge,” she says.

Matt Lindsay, founder of the surf-guiding and travel company LuxSurf Travel , builds relationships with resorts and property owners to get discounted rates that he can then pass on to guests.

Matt Lindsey of LuxeSurfTravel can arrange a surf safari on a 165-foot boat, complete with dive masters. surf guides, and a spa. Guests spend a week cruising around atolls in the Maldives seeking out perfect swell and swimming with whale sharks and manta rays.

Dominic Allan, the founder of Real Latin America , specializes in travel to Belize and Nicaragua and caters to independent travelers who are happy to book their own flights and hotels but are seeking his local intel. Allan’s three-tier pricing structure starts at $300 for up to three hours of phone calls, during which he might weigh in on where to eat (or not to), the best room to request in a certain lodge, or whether you really need a guide to hike.

”Totoro Eco-Lodge, in Nicaragua, has always been one of our favorites,” says Dominic Allen of Real Latin America. In addition to its laid-back vibe, it’s spectacuarly placed on Ometepe Island, with views out to the active Conception volcano. Allen recommends volcano hikes, rainforest excursions, tours of a chocolate farm, and sunset paddles in search of caiman.

Value Versus Savings

If you’re just looking for deals and steals, you might not be ready to work with a travel adviser, says Richter of the ASTA. “Anything you invest in with a travel adviser comes back to you in the form of amenities, customer service, peace of mind, better access to unique experiences, and handcrafted itineraries,” she says. “You could save money by cutting your own hair, too, but most people go to someone who knows what they’re doing.”

Agents work with preferred partners who can guarantee perks for clients, such as free upgrades, early check-in or late check-out, and resort credits. Those add-ons often translate into savings, says Justin Huxter, cofounder of the UK-based Cartology Travel . “We had a client go to Maui for a week, and because of our partnership with the resort, breakfast was included,” he says. When breakfast costs $120 for two, that’s a savings of $840.”

Some of the Best Travel Agents in the Adventure World

Some of my go-to resources for finding a person to work with include travel expert Wendy Perrin’s annual Wow List of tried and trusted agents, the Adventure Travel Trade Association’s adviser network , and the ASTA’s advisor directory .

In addition to the agents mentioned throughout this story, others I highly recommend for adventurous travelers include:

  • Dan Achber of Trufflepig , for Africa and the Middle East
  • Miguel Cunant of Sri Lanka in Style
  • Javier Echecopar of Journey Costa Rica
  • Daniel Fraser of Smiling Albino , for Southeast Asia
  • Elizabeth Gordon of Extraordinary Journeys , for Africa
  • Kleon Howe of the Art of Travel , for French Polynesia
  • Jay Johnson of Coastline Travel , for Hawaii and California
  • Antonello Losito of Southern Visions Travel , for Puglia, Italy
  • Rabia Malik of Fora Travel , for general worldwide travel
  • Robyn Mark of Mayamaya Travel , for Africa, the Alps, Patagonia, and Japan
  • Marisol Mosquera of Aracari , for Peru and Bolivia
  • Zach Rabinor of Journey Mexico
  • Raluca Spiac of Beyond Dracula , for Romania

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
