FAQS
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital cellular plan from a carrier without the need for a physical SIM card.
With eSIMs, you can switch data carriers without needing to obtain and insert a new SIM card! This is particularly useful for travellers who need to access the internet outside of Canada.
Please note, eSIMs do not support voice call and SMS texting for the time being.
Your device must be carrier-unlocked and eSIM-compatible. You can check out this article to see if your device is supported.
We’ll also let you know before you purchase an eSIM in-app if your device isn’t compatible.
Travel insurance covers a whole host of things when you travel, either domestically or internationally. It helps offset the cost of trip interruption, illness, loss of baggage, and even repatriation.
Travel insurance has a few different coverages, depending on the type and level of policy you select, including:
- Emergency medical services: Coverage for unexpected medical emergencies abroad, including hospital visits, treatments, and emergency transport.
- Trip cancellation & interruption: Protection if your trip is unexpectedly canceled or interrupted for a covered reason, helping you manage unforeseen changes.
- Accidental death & dismemberment: Financial protection for you or your loved ones in the event of severe injury or loss of life while traveling
- Lost or damaged baggage: Coverage for lost, stolen, or damaged baggage and personal items while you’re traveling.
- Rental car protection: Coverage for damage, theft, or liability when renting a vehicle, so you can drive worry-free.
The cost of travel insurance will vary for each trip, depending on your personal details as well as things like trip duration and cost. To give you an idea, the price of a 5 day trip can start as low as $20*
*This price is an estimate for an Emergency Medical Premium, based on a 30 year-old male travelling from Ontario to Mexico for 5 days at a trip cost of $1,000. The price varies based on personal, trip and other details unique to each person.
