Away from Home Insurance

Healthcare can be expensive no matter where you travel. It’s critical to purchase supplementary coverage not only when you leave Canada, but also when you travel within Canada (outside Manitoba).

 

What is Away from Home?

CAA’s own Away from Home insurance provides worldwide emergency medical assistance with emergency hospital/medical travel health insurance.

What does it include?

With Away from Home protection, you can have up to $5,000,000 in emergency medical coverage.

There is no age restriction for this plan. With competitive rates, you can choose a plan that works best for you with our annual plan or single trip plan.
