Travel insurance serves as an essential but often underestimated revenue stream for travel advisors. Beyond its financial benefits, offering the right coverage can save both clients and advisors significant stress in unexpected situations, such as medical emergencies abroad. Ensuring that clients have the appropriate coverage not only enhances their travel experience but also protects advisors from potential disputes or dissatisfaction.
However, one of the most frequent objections from travelers is their belief that they already have sufficient travel insurance through their credit cards. While this assumption is common, it can be particularly risky—especially for seniors, who are often more vulnerable to health issues during trips. Credit card travel insurance may come with exclusions, limited coverage, or age restrictions that leave clients underprotected.
To help navigate these complexities, we’ve compiled a full list of Canadian credit cards and associated travel medical insurance details for seniors. Travel Advisors can use this list to quickly cross-check available travel insurance coverage for seniors while interacting with their senior customers.
