✅ Base Coverage Options

Here’s what you can choose from when building your plan:

Emergency Medical (Worldwide)
Covers unexpected medical expenses while you're travelling, including hospitalization, prescriptions, air ambulance, emergency dental and more.

Trip Cancellation & Interruption
Reimburses you for non-refundable expenses if you have to cancel or cut your trip short due to a covered event (e.g. illness, injury, family emergency).

Trip Cancellation (Only)
Protection if you need to cancel before departure — no interruption coverage included.

Baggage
Covers loss, damage, or theft of your luggage and personal items while travelling.

Inclusive Package
A bundle that includes Emergency Medical, Trip Cancellation/Interruption, and Baggage coverage all in one.

💡 These are the core options offered by TELUS and Koodo, giving you the flexibility to select what makes the most sense for your trip.
