Reduce your premium by selecting a different deductible

The higher the deductible you choose, the lower your premium will be. However, in the event that you make a claim, you will have to pay the deductible amount that you have selected. What decision you make will depend in part on your tolerance for risk. Would you rather pay a deductible of $500 if you have to make a claim, or pay $50 more for your premium when you purchase the policy?

  • Deductibles available in Canadian or U.S. dollars
  • Standard and hospital deductibles available

We offer a range of deductible options that help reduce the premium you pay, making your coverage more financially affordable.

Emergency return trip

While you are on a trip of 30 days or more outside Quebec, what if a member of your immediate family back home dies or is hospitalized for at least seven consecutive days?

What if your primary residence is damaged, making it uninhabitable, or your business is damaged, making it unusable?

In cases like these, emergency return trip insurance allows you to make a trip back to Quebec and then return to your travel destination.

How about a combination package?

Upon request, many insurance companies, recognizing the needs of frequent travellers, will offer a combination of an annual policy for emergency medical expenses and an extension covering a given number of days for a longer trip.

The advantage of a combination package is that it enables you to make an unlimited number of short trips outside Quebec after you return to the province from a long trip, as long as you meet the eligibility criteria set by the RAMQ (Régie de l’Assurance Maladie du Québec) and have valid health insurance.

A Eureka Travel Insurance agent can advise you on the maximum number of days that you’re allowed to spend outside your province of residence.

Various discounts and benefits available
  • Travel companion discount
  • Early-bird discount
  • Discount with standard deductible
  • Discount with hospital deductible
  • Discount based on age (purchase before your age group changes)
  • Combination package (benefit from annual multi-trip insurance plus extended coverage from the same insurer)
  • Discount for divided stay
  • Promotional discount offered by an insurance company

Eureka Travel Insurance’s agents can help you find the ideal solution, based on the many offers available from different insurance companies.

Certain exclusions and benefit reductions may apply, which vary from one insurance company to another.
