Travel Underwriters is a leader in the Canadian travel insurance marketplace, developing unique products to protect travellers for more than 40 years. Together with affiliate OneWorld Assist, it delivers the highest level of support when travellers face an emergency through a multilingual customer call centre and experienced travel assistance team. 

A pioneer in travel insurance
Since 1964, Travel Underwriters has been at the forefront in launching new travel insurance products. It was the first in Canada to offer Trip Cancellation/Trip Interruption Insurance, and the first to develop a multi-trip medical insurance policy designed for frequent travellers. 

Travel Underwriters provides creative and comprehensive protection for any travel emergency through its core emergency medical products and its wide range insurance options. 

Pre-eminent firms including certain Lloyd's Underwriters, severally and not jointly, and Industrial-Alliance Pacific Life Insurance Company underwrite our travel insurance lines.
