Planning to visit Turkey? Your travel insurance coverage may no longer be valid.
That’s the message that the CBC asked me to share in the wake of this summer’s coup attempt in Turkey, which led to a government of Canada travel advisory to “exercise a high degree of caution” while in the country.
But what does this have to do with insurance? Turns out, your travel insurance coverage may be invalidated if a government advisory is issued before you leave on your trip. That’s why it’s important to always consult the fine print of your policy—and to keep abreast of the government of Canada’s travel warnings whenever you’re planning a trip abroad.
