(Toronto, Ontario – December 5, 2011) � Calling all Canadian snowbirds! Starting this month, PC Financial® Travel Insurance to Go is available for seniors looking to make a worry-free escape from winter’s freezing temperatures.
Expanding its current offering to include Canada’s active seniors, PC Financial® Travel Insurance To Go now provides up to $1 million dollars in emergency medical travel coverage for seniors aged 60 to 74* in one easy package. For less than $100, this includes single person coverage for up to eight days, when travelling to out-of-province and worldwide** destinations.
“Canadian seniors can now enjoy their next vacation stress-free by picking up PC Financial® Travel Insurance To Go at their local grocery store,” said Maria Forlini, Senior Vice President of President’s Choice Services Inc. “Customers are then one quick call or click away from being able to relax and enjoy their holiday knowing they’re covered with our reliable emergency medical insurance offering.”
Launched earlier this year for families (two adults and up to four children under 18) and individuals under 60, PC Financial® Travel Insurance To Go was the first in Canada to offer travellers the opportunity to buy emergency medical travel insurance in a retail setting.
Effective today, interested seniors can pick up their PC Financial® Travel Insurance To Go at more than 550 Loblaw store locations across Canada (excluding Quebec and New Brunswick), where President’s Choice products are sold. Available in-store at PC Financial pavilions or gift-card kiosks, PC Financial Travel Insurance To Go can be purchased at the cashier and activated by phone or online prior to departure.
