Connecting You to Resources so You Can Stay Informed

The world of travel continues to change, and your health and safety remains our priority. As with every trip, travellers are encouraged to review and follow Government of Canada travel advice and advisories (travel.gc.ca/travelling/advisories) and stay informed of advisory levels and COVID-19 activity at their destination.

Community transmission of COVID-19 continues in many countries and we are still in a pandemic. It’s critical for all ARTA members to plan ahead, do their research, and regularly review COVID-19 requirements for their departure, arrival at their destination, and return to Canada, including using the ArriveCAN app. Learn more here: canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid-19/arrivecan.html

Allianz Global Assistance remains committed to protecting ARTA members and their travel experiences in the moments that matter most before, during, and after your trip.

If you have any questions about your ARTA Emergency Travel member plan, please call 1-844-996-9003.

  • Return of vehicle (up to $5,000), excess baggage (up to $500), and animal companion (up to $500)
