Travel Insurance "Primary Destination Country"

I'm_With_Stupid

I'm trying to buy travel insurance, but I'm going to Japan and Canada and it will only let me pick one country. So I picked Japan because that's where I'll be spending the most time, but are the insurers then likely to try and get out of paying if I happen to have an injury in Canada? Or even in the American airport I have to fly through?

Yes IMO so phone them up and speak to them PRIOR to purchasing.I would be more worried about the fact that you seem to have booked a holiday for some future date but have no insurance in place.What happens if something goes wrong before you travel?

I dunno. What happens? I'm insuring against an expensive stay in a foreign hospital that I can't afford, not losing a deposit on a hotel I've already paid for.

It's okay, I got insured by Atlas Insurance instead. They let you add as many countries as you want. I'm guessing it's not the best day to be phoning up insurers about things.

You are also insuring against something happening before you travel such as a serious illness - which would then refund the cost of your trip less the excess.
