How do the travel benefits on my credit card work?

Credit card travel benefits can work in many ways. For example, they may:

  1. Provide insurance for travel expenses
    Depending on the travel benefits included with your TD credit card, you may be insured for certain travel related expenses (i.e. car rentals) and you could also be insured in certain situations (i.e. medical emergencies).
  2. Come with additional Travel Medical Insurance
    Timeframes vary depending on your age, the length of the trip and the type of credit card.
  3. Make it easier to make a claim
    In the event of a claim, you’ll want to contact our claims administrator to initiate your claim. It helps to have all your receipts available during this process.
