Family-owned insurance company established in 1964,
Three of our team members' insurance coverage kicked in while travelling with our team in Japan in 2024.
During our September visit to Japan, our Destination Research Team (a.k.a. Travel Bloggers hahaha) had purchased TuGo's coverage for their 10-day trip. Three in our party had suddenly come down with serious flu symptoms en route to Kyoto. Within 24hrs of their arrival each required serious medical respiratory care. After easily connecting to and speaking directly with a knowledgable TuGo representative, the 3 team members were given much needed, urgent info regarding their policy and coverage. They were also provided with a valuable tip directing them to a nearby medical clinic that surprisingly offered medical services in English (not all Japanese clinics, or businesses in general, including restaurants for that matter, offer services in English). They were also given a friendly, crucial reminder from the TuGo rep reminding them to ask for and retain all receipts, copies of any prescriptions and all pertinent records including any doctor's notes for claim submission(s) to TuGo.
The company's personal, knowledgeable approach to client communications on an international call, helped ensure our team members' complete satisfaction. BTW the medical clinic visit was a quick 30 minute in and out, here's your prescriptions, thoroughly efficient process not unlike pretty much everything else that's organized, designed or engineered by the Japanese.
Within a few weeks they received their reimbursement for their combined medical visit and prescription charges and that firsthand experience, matched with our team's direct comparisons of TuGo's competition, which lead to TuGo's designation as Canada Snowbirds Preferred Travel Insurance Provider. TuGo, making travel to the sun, simply a breeze.
