Help with Visitors Insurance

[dannypm]

Hi all,

I will be visiting Canada in few weeks time and looking at getting travel insurance.

Should I get something like Visitors to Canada insurance from a Canadian company?

Or should I get travel insurance from a company in my country of residence?

Thanks,

Depends whichever company offers more convenience for you to claim if something arises.

its highly advisable to buy travel insurance from Canadian company only..
this is because to 2 major factors.
1: they will quote you a premium which is very realistic though might be little high.
2: if a claim incur they will honour it and pay it as per policy guidelines.

if you buy travel coverage from your home country there are chances of fallling a claim under exclusion which local insurance company are not ware what services are covered in North america and what not.

so safe few $ you will jeopardise the whole reason of buying the travel insurance.
