Where to buy Travel Insurance?

Travel Insurance, making the right choice!

Cost is always a concern, but insurance advice is often more important than insurance price.


2 ways to buy insurance
  1. In person from a licensed insurance agent or broker
  2. Online or by phone from a licensed insurance agent, a broker or an insurance company

Get advice
You might be able to get a cheaper insurance quote online, but advice is critical. Especially if you have pre existing condition.  We would say that advise is even more then critical.  You or your family could suffer financially if you are under-insured or not fully covered.

Find an adviser or agent that specialized in travel coverage, their main job, is dealing with Travel Insurance.  Offering travel insurance, does not make you a specialist in the filed.   Get their advice on what types of insurance you need – and how much to buy. 

In most cases, the cost of the advice is built into the commission they earn on the sale of insurance to you.


IMPORTANT: Confirm if your agent is licensed, hard to believe, not all are licensed.

Looking for Travel insurance?

Who can offer Travel Insurance in Canada?


Who can sell Travel Insurance in Canada?

  • Brokers
  • Direct Agents
  • Travel Agents

Broker or Agent: What’s the difference?
  • Some life insurance agents work for just 1 insurance company.
  • Other life insurance agents work for insurance brokers who can quote prices and tell you about products from a number of insurance companies.
  • All licensed agents are trained to assess your insurance needs and must follow a code of ethics that puts your insurance needs first.
If you want to make sure you get the right coverage, we always, in ALL cases, that you speak to a LICENSED agent or broker.  

Would you let a Dr. operate you if he wasn't licensed...?  Well, we believe the same should be true in the insurance.  Why would you take advise from a non licensed provider....?

Make a wise decision, Travel coverage are not all the same!

IMPORTANT: Confirm if your agent is licensed, hard to believe, not all are licensed.
