About Us
Welcome travelling Canadians and thank you for giving us the opportunity to provide you with Travel Medical Insurance.
Your provincial government health insurance plan has severe limits on out-of-country coverage for unexpected medical emergencies. The limits vary by province but, on average, only cover 5-10% of a typical out-of-country hospital, clinic or doctor’s medical expense leaving you responsible for 90-95% of the total. Travellers Choice offers coverage to a maximum of $5 million CAD per insured person, per trip, for medical emergencies occurring while travelling outside your home province.
Since 1991 we have become one of the largest travel insurance brokers in Canada. Every year our clients reapply with us and many refer their family and friends to us. We serve thousands of new clients every year and this year we want to serve you. Our promise is this: a selection of quality products, low rates, (and lower than most “snowbird” plans), deluxe coverage, and the best service in Canada.
We were one of the first travel insurance brokers in Canada to:
- Introduce a travel insurance newsletter for Canadians
- Introduce a medical questionnaire to rate applicants
- Guaranteed same-day service
- Eliminate all service charges and all administration fees
- Provide "No Questions Asked" refunds
- Introduce a paperless online application. Applicants can purchase coverage online and receive all of their travel insurance documents within minutes so that they can depart Canada immediately. The online application does not have to be printed out, signed or mailed. The online application is easy to use, safe and secure.
We wish you good health and safe travels.
