How to Use The BestQuote Travel Insurance Free Quote Service

Get informed about your travel insurance options.

We provide you with all the information you'll need to learn more about your travel insurance options.
Each menu item on the left is a page of information. When your cursor rests on the item a short description will appear. So 'For Canadians' is its own page, and beside 'For Canadians' you'll see other pages to go to for more specific information.
Likewise, 'Q&A' has answers to General Questions, and beside 'Q&A' you'll see other Q&A pages with more frequently asked questions. Please read through the areas that you find informative.
At the bottom of each page, you'll find more links to our terms of use, privacy policy, security statement, etc.

Get a quote from Canada's top travel insurance companies.

In the top left corner, you'll see two drop-down menus to use to ask for a specific quote. Choose the type of traveler you're looking for, then the category of travel insurance. You'll be asked enough questions for us to provide a quote (departure date, destination etc). Once you click the green 'Get Quote' button, you'll be shown something like this:

Compare policy prices and wording.

On the quote display, you'll immediately see the prices that the insurance companies may charge for your requested coverage. You can change the deductible to affect the price, or add optional coverage if you want. You can view a summary of each policy, or the policy details. If you choose to Compare details, any coverage category can be clicked to bring up the exact wording that each company offers. We've made it easier to compare!

Buy online and save your time and money (for traveling!).

Beside the final premium, you'll either see a blue Purchase button, or a red Medical button that would indicate that you need to answer medical questions to determine the exact rate that you'll be charged.
Once you have answered the medical questions and your quote has been adjusted, the purchase button will appear. You may want to answer the medical questions at more than one company to find the best price.

When you click the Purchase button, you'll be asked for some application information, including your trip information, enroute to purchasing the insurance. It's quite easy to navigate on your own, but if you need any help, please call us.

Save your travel insurance quotes, purchase info, and contest entries in your member area.

Even if you don't purchase any insurance at this time, you can still save a quote, email a quote to someone such as your travel companion(s) or the person(s) you are thinking of buying it for. Just sign up to be a BestQuote member (on the top of your quote page).
