Travel Insurance File
Your Marketplace for Travel Insurance

With this issue, TravelinsuranceFile launches its Canadian Snowbird Edition 2010/2011, an out-of-country insurance marketplace and travel news service designed to help you simplify and get the most for your money when planning your forthcoming winter vacation. Here’s the deal.

We know that buying travel insurance can be confusing—especially if you are not in perfect health. And even then, you need to know where to get the best deals, how to avoid the pitfalls hidden in the fine print, and how to get the coverage that best suits your needs without paying more than you have to.

You may have pre-existing conditions; you might be covered for a portion of your trip by pension or employer-sponsored insurance; you might only need to top up your coverage; or you may be traveling to a part of the world where you might need trip cancellation or interruption options. We will deal with all of these scenarios by offering you choices from Canada’s top providers of travel insurance—not just one provider, but many. These are the same providers who administer hundreds of different programs for brokers, associations, motor clubs and affinity groups across Canada. All meet our criteria for essential benefit coverage for Canadians.

Scroll down the homepage and you can examine their various offerings and even purchase right online.

Agents can answer any of your questions.  We will be adding more providers over the course of the summer and fall. And if you have any further concerns or want further advice, just click on

Ask The Editor on the top blue line and I will deal with your query personally.

In addition, we will be providing you current news and analysis about developments in your vacation destination—Florida, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, California, Hawaii: hometown news about property taxes, real estate purchasing opportunities, civic concerns, cultural and leisure opportunities as well as safety and security advisories. Concerned about oil spill effects on the Gulf Coast, border unrest in Arizona or Texas, tax issues in California, documentation requirements in Cuba?  We’ll keep you posted through our own up-to-date Newsletter service.

And if you sign up to receive our free email news advisory, we’ll deliver the latest news to you on a regular weekly basis—even to your smart phone. Just sign up here: it’s free.

Thanks for being a regular visitor to TIF.
