TravelInsuranceQuotes.ca has published a new travel insurance purchasing guide to help travelers determine whether they should choose a single trip plan or an annual plan.

If you plan a major vacation each year or if you are a Canadian snowbird then most likely would benefit most from a single trip travel insurance plan. Single Trip plans ensure that you purchase coverage for only the number of days you plan to be out of province.

If you are a frequent traveler, say if you own a cottage in the USA and travel there frequently, then an annual travel insurance plan would be most cost effective. Annual plans cost about double the single trip plan yet allow you to be covered for unlimited trips outside your home province.

For Snowbirds there can be a significant savings by combining the two plans. We have seen, in numerous cases, that a Canadian senior actually may pay less money when purchasing a 30 or 60 day annual plan and purchasing a top up for the remainder of the trip.
