Insurance

Whenever travelling outside your country, it is always a good idea to get a travel insurance policy, which will cover medial, theft, or loss for yourself and family. Be sure to check if it covers sporting activities. Canada is tourist-friendly, but it’s best to be prepared.

If you are travelling in a rental car, rental companies will provide you with details on car insurance during your vacation. The insurance will be very helpful if you happen to be involved in a car accident. The British Columbia Automobile Association (BCAA) sells Visitor to Canada Insurance once you have arrived in British Columbia.

BCAA is affiliated with the American Automobile Association (AAA) and provides information and roadside assistance. When calling for information purposes, call toll free 1-800-663-4636.

If calling for roadside assistance from Canada or the USA dial 1-800-CAA-HELP (1-800-222-4357), from your mobile phone dial *222, and if you are in the Vancouver area dial 604-239-2222.
