What did BCAA have to offer when you spoke to them?

I haven't talked to them yet. I assume as I'm not a member they won't quote me. Perhaps I'm wrong ?

You can look on their website and pick a package and length of stay and get a quote that is good for a week or so while you compare.

Thank you for some positive info. :)

So much for "FREE" health care.

Huh? The discussion is about travel insurance. What are you talking about.

My neighbour here in Alberta spends 182 days a year down there where they've gone with AMA for the last few years so BCAA might be a good option to look into.

Just trying to correct information for those from other provinces who might also be reading this thread. Good luck with your search. Again read pre-exisitng clauses carefully. Answers questions accurately. Do your research.

Hi LOFAT36 - I'm not an expert - but we have been checking into travel coverage as well - our insurance broker has various companies offering travel insurance plans. The auto clubs (BCAA) are a business and want your business so they will discuss offerings without you signing up. As others suggested read and understand the coverage, pre existing conditions, etc. Air ambulance rides back to Canada are expensive :).
