Anyone that has travelled from Canada, what company have you used for travel insurance? Finding lots that are in US prices but wondered about some Canadian companies other than Blue Cross. Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Canadians traveling to Thailand recommend several travel insurance companies beyond Blue Cross, including Tune Insurance, TruGo, Allianz, and Medipac. Users share experiences with the affordability and reliability of various options. Notable mentions also include Safety Wing, known for its comprehensive coverage and fast activation, as well as AKA Thai Insurance and the use of platforms like rates.ca for quotes from multiple Canadian providers.

I have used AKA Thai insurance. And also Safety Wing. No feedback because I never needed it.

I like Safety Wing because it covers just about everything, and u can buy it within seconds and be covered immediately. And u cab also cancel just as fast.

I know many digital nomads and YouTubers use it and I have always heard great things.

Check out rates.ca to get quotes from loads of CAD companies. I've had Allianz thru TravelCuts and MSH Canuck Voyager. Both were reasonable and provided excellent service.

I usually use TruGo. Haven’t had a claim so can’t comment on that part but it was very affordable. I get it through my local insurance provider.
