My Travel Guard is not a top-up plan - You have to cover your entire trip's length length (the date you leave home until the date you return home).

Important Information:

- You can't change your coverage dates after you leave on your trip. Your coverage dates must match the exact dates you are away from home.

- The My Travel Guard Snowbird Travel Insurance policy is a reimbursement policy (you pay for your medical treatment & prescriptions up front and are reimbursed after filing your claim). The insurance company may pay the medical claim directly, but it's on a case-by-case basis.

- The My Travel Guard plan has a 180 pre-existing conditions Lookback Period.

** You can waive the pre-existing conditions if you this plan no later than 14 days after your initial trip depost date **

You'll want to know upfront that Travel Guard's prices are based on your age, travel dates, purchase date versus departure date, destination & other factors. For example

1 person age 73, to USA for 3 months with US $50,000 Secondary medical & $1,000,000 with "Hospital of Choice" evacuation:

  • Departure date is the next day = $2,008
  • Departure date is 2 or 3 days in the future = $1,454
  • Departure date is 4 - 7 days in the future = $1,254
  • Departure date is 8 - 13 days in the future = $728
  • Departure date is 15 or more days in the future = $684
This is an example - the prices will vary from person to person

Canadian Snowbird Travel Insurance

"I usually get my travel insurance through Canadian companies but a friend recommends I see what you have to offer. Can you help us?

My wife and I drive to Florida every winter and rent a place for 5 months. She is age 69. I'm age 67. Our annual policy with CAA covers any travel up to 30 days outside our province of Ontario.

We're both healthy but we take different medications with no changes in over a year. We're sick of being penalized for our stable pre-existing conditions."


Our Snowbird Insurance plan does not punish you for your stable pre-existing conditions. In fact, there's no health questionaire to fill out.


This Snowbird plan works best if you have a stable pre-existing medical condition because this plan will not cover:

An Injury, Sickness or other condition of you, traveling companion, business partner or Immediate Family Member which, within the 180 day Lookback Period immediately preceding and including your coverage effective date: first manifested itself or had symptoms which would have prompted a reasonable person to seek diagnosis, care or treatment; or for which care or treatment was given or recommended by a Physician; or required the taking of prescription drugs or medicines, unless the condition for which the drugs or medicines are taken remains controlled without any change in the prescription drugs or medicines.

This Snowbird Travel Insurance plan has
a 180 day Lookback Period:

If you insure a minimum trip cost of at least $1, the 180 day Lookback Period is the 180 days prior to the date you buy this Snowbird Travel Insurance plan.

If you do not insure a minimum trip cost of at least $1, the 180 day Lookback Period is the 180 days prior to your your departure date.

Canada's a fine place to live, except for the winters. Thankfully, your good neighbors to the south have some warm and sunny states. And they mostly speak a recognizable form of English. Plus the US Dollar has dropped in value.

Your only concern is medical insurance - Canadian plans keep going up in price while the benefits keep going down. Plus, they penalize you for following your doctor's orders and faithfully taking your medications. Finally, if you make a claim they feel like you're trying to cheat them.

Here's what another Snowbird says:

We did our business with Steve this year & last year. He is a very nice person & very easy to talk to. He makes sure you are satisfied with your insurance before he will rush you through & hang up the phone. I will surely spread the word about your insurance. Many thanks.
