Anyone recommend anything. Tried DogTag before but @ £106 for 2wks its quite expensive?
Cheers
Snowcard are pretty good: It really isn't something you want to save on so don't let the cost put you off going for the best company.
£106 seems about right, and a bit less than I've paid for the last few years.
We use essential travel and buy an annual policy. We tick lots of the optional boxes for skiing, kit, bikes, rescue, worldwide and its about £200 for the 2 of us for the year
"North America" init - it's 2 or 3 times the cost of European travel insurance (Thanks for that EU).
I thought it was unfair to tar Canada with the same brush as the US for medical costs, I was sure they had some kind of NHS thing, but then I saw the invoice the guy who broke his back in Whistler Bike Park got, it was a brutal amount of money.
I used worldnomads every time, always seemed reasonable although £100 for two weeks doesn't sound far off the mark...
The Canadian healthcare seems like the NHS at point of use but only because the government pays the private provider on your behalf, assuming you have a BC healthcard. You'd still be lucky to get anything more than a cursory examination and totally half hearted diagnosis though, from someone who looks like a Rolling Stone who's temporarily stepped off his yacht party to practice medicine... I eventually resorted to presenting myself to A+E to get someone to take a look at my back after I'd been agonising pain for a week, funnily enough this seems to be the way the UK is heading...
Anyway, I digress, world nomads.com for insurance!
Cheers, looks like dogtag is about right then...
