Insurance

Travel insurance covers you for a certain number of days but travel plans can change and vacations sometimes get extended. We’ll top-up your existing travel insurance coverage (even if it’s through another provider) or extend your current CAA Travel Insurance plan so you can keep travelling protected. You can visit a CAA Store, call 1-800-705-1803 or get a quote online.

Add more days of coverage with a top-up or extension to any of the following insurance plans.

CAA has been my go-to for travel insurance every time I leave Canada. I always feel well-protected and more at peace when I use CAA for trips.
