How do I purchase AMEX® Travel Insurance?
Get a quote online in minutes by filling out the form on the AMEX® Travel Insurance home page, or by calling +1-844-200-8959.
What is the maximum number of days I can buy travel insurance for?
You can purchase travel insurance for up to 365 days, which will cover you beyond the maximum number of days allowed outside your Canadian province or territory of residence. This is provided you receive written permission from the provincial government in your province of residence to maintain your provincial government health insurance coverage beyond the regular maximum in advance of your departure. In the event of a claim, you will be asked to provide such written permission.
When should I buy travel insurance?
If you are planning on travelling outside your home province or territory, it’s important to purchase travel insurance before you leave, to help protect yourself in the event of a medical emergency. If you plan on purchasing pre-paid travel arrangements, you may wish to consider purchasing trip cancellation/trip interruption coverage at the same time in order to protect your investment should you have to cancel your trip due to a covered reason.
How do I file a complaint in relation to the service or coverage I have received?
If you are not satisfied with the service or coverage you have received, we encourage you to provide your feedback through the following Complaint Handling Protocol which can be found on the following page - Customer Satisfaction | rsagroup.ca . We want to ensure that your concerns are handled fairly and efficiently.
