VANCOUVER - With winter slowly approaching, there will be many snowbirds heading south to avoid the cold temperatures and the snow that usually comes.
It is not only the snowbirds that will head south, as many others will also book trips to the warmer weather throughout the winter, to get a break from the frigid temperatures.
According to Omar Kaywan, co-founder of Goose Insurance, it is important to get insurance in place before a person takes flight to the sunny south.
Since 2019, they have been helping many vacationers with their insurance needs.
Kaywan said the cost to be in the hospital in the United States can easily be $13,000 for a one-night stay, and this does not include nurses, doctors or medication.
Kaywan went on to explain that their polices have no age limits and only have five simple questions to answer. There is no medical exam, and it can all be done through their app.
They have licensed agents across Canada and can help with many other insurance issues as well.
He has been asked about COVID-19 coverage and they do this as well. It does not matter if a person has been vaccinated or not, they are covered.
“Getting insurance can be a confusing issue,” said Kaywan. “But through our app it is quite simple.”
A person just shops through the app as they would through any other store app.
Their insurance can be a multi-trip package or up to 212 days for those going south.
Kaywan said they have many different insurance packages. One only needs to ask, and they will get the job done.
Based out of Vancouver, Kaywan said they cover all areas of Canada, and are glad to help.
