Health & Travel Insurance in Toronto, Ontario

Health and travel insurance covers the gaps that OHIP and workplace benefits leave open: dental and vision care, prescription drugs, paramedical services like physio or massage, and emergency medical costs when you're outside the province or the country. In Toronto, this category includes independent brokers, agents tied to specific insurers, and firms that build group benefits packages for small businesses as well as individual and family plans. With 105 businesses listed here, the range runs from solo agents who specialize in visitor-to-Canada or snowbird travel coverage to larger firms handling corporate benefits renewals.

When comparing providers, look at whether they work with multiple insurers or just one, since a broker tied to a single company can't shop your rate around. Ask how they handle claims support after the sale, not just at signup: a good agent stays reachable when you're trying to get a claim paid, not just when you're buying. Check whether they clearly explain exclusions, especially pre-existing condition clauses on travel policies, since this is where most claim denials happen. For business owners, ask about renewal history and whether the firm proactively reviews your plan as your staff or needs change, rather than just auto-renewing each year.

Our scoring weighs how firms are reviewed by past clients, how responsive they are, and how clearly they communicate coverage details before you sign anything.
