Auto and Car Insurance

I hold auto insurance from GEICO. Would the converage be good if I travel to Canada on my personal vehicle?

1. Yes,call them and tell them your traveling...I took a motorcycle trip to Halifax with Geico ins
2. call your agent or the company. some countries require additional coverage.
3. as long as that is the veh,that is coverd
4. Why do you ask here instead of calling your insurance company? Just call them and tell the dates of your travel and they'll add TEMPORARY foreign insurance. If they do not have it, you can buy one right before you cross the border (you'll see signs for insurance before you get to the check point.) ------------------------------------------ To people who say an auto insurance is good anywhere in North America: absolutely not true. Maybe SOME insurance policies include such coverage, but MOST are good only in the USA. Read your policy and find a place where it says "good in Canada and / or Mexico." If you find such a thing in your policy, you have a very unusual one. Please do not reply: "I have it." If you do, great, but it is unusual.
5. Certianly, your insurance is valid no matter where you drive in north america. this includes canada, the USofA,& mexico.
6. Should be fine. It should actually state on the back of your insurance card where it is valid. I live in Canada, and mine is good for the USA as well, I don't pay any extra or anything
7. Assuming you have proper coverage, it is good in Canada. You can verify with your insurance agent or broker that Canadian and American auto insurance policies are good in any state or province.
8. hi check this link its good http://insurancess.notlong.com .
9. If you have a standard auto policy, the coverage territory is the US, Canada & US possessions & territories. That means you are covered in Canada. Read your policy, it will tell you. Also, most auto policies will provide minimum limits per the laws of the state or province you are travelling in. This means that if you have lower limits than the minimum in a Canadian province, your policy will provide the additional limits, without making any changes to the policy & without any additional premium. What you will have to do though is call GEICO & get a Canadian ID card. This ID card is a nonresident ID card & is written in both English & French. The company should give it to you for the time you will be travelling there. You will not be required to show it at the border, but you will be required to show it if you are pulled over or involved in an accident. If you do not have it, you can be in a lot of trouble. GEICO should be able to explain this to you. If they do not know this, if I were you I would call an independent agent to get quotes & change your insurance. I can beat GEICOs prices all the time, so they are not always the best rate. Also, if you have an indendent agent in your area, they will be able to help you with claims & other issues & you can actually go to an office & speak to someone in person.
10. Call Geico and tell them you're going on vacation, and need a "Canadian Non-Resident Interprovincial Lability Card". This will provide proof should you be stopped, that your vehicle is insured for at least the minimums in Canada. Be aware that the amount of Liability coverage needed in Canada tends to be much higher than the United States. Ontario's minimum liability coverage is $250,000.00 Canadian. Most people carry policys with $1,000,000.00 Canadian coverage, and some companies are now writing $2 million dollar policies.
11. You are covered driving to canada for a temporary visit, less than 3 months, longer would not be temporary. Any longer Geico will consider a permanent stay which would then make your policy void because it has been violated.
