Car insurance USA / CanadaOne of the biggest problems is getting your motorhome insured. Especially if it is older than 20 years and if you want to enter Canada first.
In April 2017 we started looking for insurance. We wrote to about 30 insurance companies, representations, tourist authorities and even the embassy. It would be possible if we can give a contact address in the USA. Unfortunately we can't. It was desperate!
Then in September the redemption: We received notification from Sue Blood, Thum Insurance and also from Seabridge that motorhomes will be insured again, even if they are older than 20 years.
We asked our own car insurance company whether the insurance could be suspended for the duration of the trip. That is possible. We have to present the papers of the shipment and a copy of the foreign insurance.

Health insurance
For long-term health insurance abroad, we opted for the Axa. That was the cheapest insurance. Many insurance policies are cheap as long as you have not reached the age of 60. Given the extreme price differences, it is definitely worth making a comparison.
Cover letter
Above all, we wanted to ensure the delivery of spare parts. However, most providers have limitations. Europe only - car too high - car too heavy ...
Ultimately, we insured with Ergo.
Marine insurance
It is up to you whether you want to insure your vehicle for the crossing. We handled it through Seabridge.
