Hi Kashlee,
When purchasing SafetyWings, I got this message - Your address is located in Canada. Due to restrictions and regulations we cannot sell you insurance if you are currently physically located there. You can cross the border in any way and buy insurance immediately when you have left.
I confirm that I am not currently physically located in Canada.
I am not planning to go outside Canada just to buy this. And I cannot buy insurance once I have started my trip. So how does anyone from Canada get this?
Wouldn't buying from Canada void the whole contract?

I am Canadian and I use both Safteywing and HeyMondo a lot. SafetyWing currently doesn't have a license in Canada, so they require you to be out of the country to get it. If you are not already on your trip, try using HeyMondo instead, or a combination of the two

My husband and I are in our early 70's and do a lot of travelling. Does anyone know if Safety Wing and Hey Mondo cover our age group?

No I'm sorry, both providers don't cover over 70

I have just received the following reply from HeyMondo. Since I did not see the required accommodation coverage of USD$2000 on the Online quote I had received. I asked for clarification. Keep in mind I am in Canada. Here is what they said:
I'm Giuseppe from the Customer Care department in Heymondo; first of all thank you for contacting us to protect your trip.
In response to your message, we confirm all travel insurance plans that you see in our website cover medical assistance even in the event of infection by Coronavirus.
So if you had to be hospitalized for days due to illness / Covid-19 that would be covered (as well as the return flight in case it takes longer and you miss your first flight).
However hotel expenses due to quarantine is not covered. The policy covers hospitalization and repatriation only
We remain at your disposal for any further information you may need.
Kind regards, Giuseppe Del Buono Heymondo Customer Service

Blue Cross seems to offer one that may be accepted. I am waiting for a response from them. To make sure they meet the Cr requirements. They do cover covid, but their accommodation coverage was not mentioned on the quote, only listed on the site.

Has anyone found a Canadian insurance company that fulfills the $2000 USD lodging coverage requirement for costa rica?
