Overseas (Canada) Roadside Assistance Cover - autumnboy

Just returned from driving in Alberta, Canada.

Hired a car from a reputable Car Hire firm in Calgary, after getting as advised an International Driving Permit and DVLA codes of which when told the assistant I had them. Looked blank as to why I had them.

I am planning another trip shortly to Calgary. I have read that it is a better option to sort your own Road Assistance Cover, covering Breakdown - Tyres - Windscreen etc. Cost wise

Anyone know if that can be sorted here or has to be Canada, and advice of who to. appproach.

Thanks

Here's an idea. Why not use Google and find some companies in Canada who offer what you need and then e-mail them to find out if you can sort it before you arrive.

How hard can it be.
