Importance of Travel Insurance as Costs Rise

As travelers pay more for vacations – it means they have more to lose if they need to cancel, cut a trip short, or experience any number of travel issues. A comprehensive travel insurance policy is an efficient and cost-effective way to protect that investment. 

The Cost of Travel Insurance

A travel insurance policy can typically cost anywhere from 4% - 10% of your total prepaid, nonrefundable trip cost. For example, if a trip costs $1,000, a policy may be anywhere between $40 - $100.

The price of a policy is determined by several factors (e.g., age, cost of trip, amount of coverage), but comparing policies on InsureMyTrip.com can ensure travelers find the right amount of coverage for their budget. 

Maximizing Travel Insurance Benefits

Buy Travel Insurance Early:

This allows travelers to take advantage of time-sensitive benefits like Cancel for Any Reason, or financial default. Travelers could become ineligible for these benefits in as little as 10 days after making a trip deposit. Coverage for pre-existing conditions may also be available if a policy is purchased within a certain timeframe and all requirements are met.

Buying early also boosts potential coverage for unforeseen events. Once an event is considered known, like a bad storm, travel insurance will not cover any losses related to the event. 

Provide Accurate Trip Costs:

Travelers are advised to provide the accurate cost of a trip so they can be reimbursed for the proper amount in the event a claim is filed for a covered cancellation or interruption. Also, some coverages, such as Cancel for Any Reason, will require travelers to insure the full, prepaid, non-refundable trip cost to be eligible for that benefit.
