The average cost of a policy with an insured trip cost was $309, compared to $82 for policies without a trip cost. The premium varies by policy, depending on five primary factors: total trip cost, age of travelers, length of travel, the policy type, and total coverage amounts. Policy Type Comprehensive travel insurance policies with Trip Cancellation, Emergency Medical, Travel Delay and coverage for luggage are the most expensive, while policies without the Trip Cancellation benefit are often significantly less expensive. That Will Directly Increase Your Policy’s Premium Certain travel insurance benefits are considered “optional upgrades”, and will result in a direct increase in the cost for travel insurance policies.

Many countries around the world require foreign travelers to have medical insurance in order to enter the country. This was a growing trend even prior to the coronavirus pandemic, due to an increase in unpaid medical bills from visitors. However, following the widespread impacts of the pandemic, this requirement is becoming more prominent especially as COVID-positive may need extensive, and expensive treatment. More countries have begun requiring travelers to purchase medical insurance that specifically includes coverage for treatment of coronavirus and we expect that trend to continue.
