Like any other kind of insurance, the cost of travel insurance is determined by a number of factors, including:
- Trip duration
- Trip cost
- Age of insured
- Type of plan - e.g., trip cancellation, medical only, etc.
- Medical benefit and/or deductible (this is if you need medical coverage during your trip)
- Â Insurance plan features or coverage upgrades, such as medical coverage upgrade, additional baggage, additional accidental death and dismemberment and/or accidental death and dismemberment air only, broadened cancellation coverage, sports rider and rental car collision
Generally speaking, the average cost of travel insurance is about 6% of the total trip cost. However, the premium may be lower with minimal coverage plans, or higher with more coverage. Likewise, coverage plans with deductibles also affect the cost of travel insurance - higher deductibles have a lower premium and vice versa.
