What affects cost

Deductible Choices depends on trip cost, traveler age, destination, trip length, benefits, and optional coverage. Use this page to medical deductibles and out-of-pocket exposure.

  • Prepaid nonrefundable trip cost.
  • Traveler age and state of residence.
  • Destination and trip length.
  • Medical, evacuation, cancellation, and optional benefit limits.

How to compare price and value

A lower premium may come with narrower covered reasons, lower limits, missing optional benefits, or stricter documentation rules.

  • Compare the certificate, not only the price.
  • Use the same trip cost across quotes.
  • Check purchase deadlines for optional benefits.
  • Review claim documents before departure.

When to revisit the quote

Update the quote if trip cost, traveler list, destination, dates, or activities change.
