Wondering what travel insurance will cost for your upcoming trip? This calculator gives a quick estimate based on total trip cost.
Estimated Premium = Total Trip Cost x (Insurance Rate % / 100)
Example
A $3,000 total trip cost, 6% insurance rate:
Premium = 3,000 x 6% = $180.00
The Typical Rate Range
Travel insurance premiums commonly run around 4-10% of total trip cost, depending on coverage level (basic cancellation coverage versus comprehensive medical and evacuation coverage), traveler age, and destination.
When Insurance Becomes More Worthwhile
Trips with higher non-refundable costs - prepaid tours, expensive flights, non-refundable hotel bookings - generally make insurance a more worthwhile consideration given the larger total amount financially at risk if the trip needs to be cancelled or cut short.
