The price of visitor insurance plans is mainly dependent on the travellers Age, duration of travel, policy medical maximum coverage as well as the chosen deductible value. Travellers can get quotes either for an individual or for their entire family. This tool has the ability to enter the age of each family member. Customers can include all travellers under one plan. Travelers can enter their age, their spouse's age and any dependent children’s ages. Travelers should also indicate if they are a US citizen or a Non US citizen. This information helps the tool filter the plans accordingly. Since these plans provide coverage for people traveling outside their home country, it should be noted that for US citizens, the United States is their home country. However, if US citizens permanently residing outside the US needing to visit the US for a short visit, we do have
travel insurance for US citizens visiting USA.
