Factors that determine insurance price

The monthly premium or cost of the Schengen Visa insurance plan depends on the following variables:

The age of the traveler: The older the Schengen visa holder, the more expensive the monthly plan cost
The maximum medical coverage selected: The options range from $50,000, up to $1,000,000, the higher the coverage amount, the higher the premium.
The selected deductible: A 'deductible' is the amount of the medical costs the customer pays before the insurance plan provides any coverage. Most plans provide several options ranging form $0 to $2500 (travelers over age 60 years may not have the $0 deductible option). The lower the deductible, the higher the premium.
The co-insurance on the plan: 'Co-insurance' is the percentage on medical expenses borne by the customer AFTER the deductible is paid off. Most plans do not have a coinsurance outside the USA.
The insurance underwriter: There are different underwriters such as AIG, Lloyds, Nationwide, etc. Premium will correspondingly vary for different underwriter.
