Costa Rica Travel insurance with Covid 19 Coverage

Tips about the Safe Travels Voyager plan, Find the best Costa Rica covid travel insurance cost

The Safe Travels Voyager plan is a Trip Cancellation insurance. You can insure the value of your trip (that is, any non-reimbursable costs you would lose should you have to cancel your trip last-minute. However, this is NOT a requirement of Costa Rica. If you want only to cover the basic Costa Rica covid insurance requirements for the lowest price, you can do so by entering $500 or less for "Trip Cost" per person.
If you do want to insure the value of your trip, a number here above $500 will add to the cost of the policy, but may be worth it for you since you will be able to get your money back should you have to cancel for an approved reason via the policy (see brochure for details).
If you want more flexibility in your cancellation options, then you can choose for the "Cancel For Any Reason" rider (not available in all states). This option is only available if you

• Insure the entire value of your trip costs (air and accommodation, etc) AND
• Purchase the insurance within 21 days of your INITIAL deposit for your trip.

Note that invoking this rider, you will only get 75% of your documented losses for your trip. However, this will give you the most flexibility as border closings due to COVID are NOT usual options on a trip cancellation policy. You can literally cancel for whatever reason you choose.

What is this quarantine/accommodation benefit? Where can I find it?

The accommodation benefit is a trip delay benefit on the policy. The Trip Delay benefit can be used in case of quarantine or other delay for at least 6 hours on your trip. Be sure you keep all documentation of your delay and receipts of extra expenses incurred during that time. Covered trip delay expenses may include: pre-paid unused and nonrefundable expenses of accommodations, reasonable food and lodging expenses, expenses of rejoining your tour/group and even a one-way economy fare ticket to return you to your originally scheduled return destination. If you are kenneling pets at a facility near your home and they will have to stay longer, this can be reimbursed as well as expenses they incur if you are traveling with your pets! Note that the Trawick International Costa Rica Safe Travels Voyager now allows you to increase your trip delay expense to $4000 or even $6000. If you are traveling with pets or think you may have additional expenses, this may be a good option for you!

Does Safe Travels Voyager meet Costa Rican requirements for travel there?

YES! This is the only US based company we are aware of that offers the minimum $2000 trip delay benefit (they call it a quarantine/accommodation benefit). Others offer cover for COVID-19, but the key component is the trip delay benefit. Unfortunately, you cannot purchase only this part of the plan. However, since it meets ALL the requirements (exceeds the $50,000 coverage which includes COVID-19 illness), you don’t need to have anything else! Furthermore, you will get a "Visa Letter - Visa to visit Costa Rica requirements" for each person on the policy which will explicitly state all the relevant benefits of the policy AND the fact that it covers COVID-19 like any other illness.
