Steve,
\nI have purchased our trip insurance several times over the past few years through TripInsuranceStore.com and have a question about amount of trip to cover for an upcoming trip this summer to Svalbard, Norway.<\/p>\n

The original cost of the trip was $7260 pp. We got several discounts including early booking and past passenger bringing the cost down to $5384 pp. We also had some travel vouchers with same company that had been discounted after we booked. Those vouchers bring our final cost down to $1049 pp.<\/p>\n

How much of the trip we should cover for insurance, the cost after the discounts but before applying the vouchers or the original cost of the trip? Thank you, Susan<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wow! That’s amazing you were able to reduce your trip cost down from $7260 pp to $1049 pp! Congratulations!<\/p>\n

As for the trip insurance, you insure your actual out of pocket cost after reductions, vouchers & credits. In your case that’s about $1049 each.<\/p>\n

And, I suggest you round your trip cost up to $1500 each because it’s the same price. The main benefit of you rounding your trip cost up to $1500 each is that you’ll have higher trip interruption benefits if you have to return home early for a covered reason.<\/p>\n

I hope this makes sense.<\/p>\n
