Annual vs. Single-Trip Travel Insurance Calculator

Traveling more than once this year? Find out whether an annual travel insurance policy saves you money — or costs more than buying per trip.

Step 1 — Your Trips This Year

Add each trip you're planning or have already taken this year. The calculator estimates the single-trip policy cost for each and compares the total against an annual policy.

Step 2 — Annual Policy Cost

Enter the annual policy premium you've been quoted, or let the calculator estimate based on typical market rates. Annual multi-trip policies typically run $300–$600 for a single traveler.

Step 4 — Premium Credit Cards You Hold (Optional)

Select any premium cards you carry and use for travel. Their built-in coverage reduces what you actually need to buy — the calculator will adjust its recommendation accordingly.
