What If My Trip Cost Changes After I Buy Insurance?

It’s common for your trip cost to change after you’ve already purchased travel insurance—final payments, added excursions, or extra flights can increase your total. 

Why Trip Cost Accuracy Matters

  • Underestimating: If you list a lower trip cost than you actually paid, you may not be fully reimbursed if you cancel.

  • Overestimating: If you list more than you actually paid, you’ll pay a higher premium without gaining extra coverage

How to Update Your Trip Cost

  1. Gather your updated receipts or invoices (final payments, added tours, airfare).

  2. Submit a change request form with your insurance agent or provider.

  3. We’ll update your policy with the new trip cost and adjust your premium if needed.

Why Timing Is Critical

  • Always notify us of any changes as soon as you make additional payments.

  • Updates must be made before your departure date.

  • If you purchased your plan within the time-sensitive benefit window (20–21 days from your first deposit), updating your trip cost later will not affect those benefits—as long as you keep your totals current with us.

👉 Use our Change Request Form or contact our office immediately if your trip cost increases.
