Prices up in 2024?

[Native Floridian 26]

I just made my final payment for my April Transatlantic, and while I'd been getting quotes for my trip, I didn't have much nonrefundable expense to warrant buying the insurance until now.  Anyone notice prices up about 20% since a few days ago?  For months the prices didn't change.

Hi Native Floridian 26,

 

I haven't seen any travel insurance price increases for almost 18 months. One of our companies lowered its prices four months ago by up to 45%.

It is probably just the policy I'm going to buy, the Nationwide Essentials. They always were priced well below others, now they aren't. For my trip, it's been about $95 for several years, now it's $115.

Just a thought.

Is the price increase possibly due to you may have crossed an age threshold?

Good idea, but our ages haven't changed for several months while I've been quoting.  Interesting now I don't even get a quote from Nationwide on SM, while I still get the elevated rate on IMT.
