BlackJack2 Posted January 20 #1 Share Posted January 20 We have always used Allianz for travel insurance, but see that Costco has travel insurance through Zurich provided by Cover-More Inc. Has anyone had any experience with Cover-More travel insurance? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozcruizer Posted January 20 #2 Share Posted January 20 We use Cover More and on our last cruise I was unlucky enough to come down with Covid which meant four days of cabin isolation, diagnosis and anti-viral medication. We put in a claim to Cover More and they are paying out everything we claimed. We've never needed to claim anything previously on thirteen cruises so we are happy with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare horseymike Posted January 20 #3 Share Posted January 20 To obtain a Cover More policy did you have to purchase your cruise from Costco Travel ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If you book through Costco Travel, the premium is 5% of the insured amount and you can do it all online. If not booked through Costco Travel the premium is 6.5% of insured amount and you have to call Cover-More. You do need a Costco membership, however. I haven't had to file a claim with them, but the insurance coverage is very good, IMHO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare horseymike Posted January 20 #5 Share Posted January 20 I did not book our cruise through Costco, so I will try calling them . When I tried to book online , the premium looked quite reasonable. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found older threads that say there are differences but there is no follow up. For example do both policies include 50% CFAR? Are premiums for both policies not dependent on age? Is there a link available to a sample policy for both situations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackJack2 Posted January 21 Author #7 Share Posted January 21 You may book through Costco, with your Costco membership number. If you book your cruise through Costco Travel, then you receive a greater discount on the insurance. If you don't book through Costco, you still receive a discount, but not as much. You need to call Costco Travel / Insurance and talk to a person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayW Posted January 26 #8 Share Posted January 26 I just bought Cover-more insurance. I didn't purchase the cruise through Costco, the premium cost is 6.5% of the trip cost regardless the ages of the travelers. Only the primary person (person who purchases the insurance) needs to be Costco member. Given the advanced age of some in my party, the premium is half compared to other companies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
