    The Safe Travel Voyager insurance plan provides a visa letter stating that the Costa Rica health insurance for visitors covers Covid 19 illness, which is used to complete the Health Pass document and QR code generation. Therefore this plan cannot be bought if the traveler has already left the US. This visa letter can be downloaded online after buying the plan online. To only satisfy the Costa Rica health insurance for visitors requirements, you can use a $0 trip cost and the date you purchased your plane ticket or travel package as the trip deposit date, this will reduce the price of the Safe Travels voyager plan.
    The Safe Travels Voyager plan is a trip cancellation plan which means you can insure the value of your trip. However, Costa Rica does not care whether you insure your trip or not.

    If you enter $500 or less for "trip cost", you will pay the lowest possible rate. Also, the policy is not cancellable (except within the first 10 day "free look" period) since it is meant to be used in case of trip cancellation.

    Note that only some specific situations are listed for refund of non-reimbursable costs of your trip (up to what you insured). If you want more flexibility, many people can opt for a "Cancel For Any Reason" rider (or CFAR). If you invoke the CFAR rider, you only get 75% of your money back and you must cancel at least 24 hours before you depart. Note that this policy is technically not extendable as it is meant to cover a single trip only.

    Travelers can compare Costa Rica covid insurance cost and buy online according to their needs.

Costa Rica welcomes tourists post Covid19 with travel health insurance having quarantine coverage

Costa Rica is one among the most popular tourist destinations around the world! The country is situated between the Caribbean and the Pacific. Several beaches, vast coastline and miles of rainforest make it an attractive travel option for those looking for a break. Costa Rica welcomes over 1.7 million tourists every year with billions of dollars as tourism revenue. The tourism industry has been devastated to unimaginable levels due to the outbreak of the pandemic. The government of Costa Rica has been working hard to develop safety measures to bring back tourists to their wonderful country. To welcome tourism, the Central American country has introduced a Health Pass as an important travel document that all tourists require to obtain before they enter Costa Rica.

As the Costa Rican government opened its air borders for foreign tourists in the post covid19 environment it insists that all tourists have travel insurance that covers Covid19 and health and lodging expenses in the event of quarantine due to Covid-19. This policy can be an US travel insurance for Costa Rica however the vacation insurance must be valid for the entire duration of travel and must offer medical coverage expenses for at least USD $50,000.

Travel insurance in times of COVID19

Travel to Costa Rica

Greetings Travelers!

Lovely Costa Rica was a country to quickly open up their borders to tourists post Covid and many have flocked to their fascinating jungles and sandy beaches to get some respite from the daily grind. During the Covid pandemic, the authorities in Costa Rica had several travel related requirements which included having adequate travel insurance to cover you while in Costa Rica. These restrictions have since been removed, however, it is still prudent for travelers to have proper travel insurance while vacationing in Costa Rica.

Along with having coverage while in Costa Rica, US travelers can also make themselves secure by having the ‘Cancel for Any reason’ CFAR coverage. The following are some travel insurance options which work well for a holiday in Costa Rica.The Safe Travels Voyager plan is a trip cancellation plan. Costa Rica does not care whether you insure your trip or not. If you enter $500 or less for "trip cost", this will give you the lowest possible cost of the insurance. However, you can take advantage of the cancellation coverage if you want to insure the value of your trip (that is, what you will lose should you have to cancel before you leave on your trip).

In that case, should you not be able to go on your trip for a set reason, such as: illness, death in the family, jury duty, etc, you will get 100% of the non-reimbursable portion of your trip (you will have to show documentation of your loss). If you want more generous cancellation coverage, you can add a "Cancel for Any Reason" rider to your policy (not available in all states) for a significant additional fee. However, this gives you complete flexibility in cancelling your travel plans. Note that if you invoke this rider, you only get 75% of your money back and you must cancel 24 hours before your set to depart.

Costa Rica travel insurance

A recent addition to this plan, is that you can upgrade the trip delay benefit from $2000 to $4000 or $6000 per person. This allows a more generous daily coverage of your accommodation ($150, $300, and $450 per person per day) which may be more in line with your expected accommodations. The Safe Travels Voyager plan offers coverage of up to $250,000 for medical expenses (exceeding requirements for Costa Rica) with no deductible.

For non-US residents, you can purchase the Safe Travels International plan. These two plans are travel insurance only and they do not offer coverage to insure the value of your trip. However, in addition to the maximum of the policy that you purchase, each policy will have a $2000 trip delay benefit which can be used for quarantine due to COVID-19 (works out to about $150 per person per day of quarantine).


We hope you enjoy a smooth trip to lovely Costa Rica!

Is travel Insurance for Costa Rica mandatory?

Yes. All visitors are required to obtain travel insurance coverage on your trip to Costa Rica. Visitors need to obtain an insurance certificate with complete details of insurance policy covering Covid19 related expenses. Additionally the certificate should include the traveler’s name, travel dates with proof of minimum coverage. Insurance smart cards will not be accepted as a proof of insurance coverage. In an event where you should quarantine the insurance cover will help you protect yourself from any unexpected costs you may not be able to pay.

What kind of travel insurance coverage do tourists need?

Travelers should have insurance policy coverage for medical expenses and accommodation expenses along with Covid19 coverage. Without a Coronavirus coverage in the insurance policy the entry into the country will be refused.
