## What this 2026 price guide covers

Planning a vacation to the Dominican Republic and just want the exact price for travel insurance? Here is a straight‑to‑the‑point reference with real numbers. You’ll find per‑traveler totals by trip length (3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21, 30 days), side‑by‑side plan prices, the senior surcharge math (+50% for 75+), and example costs for a couple and a family of four. All prices below are in USD and are calculated from Baraglo’s 2026 daily rates.

## Plans & Pricing

| Plan | Medical Coverage | Price from | |------|------------------|------------| | Basic | USD 20,000 | $3.19/day | | Standard | USD 35,000 | $4.99/day | | Essential Plus | USD 50,000 | $5.29/day | | Premium | USD 100,000 | $8.99/day |

> Travelers 75+ pay a 50% senior surcharge. All plans include 24/7 multilingual assistance, COVID‑19 coverage, baggage protection and trip cancellation.

## How to read the numbers

- Prices are “per traveler.” To get your total, multiply the per‑traveler total by the number of travelers and add the 50% surcharge for anyone aged 75+.
- Prices scale linearly with trip length. For example, 7 days on Basic is 7 × $3.19 = $22.33 per traveler.
- Destination within the DR (Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, Puerto Plata, Samaná, La Romana, etc.) does not change the price—your plan tier and trip length do.
- Children pay the same per‑day rate as adults; there is no separate child tier.

## Couple and family pricing examples

All examples assume travelers are under 75 unless noted. Apply the 50% senior surcharge to any traveler aged 75+.

- Couple, 7 days, Standard
  - Per traveler: $34.93
  - Total for 2: $34.93 × 2 = $69.86

- Family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids), 5 days, Basic
  - Per traveler: $15.95
  - Total for 4: $15.95 × 4 = $63.80

- Couple, 14 days, Essential Plus
  - Per traveler: $74.06
  - Total for 2: $74.06 × 2 = $148.12

- Family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids), 10 days, Premium
  - Per traveler: $89.90
  - Total for 4: $89.90 × 4 = $359.60

- Mixed ages (one senior 76), Couple, 21 days, Standard
  - Non‑senior: $104.79
  - Senior (×1.5): $104.79 × 1.5 = $157.19
  - Total for 2: $104.79 + $157.19 = $261.98

- Group of 6 friends, 5 days, Standard
  - Per traveler: $24.95
  - Total for 6: $24.95 × 6 = $149.70

- Multigenerational, 7 days, Essential Plus (2 adults, 2 kids, 1 grandparent 78)
  - Adults/kids: $37.03 × 4 = $148.12
  - Senior: $37.03 × 1.5 = $55.55
  - Total for 5: $203.67

Tip: If you’re comparing tiers, multiply the per‑traveler totals by your party size first, then add any senior surcharge. That keeps your math clean and avoids rounding discrepancies.

## Seniors 75+: how the +50% surcharge works

For any traveler aged 75 or older on the trip start date, add 50% to the per‑traveler total:

- 3 days, Standard (senior): $14.97 × 1.5 = $22.46
- 7 days, Basic (senior): $22.33 × 1.5 = $33.50
- 14 days, Premium (senior): $125.86 × 1.5 = $188.79
- 30 days, Premium (senior): $269.70 × 1.5 = $404.55

Rounding is to the nearest cent at checkout.

## What drives your price up or down

- Trip length: The price scales 1:1 with days. Double the days, double the price.
- Plan tier (coverage amount): Moving up a tier adds a predictable daily cost.
  - Standard vs Basic: $4.99 vs $3.19 is +$1.80/day (+56.4%).
  - Essential Plus vs Basic: $5.29 vs $3.19 is +$2.10/day (+65.8%).
  - Premium vs Basic: $8.99 vs $3.19 is +$5.80/day (+181.8%).
- Age: Each traveler 75+ adds exactly +50% to their individual total.
- Group size: Pricing is per traveler. Multiply per‑person totals by the number of travelers.
- Destination inside the DR: No price difference—Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, and other regions cost the same for the same plan and length.

## Sample budgets for popular itineraries

  - Basic: 6 × $3.19 = $19.14

## When to buy and how to count trip days

- When to buy: Purchase as soon as you book flights or hotels so trip cancellation protection can apply from day one.
- Counting days: Count every calendar day you’re outside your home country, including departure and return days. If you fly out on the 1st and land back on the 10th, that’s 10 days.
- Same‑day extension: If your trip gets extended last minute (delayed flight, missed connection), contact assistance before your policy ends—extensions are usually approved within hours.

## Cost vs. risk: what you’re really buying

Daily premiums look small until you compare them to the bills they prevent:

- A single ER visit in a private DR hospital: $300–$1,000
- One inpatient night in a private hospital: $1,000–$3,000
- Appendectomy or laparoscopic surgery: $5,000–$10,000
- Air ambulance to Miami: $15,000–$25,000
- Lost luggage replacement (clothes + toiletries): $300–$800
- Missed connection requiring a paid hotel night: $120–$400

The $35–$60 a typical traveler spends on a week of Standard coverage is, in the worst case, the difference between a manageable claim and a financial emergency.

## How a 7‑day couple compares across all plans

Snapshot for two travelers, 7 days, no seniors:

- Basic: $44.66 → coverage USD 20,000 each
- Standard: $69.86 → coverage USD 35,000 each
- Essential Plus: $74.06 → coverage USD 50,000 each
- Premium: $125.86 → coverage USD 100,000 each

The jump from Standard to Essential Plus is just $4.20 for the trip and adds USD 15,000 in medical coverage per person—often the best value upgrade.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Are these prices per person or per policy?

Prices shown are per traveler. To find your total, multiply the per‑traveler total by the number of travelers, then add a 50% surcharge for any traveler aged 75 or older.

### Does it cost more in Punta Cana than elsewhere in the DR?
No. Prices are the same across the Dominican Republic. Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, Puerto Plata, Samaná, and La Romana all use the same per‑day rates for a given plan and trip length.

### How do I calculate the senior surcharge for a mixed‑age group?
Calculate each traveler’s total separately. Example: 10 days, Standard is $49.90 per traveler. A 74‑year‑old pays $49.90; a 76‑year‑old pays $49.90 × 1.5 = $74.85. Add them together for the group total.

### Do children pay the same rate as adults?
Yes. Pricing is per traveler per day at the plan’s published rate. Apply the 50% surcharge only if a traveler is 75+.

### Is travel insurance required to enter the Dominican Republic?
It is not currently mandatory for most visitors, but it is strongly recommended. Rules can change, so verify entry requirements before you travel.

### Can I cancel and get a refund if my trip changes?
Yes—if you cancel before your coverage start date and have not filed a claim, you can request a full refund. After the start date, refunds are prorated according to the policy terms.

### Do prices include taxes?
Yes. The per‑day rates shown are the final prices you’ll see at checkout. There are no hidden booking fees.

### Can I add coverage after I’ve already started my trip?
Standard policies must be purchased before departure to include trip‑cancellation benefits. If you’re already abroad, contact assistance to ask about “in‑destination” options—available for medical‑only coverage in some cases.

### Is COVID‑19 included?
Yes. All plans include COVID‑19 medical care under the standard medical coverage limit, plus quarantine accommodation up to a sub‑limit specified in your policy.

### Are adventure activities like ATV, scuba, or kitesurf covered?
Casual recreational activities are generally covered. For organized scuba below 30 m, ATV tours, and other higher‑risk sports, choose Essential Plus or Premium and confirm activity coverage at checkout.

## Why travelers choose these tiers

- Basic ($3.19/day): Short trips, tight budgets, or travelers who mainly want emergency medical coverage and essential protections.
- Standard ($4.99/day): Good value upgrade with a notable bump in medical coverage at +$1.80/day vs Basic.
- Essential Plus ($5.29/day): A small step up from Standard (+$0.30/day) for higher medical coverage ceiling.
- Premium ($8.99/day): Long stays, remote areas, or travelers who want the highest limits and broader buffers.

## Final checklist before you buy

- Match the plan to your risk tolerance and medical coverage comfort level.
- Confirm your exact travel dates and count all calendar days abroad.
- Add up travelers, apply any 75+ surcharges, and compare your totals across tiers.
- Double‑check what’s included: all plans include 24/7 assistance, COVID‑19 coverage, baggage protection, and trip cancellation.
- Save your policy PDF to your phone and email it to a travel companion or family member.
