Travel Insurance questions

[efrank]

So, we're traveling Aug 2-10th and thought we'd better buy trip insurance. I'm not sure though what we should put down as the price of the trip. Do we put down what we are out if we cancel any time up until the day of travel, or the full amount. For instance, we only had to pay 1k down on the villa and pay the balance upon arrival (the other $2200). Same with the car, we'd only be out the $100 deposit. Or are we supposed to put down the full amount of the trip even though we wouldn't really lose any other money?? I need some help, this is a new topic for me Thank for all of your thoughts on this!!

They're all a little different but what we did for our trip last month is insure the total cost of airfare, the total cost of the villa for STJ, the deposit we had put down for the cottage in VG and then we just added the option for rental car coverage for the entire trip. My TA friend did it through Travel Guard and it ended up being $384. It would have been more cost effective getting it here through CSA. Sorry Anthony! I'll got ya next time though!
