If you're headed somewhere very remote or you're boarding a cruise ship, bump those coverage thresholds up to $100,000 and $250,000, respectively, according to Barto. A medical plan for a one-week, $5,000 trip for two travelers ages 55 to 60 could cost just $37 when booked via SquareMouth.com, said Barto.
