Premium estimate uses indicative rates (Basic 4%, Standard 6%, Premium 8% of trip cost), adjusted for age, duration and Nigeria's cost-of-living index (35).
Ensure medical evacuation cover is ≥USD 100,000 (≥USD 250,000 for adventure activities).
Read the policy exclusions carefully — they often matter more than the headline coverage limits.

Travel insurance for a Nigeria trip usually prices between 4% and 8% of your total trip cost, depending on tier, duration and traveller age. Nigeria has no insurance requirement at the border, which makes the evacuation line the one clause worth reading before price. Nigeria's low-altitude profile keeps the risk ordinary: the exclusions list, not the altitude, is what to read.

The market splits into three tiers, and this calculator prices each for Nigeria: Basic at roughly 4% of trip cost, Standard at 6%, Premium at 8%. Concretely: one Standard week for a US$2,000 Nigeria trip costs $115.92 at age 35 — the same trip prices $77.28 on Basic and $154.56 on Premium.
Duration scales roughly linearly for Nigeria: double the days, double the premium, which is why a month costs near four times the week. Baggage and delay cover ride along in every tier; the differences that matter for Nigeria are the medical and cancellation ceilings.
Reading a Policy for Nigeria
| Tier | Medical | Cancellation | Baggage | Rate (% of trip cost) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | USD 50,000 | USD 5,000–10,000 | USD 500–1,000 | ~4% |
| Standard | USD 100,000+ | USD 10,000–25,000 | USD 1,500–2,500 | ~6% |
| Premium | USD 250,000+ | USD 25,000+ | USD 3,000+ | ~8% |
Limits are market-standard bands for Nigeria trips; individual insurers cap evacuation at USD 100,000–500,000 by tier.

Medical cover of at least USD 100,000 is the sensible floor for Nigeria; hospital bills in Abuja for serious incidents run into five figures fast. Medical evacuation home from Nigeria can cost USD 50,000–200,000 by air ambulance, which is why the ≥USD 100,000 line is standard advice.
Nigeria riders are also the place to cover rental-sports equipment and cruise-connection misses — cheap add-ons for specific itineraries. Cancellation cover should equal your non-refundable Nigeria costs — flights, first nights, prepaid tours — not the whole hypothetical budget.
Exclusions to Read Before Buying Nigeria Cover
Pre-existing medical conditions are excluded on Nigeria policies unless waived; the waiver must usually be bought within two weeks of the first trip payment. Nigeria claims adjusters deny incident reports involving intoxication without appeal — it is the most-cited exclusion in travel insurance generally. Riders for adventure sports on Nigeria trips typically exclude competition and paid guiding — read the definition, not just the title.
"Known events" — anything already in the news when you booked your Nigeria trip — are excluded by name; buy insurance before the storm has a name. Mental-health treatment, ordinary dental work and pregnancy past 28 weeks sit outside standard Nigeria coverage — read the schedule of benefits line by line.
Getting a Nigeria Policy Right
The right time to insure a Nigeria trip is at booking, not at boarding; cancellation cover only reaches losses incurred after the policy starts. Two Nigeria policies at similar prices can differ by a factor of three on the deductible — read the excess table before choosing.
Before calling assistance in Nigeria, have your policy number, passport and location details ready — the hotline opens the file that authorises payment. Credit cards often include travel medical cover — check whether your card's policy reaches Nigeria before paying for duplicate coverage.
