I just purchased travel insurance from Trawick international. They insure exchange students and have a Costa Rica traveler/ visitor plan that specifically shows the $2,000.00 lodging insurance... Its called the Safe Travel Voyager plan. link provided here:

I bought it today and plan on arriving on either the Nov 1 or 2. I will try to get on after arrival to the hotel to let you know they accepted it or not. I put down the cost of my trip at $250 for 10 days and the price was about $30.00 total. 7 days was less than $5.00 cheaper ... but you can't extend after purchase, so I just got it for 10 days in the event I wanted to extend.
The company is based out of the US the 866 number (866)467-8289 was full of static.... almost like a fax line but the (972) 985-4400 on their contact us page I got a real helpful person. I was apprehensive about giving my information by filling out the form, which asks for your passport number also... its part of what has to get uploaded to the CR website.
Below is an update of my Nov 1 entrance to CR.
Hello and good afternoon! I arrived on flight 2221 American Airlines out of Miami to San Jose today on 1 November. On page 6 I have a report on travel insurance. I purchased the travel insurance two days ago filled out the medical form that you had to fill out where you get a QR code for Costa Rica. I uploaded the declarations page and and at that time they were still asking for a copy of your drivers license to be uploaded also. After that upload and submission I got a QR code right away. I arrived at the airport got in the immigration line and was checked twice one by a roving lady who had her phone checking QR codes, it would turn green on her phone if everything was OK. I did see her however get some people out of line because there was an issue with their paperwork another words the QR code when she scanned it did not turn green on her device. Mine however did and I was allowed to enter the country after showing the immigration person how many days my insurance was good for which was 10 days he put down 11 days on the passport stamp which is usually 90 but they are going by how many days you have insurance. I may post a link to the insurance one more time here because my insurance again I Set the insurance amount to $250 the trip amount to $250 and then for 10 days of coverage or 11 days of coverage from the first to the 11th cost me cost me less than $30....At age 50. Beats the hell out of $12.00/day!
The above were brought over from another thread by me, the original poster, in an effort to give all who look here an affordable option to the required insurance needed.
Happy hunting,
