The calculator counts every calendar day from the selected start date through the selected end date. Age is calculated at departure, and the relevant published age band is then applied.
Published base rates used by the calculator
| Provider | Through age 64 | 65+ / 65–74 | Minimum / fee |
| DR-WALTER | €1.10/day | €6.50/day | €20.00 minimum + €9.40 fee |
| HanseMerkur | €1.20/day | €2.50/day (65–74) | €10.00 minimum |
Turning 65 changes the published premium band for both visitor plans. HanseMerkur’s public documents contain conflicting wording around age 75, so the calculator does not invent a price and instead asks the traveller to confirm eligibility with the insurer.
