Jacob0525 Posted August 8, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Can someone recommend a travel insurance company that will cover most of the trip cost in case I have to work? I will graduate from school on January 20th, 2011 and we plan on going on a 5 night cruise on January 22nd. My concern is that I may be offered a job when I get out of school. If this happens, hopefully they can wait a week. But this question is for "just in case".... Thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirwired Posted August 8, 2010 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2010 For most entry-level post-college jobs, they will let you set your start date anywhere within a reasonable range, so I wouldn't worry too much. If you are still concerned, you need a cancel-for-any-reason policy. However, you will be unable to purchase one if you put your deposit down more than two weeks ago. Many policies have "work-reason" riders, but they require an officer of the company to certify that they must have you working. Given that you haven't even started yet, that is unlikely.

Cuizer2 Posted August 8, 2010 #3 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Sounds like you need cancel for any reason insurance. Usually there is a 25% deductible. I don't think, "I have to work" is a covered reason for the other policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted August 8, 2010 #4 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I would go to http://www.insuremytrip. com which is a good search engine to use to find travel insurance to see what you can find. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted August 8, 2010 #5 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Along with what everyone elso has contributed, there's not a reasonable employeer out there who wouldn't allow you to delay your "Start" date by a week. If they got huffy about something like this, you would probably be better served by not going to work for them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
