EasternWiseguy Posted July 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2023 We are travelling to NYC en route to our home in Ohio. We are trying to arrange travel insurance ( both seniors) for the one way trip. Does anyone know, or have any tips for a suitable insurer. I have tried Cunard but they want me to take a yearly policy for circa £1200 each. That is not suitable. Any ideas? Thank you all in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check with Alianz Travel insurance for the trip. - they would probably come in somewhere between $600 and $900 for the two of you - cancellation, medical, evacuation, etc. covered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One way has nothing to do with it. Any third party insurer would work. I have my travel agent get quotes from 3 or 4 companies and pick the lowest price for the coverage I want.

Flatbush Flyer Posted July 8, 2023 #4 Share Posted July 8, 2023 No one can recommend an insurer without knowing your circumstances. Check with a reputable broker who specializes in travel insurance. We use InsureMyTrip.com (as do many cruisers). Give them a call. There’s no charge to you. For a good comprehensive policy, expect to pay about 10% of your trip cost as seniors 65+\-. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO I would have to disagree. I have contacted multiple insurers and so far have only found one that will ensure one-way trips. Most require you to return to the country you started in. Eveb the broker I contacted could not find any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternWiseguy Posted July 9, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Well after a day scraping the internet I managed to find an insurer for my one way trip. The company is based on the UK and is happy to insure European citizens. Whether they extend that facility to US citizens, I do not know. Calm seas everyone.

I'm talking about a one way cruise starting in the UK, ending in New Zealand and then staying in New Zealand. So a one way holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately I found a decent company...not sure if I can post the details. Perhaps a moderator will advise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only the names of *travel agents* that cannot be posted. Names/contacts for insurance, excursions, supply information, etc., are fine to be shared.
