If you are the recipient of gifted travel, you can still insure your trip. First, you need to identify what you’re looking to insure. While you can purchase travel medical insurance alone, it’s often included in comprehensive travel insurance plans. Even if you were not the one to pay for the trip, it may be worth the conversation with the purchaser to find out the value of the trip to protect their gift from being lost. Comprehensive plans will also offer more options for delays, baggage troubles, and cancellation woes. As you shop for the right travel insurance plan, you’ll need to know some details of the trip, like departure and arrival dates. When quoting plans, you’ll be asked for the initial trip payment date, or the date that money was placed towards any aspect of the trip. For your cruise, use the booking date.
