IRMO12HD Posted January 24 #1 Share Posted January 24 I am paying for my son and DIL's cruise to Alaska this fall. If I purchase a travel insurance policy for them, or if they purchase it, will they be able to claim reimbursement if the trip is cancelled due to medical, etc? That's what I want them to be able to do, but am not sure how it works if I pay for the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsureMyTrip Posted January 25 #2 Share Posted January 25 Yes! Unlike other types of insurance, you can purchase a travel insurance plan for someone else. All you need to purchase a policy for someone else is basic information about the travelers - like their age, gender, home address, and birthdates. When you purchase a policy for someone else, you will need to ensure the traveler is the person listed on the policy. If they need to make a claim, they will need to provide proof of your payment for their prepaid, non-refundable trip costs. It will then be the traveler who is reimbursed for the claim, not the purchaser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
