Insurance for travel nurses

Moving every 13 weeks makes insurance confusing. Here’s what actually matters — and how to stay covered and save while you’re on the road, assignment to assignment.

🏠 Renters insurance for short‑term housing

Furnished rentals and travel‑nurse housing usually don’t cover yourbelongings — renters insurance does, for about $10–$20/month, and many leases require it. A policy can move with you between assignments, so you’re not buying a new one every 13 weeks.

🚗 Multi‑state auto insurance

Crossing state lines for assignments raises questions about where your car is “garaged” and which state sets your rate. Comparing insurers that handle frequent moves — and bundling with renters — usually saves the most.

Quick tips for nurses on the move

• ✓ Keep one renters policy and update the address each assignment, rather than re‑buying.
• ✓ Tell your auto insurer your home/garaging state — getting it wrong can void claims.
• ✓ Bundle renters + auto for a multi‑policy discount.
• ✓ Re‑shop yearly — rates change, and your assignments do too.
