Most travel companies provide free housing to their employees. However, different companies have different offerings around housing. Some provide one-bedroom apartments or single housing, while others offer shared housing. Single housing means you are going to get a private bedroom within a multi-bedroom apartment or a multi-bedroom hotel suite.

Often a travel nurse can accept a subsidy instead and secure his or her own housing. Most agencies offer this option, which can range from $400 to $1,800 a month, depending on your location.The apartments will usually be furnished if supplied by the travel company. If you are relocated to some other place all travel expenses will be handled by the company and new housing will immediately be provided to you.

Travel companies want to take good care of you while you are in their employment and they see to it that the place you’re living in is comfortable, clean and close enough to your assignment area so that you won’t face difficulties regarding transportation. It is advisable to ask your company about the living arrangements and whether you can bring along a friend or a pet, so that you won’t get into trouble once you arrive. However, many companies offer to take into account your requirements and will choose lodgings that will easily accommodate spouse or young children.
