Travel Insurance to the USA

Travel insurance to the USA is absolutely vital! Not taking out travel insurance could expose you to serious financial risk. We wouldn't want that to happen to you. Taking out our travel insurance ensures that you'll be protected against things like:

• Cancellation - if you're ill or have an accident before you set off, you'll be able to claim for things like travel (remember how much you spent on your air fare!) and accommodation costs.
• Missed departure - hopefully you won't get caught in a traffic jam to the airport!
• Travel delays - even the best airlines can make you queue if there's been a problem.
• Medical expenses - medical bills in the USA can easily run into thousands of pounds.
• Repatriation to the UK - if you are unlucky enough to be injured or be ill and need to get back to the UK. This includes getting you back by air ambulance and, if necessary, accompanied by a nurse or doctore (this really would run into many of thousands of pounds!)
• Loss of baggage and personal items.
• Loss of passport.
• Public Liability - if you injure someone and they sue you (remember how litigious a country the USA is!).

We have different levels of cover (click on the booking link at the bottom of the page and either click on the link to see the policy summary or get a quote and they'll be shown to you).

You can choose to add cover for additional eventialities such as natural disasters, skiing, more dangerous sports or activities.

Our travel insurance can cover you for just one trip to the USA. However, if you're travelling more than once a year, it could work out more economical if you buy an annual, multi-trip policy. You can then take as many trips as you like in a year!

Do you have any medical conditions?

If you have any kind of pre-existing medical condition, it's really important that it's declared and accepted for cover by us. Why? Because if you make a claim that's directly or indirectly related to an undisclosed, pre-existing medical condition, your claim is likely to be declined.

What's regarded as a pre-existing medical condition?

Even things like asthma and well controlled blood pressure or cholesterol would fall into this definition. As we've said, medical treatment is notirously costly in America, so it's really worth going through our medical screening process and having medical conditions included in your travel insurance with us.

If you have medication and it's lost, our travel insurance will even cover you for up to £300 to obtain replacement medication. After all, we realise just how important it is that you have your medication!
