Is travel insurance mandatory in the U.S.?
Travel insurance is not mandatory for travel to the United States. However, we strongly recommend that all travelers take out travel insurance.
Why should you take out travel insurance for the USA?
There are several reasons why it's a good idea to take out USA travel insurance:
- Medical coverage: The U.S. healthcare system is one of the most expensive in the world, and medical expenses can quickly reach astronomical sums. If you fall ill or are injured during your stay, travel insurance can help cover the high cost of medical care.
- Trip cancellation: If you have to cancel your trip due to an emergency or illness, travel insurance can help you recover lost travel expenses.
- Lost luggage: If your luggage is lost or delayed during your trip, travel insurance can help you obtain compensation for the financial losses you incur.
- Emergency assistance: If you need emergency assistance for situations such as medical repatriation, travel insurance can provide you with 24-hour emergency services.
