American cruise coverage

If your trip includes any travel by cruise ship, then select cruise travel insurance to be covered for the land, air, AND CRUISE part of your journey. By cruise we refer to any travel on sea, ocean, or river by any commercially operated ship, boat, or other sea vessel for longer than two hours.

You will need to select the appropriate geographical travel plan designated for your travel destination, which incorporates all the countries you are travelling to. For cruises taking part in America, you would select the geographical travel plan labelled ‘Worldwide including North and South America and Antarctica’.

Annual Multi-Trip travel insurance for America

With fifty states in the U.S. to explore, one visit to America may not be enough. If you plan on more than one trip within the year, or are planning on another international getaway, you may wish to look into an InsureandGo Annual Multi-Trip Insurance policy for your America holiday insurance. Just 2 or 3 times of travel a year may be enough to consider this type of policy.

An annual policy may cost you only slightly more than a single trip policy depending upon your selected destination.

Natural Disaster coverage for America

America is prone to several types of natural disasters with the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events projected to grow. Natural disasters which can occur in America include powerful hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, forest fires, landslides, and earthquakes. Thankfully InsureandGo offers an option to take out Travel Insurance for Natural Disasters to protect you in the event an unforeseen disaster should occur.

To make a claim due to a natural disaster, you must have purchased this policy upgrade option and the option must be shown on your policy. Please note that there is no coverage for costs incurred as a result of a natural disaster event that is known prior to purchasing or upgrading the policy. If there is a known natural disaster event, it will be mentioned prior to payment on our website and over the phone by our agents.

Note that medical cover due to any natural disaster is automatically included in all international policies without purchasing the Natural Disasters add-on.

Choose our Silver or Gold level of cover and you will be protected for cancelling your trip before departure or cutting your trip short. All levels of cover will include coverage for additional emergency expenses. These are expenses you incur after departure that are over and above what you had originally budgeted to pay, if your trip is disrupted, or you are required to return to your home in Australia because of a natural disaster. These expenses can include things such as accommodation, meals, or travelling costs.

Winter Sports coverage for America

America is a popular destination for winter sports, with numerous notable ski resorts such as Lake Tahoe, Aspen, Breckenridge, and Vail.

Winter in America starts December 21, and goes until March 20. Many ski resorts open as early as late October, and start measuring snowfall from November 1.The best destinations to visit in America for winter sports include Glacier National Park in Montana, the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, and resorts throughout Utah. Classic winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, and snow mobiling are popular in these regions, though those who head further north to destinations like Alaska might also partake in activities like dog sledding and ice fishing.

Benefits of winter sports coverage:

Quick guide for America holidays

Visas for America:

Australians travelling to the United States are eligible for the Visa Waiver Program, which allows travellers to visit for up to 90 days without obtaining a visa. You must apply for travel authorization before you leave via ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authoritzation). We recommend organizing this travel authorization well in advance of your trip. If your ESTA application is denied you will be required to apply for a B-1 visitor visa or a B-2 tourist visa.

Best time to visit America:

America is a year round destination, though the best time to visit will depend on your interests, and which seasons you like. Spring runs from March 1 – May 31, summer runs from June 1 to August 31, autumn runs from September 1 to November 30, and winter runs from December 1 to February 28 / 29. Summer is peak season in the northern states of America, though winter is peak season in southern States like Florida, which offers tropical temperatures while snow storms rage in the north. Travel during spring and autumn offers the perfect shoulder season where you’ll encounter less crowds and cheaper prices. You should avoid travel during national and school holidays.

Health concerns:

There are no real health concerns with travel to the United States, and you are not required to obtain any vaccinations before travelling. However medical treatment in America is notoriously high, and if you find yourself in an accident it’s unlikely you’ll be able to afford medical expenses on your own. For this reason alone, travel insurance to America is worthwhile.

Crime & safety:

America is one of the world’s safest countries, though is often criticised for having one of the world’s highest crime rates (largely due to gun violence). It is very rare that travellers will find themselves caught up in violent crime, most of which is concentrated around the inner urban areas of major cities, unfrequented by tourists. Travellers are discouraged from staying around the Mexican border, as there are high reports of crime and car theft in this area. Police presence at all major tourist landmarks and attractions has seen an increase since 9/11, and travellers should expect to have their bags opened and go through security. You may encounter minor dangers like petty crime, opportunistic theft, or dangerous traffic, so it is essential to stay alert to minimize the risk of these crimes occurring.

**Children (including fostered, or adopted children) travelling with either their parents or grandparents will be provided with travel insurance cover for no additional cost (any pre-existing medical conditions may incur an additional charge). This is provided they are under 18 years of age, named on the Policy Schedule and are financially dependent on either their parents or grandparents.
