Travel Insurance for the USA

Be inspired and explore America with Allianz Travel Insurance

Travelling to America

Travelling to the USA is really exciting – it’s a huge country with an enormous array of attractions, natural landscapes, cultures, climates and fascinating people. From the skyscrapers of New York City to the wilderness of Utah, the beaches of California to the many theme parks of Florida, there is so much to see and do!

When you’re planning your trip to the USA, think of how you want to get around. Will it be the fun and freedom of a road trip or will you be a jet-setter, going from one thrilling city to another? When considering travel insurance, keep your transportation methods and the weather in mind. You don’t want to be out of pocket for flights delayed by snowstorms or a costly excess on a rental vehicle.

Health and safety when travelling in the USA

Some key things to consider to stay safe and healthy on your travels.

Keeping safe

Stay vigilant for pick-pocketing and other forms of theft. Never leave your belongings unattended. Refer to Smartraveller for current travel alerts affecting the USA before you buy a policy, before you leave Australia, and during your travels.

Keeping healthy

The USA is known for its high health care costs and if you get sick or injured, it can be extremely expensive to visit a doctor, dentist or hospital. An injury such as a broken bone could cost a lot of money to treat. This is where travel insurance for the USA might come in handy.

Being prepared for adventures

Road-tripping in the USA

Renting a car can be a great way to travel around the USA, but it can leave you with large out-of-pocket expenses if something goes wrong.

If your rental vehicle is involved in an accident while it’s being driven by you and you’re the nominated driver, or it’s damaged or stolen while in your custody, we’ll pay you the lesser of (up to your benefit limit)2:

  • the amount specified that you’re liable to pay under the rental vehicle agreement, or
  • the property damage for which you’re liable.

If you’re diagnosed by the treating medical adviser as unfit to return your rental vehicle to the nearest depot, we’ll pay the cost of returning the vehicle (up to the applicable benefit limit).

Note: This cover only applies if:

  • you hire a rental vehicle from a rental company or agency;
  • you’re a nominated driver on the rental vehicle agreement; and
  • the rental vehicle agreement specifies a maximum amount that you must pay if the rental vehicle is damaged or stolen. 

Optional snow, cruise and adventure packs

The possibilities are endless in the USA. You can ski, surf, hike, scuba dive, skateboard, cruise, kayak, camp, stay on a ranch, or gaze across a canyon. If you’re an adventurer, a keen skier or you live for cruising, consider buying an optional Snow Pack, Cruise Pack or Adventure Pack for an additional premium when buying an Allianz Comprehensive Travel Insurance policy.2

Refer to the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for more information.
