And while it isn't a legal requirement in the USA, it's worth noting that healthcare is expensive. Travel insurance can cover the cost of medical bills. It can also cover lost baggage, travel disruption both before and during your trip. Use our guide to find out what travel insurance you can get for your American adventure."

Medical expenses: Medical care in America isn't cheap. Some hospitals ask tourists to pay a deposit when they're admitted. Your travel insurance can help cover the cost of this.

Repatriation cover: If you need to be flown back to the UK for medical treatment, by air ambulance or emergency flight, your travel insurance can help cover the cost.

Cancellation and curtailment cover: If you have to cut your trip short or it gets cancelled, you should have cover for missed trips and accommodation costs.
-
Travel disruption cover: If your flight gets disrupted by bad weather or mechanical issues, your insurance can help cover the costs.
