Travel Insurance - North America
Last Updated: 26th Nov 2012
More Tour and Travel Advice for the USA and Canada
Contiki strongly recommends all clients be adequately covered for Medical Insurance, Cancellation and Curtailment Insurance prior to their tour departure.
Medical and hospital treatment in the USA is very expensive and some establishments may give lower priority or even refuse people who have no proof of insurance. We also recommend that clients take out insurance coverage against loss of money and personal belongings including luggage. This should also include damage to baggage and possessions.
Travel insurance can be obtained when you book through Contiki, through your travel agent or through insurance companies themselves.

Thanks for the useful article here. Despite the fact that I am working in the auto insurance company I still don’t know too much about travel insurance. I plan to visit North America next year so this one will definitely help me. Thanks!

Travel insurance is awesome, last year i was on a europe tour and needed an emergency operation in switzerland to save my life and my insurance, which only cost me $125au, paid for all my hospital bills, totalling more than $7000au, paid for me to fly business class back to australia and returnd the money for the days i missed on the remainder of my trip. so i highly recommend getting insurance

The trolley tour of Boston, offered as an optional, is the best way to see the entire city. Take it at your own pace, but I would suggest stopping off at the USS Constitution and Fenway.
I've found from experience the best and most reliable brand of adaptors for Australian travellers is Korjo. Check out www.korjo.com
Winter is an excellent time to go to Europe. There are next to no lines for the museums, you can experience the cities like the locals do and everything is cheaper! Plus, Christmas and New Year's Eve in Europe are very special.
