What kind of travel insurance should you choose for a trip to the USA?

Whether you go to North America for a holiday or to study, travel insurance is essential. Indeed, medical expenses in the USA and Canada are nothing like what you know in France. A day in hospital can cost you $10,000. It’s a risk not to be taken lightly and you must absolutely choose the best cover.

Chapka, specialist in travel insurance for more than twelve years offers you a tailor made cover to suits all your needs. Most of our policies include a cover specific to the USA and Canada.

For this destination, we have implemented a medical expenses cover in the amount of €500,000 minimum. That may seem like a lot, but as an expert on the matter, we greatly recommend a €500,000 minimum cover for medical expenses for your trips to North America.

The ESTA, an essential document for travelling to the United States
