Trip insurance for US citizens traveling within the United States

Many of us have limited medical insurance which includes high deductibles and coinsurance rates. This is particularly true when we travel even if within the US but outside our home state. It is therefore important to buy trip insurance even when traveling within the US. At American Visitor Insurance, we also offer trip insurance for US citizens traveling within the United States.

These short-term trip insurance plans can be bought for trips up to 30 days and will cover the travelers while they are away from home on a designated trip. Travelers can insure the cost of our trip, which includes the cost of a airline ticket, a cruise, hotels, or any other non-reimbursable costs of a trip, or we can keep this coverage to a minimum ($50 to $100 per person) and get coverage mainly for the medical benefits while on the trip.

These trip insurance plans are designed for travelers with coverage for trip interruption, taking care of children, pets, and travel companions while traveling. They can provide peace of mind while traveling within the country or even to a different country! You can use our TRIP QUOTE COMPARE ENGINE to compare trip insurance plans.
