Travel insurance for the USA
If you’re taking a trip across the pond, you might be wondering ‘how much travel insurance do I need for the USA?’ When booking a holiday to America, it’s important to consider the cost of medical care stateside.
The USA has some of the best hospitals in the world and is known for its first-class medical care . However, it can also be very expensive. Without travel insurance, you could be at risk of a large financial bill if you fall ill and need urgent medical attention.

Travel insurance for Australia
Heading down under? Travel insurance that covers the cost of flights in case of delays or cancellations is worth considering for trips to Australia.
It can be pricey to fly from the UK to Australia. And if your flight is seriously delayed or cancelled altogether, you’ll want peace of mind that you’ll be compensated for the cost of rebooking. It could end up being very expensive without travel insurance.
When it comes to medical care, there is a mutual healthcare agreement between the UK and Australia. That means British citizens, who are resident in the UK, can get access to necessary medical treatment while travelling in Australia. But this doesn’t cover treatment for pre-existing conditions. It also doesn’t cover treatment for medical conditions which aren’t considered to be emergencies. That’s why it’s important to have travel insurance. With Sainsbury’s Money, you could get cover for a range of pre-existing medical conditions.

Travel insurance for Mexico
Mexico is a popular year-round destination thanks to its long summers, luxury beach resorts and endless coastlines. You might decide to try out some water sports or book a day trip to go sightseeing. With our travel insurance, the cost of any pre-arranged holiday activities could be covered if your trip is cancelled through no fault of your own. You’ll find a full list of activities that are covered in the policy summary.
Petty theft can also be an issue in Mexico. It’s a good idea to have insurance in place that covers loss, theft or damage to your personal belongings. Find out more about our policies, and decide what level of international insurance is best for your holiday to Mexico.

Going backpacking or taking a career break? Whether you’re visiting one far-flung destination or travelling around, extended trip travel insurance will cover you while you’re away. It takes just a few minutes to sort out, leaving you to enjoy your adventures without worrying.
You’ll be covered for trips up to 366 days.
