Head Across the Pond in Confidence
The United Kingdom is made up of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland and is a popular international travel destination for Americans.
Traveling to the United Kingdom
The United Kingdom is also a great starting point for a bigger European vacation.
Many Americans find the UK an easy place to travel. English is spoken widely, modern infrastructure makes it easy to get from place to place, and American visitors don’t need a visa, as long as you stay for less than six months. All you’ll need is your passport, battleface travel insurance, and your best curtsy or bow (in case you meet the Queen, of course).
Over 35 million people visit the UK every year, and many of them are residents of the United States. As a safe and welcoming travel destination, the vast majority of these trips to the UK went off without a hitch, but it’s still important to be prepared.
Travel insurance can help avoid stress and financial loss when the unexpected happens, whether it’s inconveniences like flight delays and lost baggage or something more serious—like an injury sustained while hiking in Scotland or a car crash that happens because you’re not used to driving on the left side of the road.
