Direct Line Home Insurance Plus travel insurance for trip to USA

Hi,

I have the above policy and it includes a travel insurance section. My daughter and I are off to New York for a few days later in the year and I wanted to ask whether the cover the policy provides would be sufficient or some sort of additional cover would be required.

We have no illnesses or other circumstances that would affect cover.

Thanks in advance.

    Looks ok to me, although I'm no insurance expert.
    Cancellation & medical emergency cover looks adequate, these are the main areas that I'd require cover for.

    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    It's the same policy that I use for my family holidays to the US and fits all of the relevant criteria for us.

    Thanks for the feedback and would thus seem fine.

    Murphy, I have followed some of your previous USA trips as they have been areas I have been to or plan to go to, so if good enough for you...

    thats really kind of you to say. & a lot of the ideas to vist those places have come from people on this forum. Maybe a case of 'what goes around, comes around'.

    I'm surrently doing research for this yaers trip to New Mexico, although I'm not sure that watching the box sets of Breaking Bad, back to back is helping very much :D:beer:

    C'est la vie. Back home on the 27th!

    We were only going there to say we'd set foot in New Mexico. It doesn't look too exciting. Provably a ten minute stop before Monument Valley as the sun goes down.

    I found New Mexico to be the most interesting of the 30 or so States that I visited. You can't beat the combination of Santa Fe and Los Alamos for history (from Spanish rule to the atomic bomb); Taos with its living native American city; not to mention the beauty of the sunset over the Sange de Christos mountains.

    Thanks for that.

    I was referring to Four Corners rather than New Mexico itself when saying it doesn't look too exciting!

    Have you phoned the company involved and asked them? Surely the best option, they will know after all...............
