With reference to this article, is anyone aware of any travel insurance policies that provide insurance against denied entry in particular to the USA.

    I can't see that Insurers would provide such cover, as there may be circumstances where the border security of another country refuses to give full reasons for refusing entry. The Insurers are then very unlikely to be able to check reasons for refused entry with the relevant authority.

    Also some policyholders are unlikely to disclose some issues to an Insurers, even if they asked " do you know of any reasons for anyone included on the Insurance to be refused entry by an authority such as border control. If entry is refused, border security refuses to provide details, other than a security issue has been detected, then Insurers face having to pay out, without being able to find out to their satisfaction any possible non disclosure.

    You could phone PJ Hayman who provide many different policy options to see whether they are aware.
    The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.
