Do you need a GHIC card to visit the USA?
If you have a GHIC (previously EHIC) card, it will not cover you in America. These cards will only cover you within the countries of the European Union, including Switzerland. This means that if you fall ill, have an injury or lose valuable items during your trip, you will not be covered. Therefore, it’s essential to have appropriate USA Travel Insurance when travelling to America.

When you get a quote for a single trip policy, you need to declare all the countries you’ll be visiting, including Mexico. Simply inform us of your travel destinations, and we’ll provide you with an accurate quote.
