TRAVEL TIPS TO NEW YORK

It is essential that to travel to New York (or any other place in the United States) you contract specific travel insurance. Many mutual and private insurance companies only cover a certain percentage in case of an emergency abroad. Traveling with additional specific travel insurance gives you the guarantee that it covers you 100%; hospitalization, minor cures, operations, transfers between countries, quarantines... Accidents happen, our luggage is stolen or lost, there are flight delays... have everything covered for a little bit!
