How to Prepare for a Trip to the USA

Being prepared before you travel to the USA can help you manage unexpected events more easily. These actionable tips can help you prepare for your holiday to the USA.

Check Travel Requirements

Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond the period of your intended stay. Australians travelling to the US visa-free for up to 90 days for tourism or business under the Visa Waiver Program must have a valid ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation).

Research US Destinations

The USA is a vast country with a variety of destinations to suit every traveller. From iconic landmarks such as the Hollywood sign, to the Chicago bean and hidden gems like Joshua Tree, research the places you want to visit to get the most out of your trip.

Plan Your Activities

From hiking in national parks like Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon, or exploring vibrant cityscapes like Los Angeles or San Francisco, the USA offers unique experiences for everyone. Check if your planned activities are covered under your travel insurance policy.

Pack Smart

The USA’s weather varies by season and some states experience severe weather including heat waves during Summer and snowstorms during Winter. Expect humid Summers in Florida and chilly Winters in New York. Pack lightweight clothing for Summer, warm layers for colder areas, and comfortable walking shoes for exploration.

Organise Travel Insurance

Travel insurance for the USA can provide cover for unexpected events like overseas medical emergencies, trip cancellation, or lost luggage. Fast Cover offers a wide range of policies for Australian travellers that can be customised depending on the travellers' individual needs, so you can make the most of your trip to the USA.

Travel Documents

Organise your travel documents before you depart for your trip. Keep copies of your itinerary, flight tickets, passport, visas, accommodation details, tour and activity tickets, and any pre-arranged transport tickets. Don't forget your travel insurance policy and emergency assistance contact information.

Safety Advice for Travelling in the USA

Travelling through the USA can be an exciting adventure, particularly for first-time visitors or younger Aussie travellers. Staying alert and following safety precautions can help ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip. Use our USA travel guide to stay informed of general risks and safety tips.

Crime and Travel Scams in the USA

While tourists are generally safe, you may fall victim to petty crime and travel scams in busy tourist areas. Familiarising yourself with local tourist scams and staying cautious ensures a safer and smoother experience when travelling to the USA from Australia.

Pickpocketing
Pickpocketing

Crowded attractions, public transport, and busy marketplaces are hotspots for pickpockets. Keep your belongings secure by using anti-theft bags and avoiding carrying valuables in easily accessible pockets

Inflated Taxi Prices
Inflated Taxi Prices

Some drivers may overcharge tourists, especially when travelling from airports or popular destinations. To avoid this, research standard rates, use rideshare apps or request your hotel to arrange transportation.

Gun Violence
Gun Violence

Gun laws in the USA differ from Australia, and while incidents involving tourists are rare, stay aware of your surroundings, especially in areas with heightened safety concerns.

Kidnapping
Kidnapping

This remains an uncommon risk but can occur, particularly in isolated areas. Stick to well-lit, populated areas and use trusted transportation options.

Cyber Security
Cyber Security

Free public Wi-Fi networks are common but can put you at risk of cyberattacks. Use a VPN or avoid accessing sensitive accounts and personal information on unsecured networks

Civil Unrest and Terrorism in the USA

While the USA is a popular travel destination for Australians, civil unrest and terrorism can occasionally pose risks. Protests, while often peaceful, may become unpredictable, particularly in major cities or during political events. When travelling, avoid large gatherings, monitor local news updates and travel alerts from Fast Cover to stay up to date and make changes to your trip if needed. Terrorism threats, while rare, may target high-profile locations like major cities or landmarks. Airports and tourist spots may experience heightened security, while public events could face cancellations. Transportation disruptions, such as delays in train or subway schedules, and restricted access to popular attractions are also possible. 

If you find yourself in an emergency situation, follow instructions from local authorities. For assistance, contact the consular services of the Australian Government. Keeping informed of risks and avoiding unnecessary exposure to uncertain situations can help ensure a safe and enjoyable trip.

Safety for Sports and Adventure Activities

From hiking in the Rocky Mountains, surfing in California, and skiing in Colorado, the USA offers thrilling activities for adventurers. Ensure you have the necessary skills, use appropriate safety equipment, and follow all safety guidelines. Engaging professional guides or instructors is crucial for certain activities, especially those involving technical skills or higher risks. Consider taking out travel insurance to provide cover for your chosen activities in the USA.

Climate and Natural Disasters in the USA

The USA's sheer size and diverse geography result in a variety of weather conditions and natural disasters, each affecting different regions distinctly. Researching your destinations and understanding the potential natural disasters will help you prepare for your trip to the USA. Remember, Fast Cover's travel alerts can also provide updates during severe weather events.

Hurricanes

Hurricanes primarily affect the Gulf Coast and East Coast, with states like Florida, Texas, and Louisiana most commonly impacted during hurricane season (June to November). These powerful storms can bring heavy rains, strong winds, and flooding. To prepare: 

  • Monitor weather updates and evacuation notices. 
  • Avoid coastal areas during active hurricane warnings. 
  • Keep emergency supplies like water, snacks, and batteries on hand.
Tornados

Tornadoes frequently occur in the Midwest and South, particularly in "Tornado Alley" (Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska), during spring and summer. Tornadoes can form rapidly, causing extreme wind damage. If you're in a tornado-prone area: 

  • Keep an eye on local weather alerts. 
  • Learn the nearest storm shelters, such as basements or sturdy interior areas. 
  • Avoid windows and unsecured structures during a tornado warning. 
Bushfires

Bushfires, also known as wildfires, are common in dry regions like California and the Pacific Northwest, especially in the summer and fall. These fires can spread fast and lead to smoky conditions and roadblocks. To stay safe: 

  • Check for fire warnings and air quality updates. 
  • Consider modifying outdoor plans during high-risk times. 
  • Comply with local fire bans and evacuation orders if in an affected area. 
Winter Storms

Severe snowstorms and icy weather affect the Northeast, Midwest, and mountainous regions such as Colorado during winter months. These storms can cause travel delays and hazardous conditions. To prepare: 

  • Stay updated on severe weather warnings. 
  • Wear warm, water-resistant clothing and footwear. 
  • Ensure vehicles have snow tires or chains and pack an emergency kit when driving in snow-prone areas.

Health Advice for Travelling to the USA

Here's what you need to know about health risks, healthcare, and medication when travelling in the USA.

Different locations in the USA may pose unique health risks so it’s recommended to research specific destinations for your upcoming trip. However, there are some common health risks to be aware of before you travel to the USA:

Tap Water
Tap Water

Tap water in the USA is generally safe to drink. However, in remote areas or wilderness locations, it's advisable to purify water from natural sources before consumption.

Pollution

Air quality can vary significantly between cities, with some urban areas experiencing higher pollution levels. Check air quality indices if you have respiratory conditions, particularly in cities like Los Angeles or New York.

Disease Outbreaks

Seasonal flu is common during winter months. Consider getting a flu vaccination before travelling, especially if visiting during peak flu season.

Allergies
Allergies

The USA has diverse flora, and certain regions may trigger seasonal allergies. If you're prone to allergies, pack appropriate medications and check pollen forecasts for your destinations.

Healthcare in the USA

The USA has a predominantly private healthcare system, and medical costs can be extremely high for visitors without insurance. Emergency room visits, specialist consultations, and hospital stays can result in substantial bills. Most healthcare facilities require payment upfront or proof of insurance coverage. Emergency medical and hospital expenses can become costly for travellers.

When travelling to the USA from Australia with medication, be aware that some medications may require special permits or customs clearance to bring them into the USA. Follow these steps to prepare for travelling to the USA with medication and avoid potential issues at customs: 

Check The USA's Medication Regulations

Visit the US Customs and Border Protection website or the Food and Drug Administration to verify if your medications are legal and check quantity restrictions. Some prescription drugs legal in Australia may be controlled substances in the USA.

Obtain a Permit for Restricted Medications

For controlled substances or certain prescription medications, you may need special documentation or permits. Consult with the Drug Enforcement Administration for controlled substances or FDA for other medications.

Travel Limits

Generally, you can bring a 90-day supply of prescription medication for personal use. Larger quantities may require additional documentation or permits from the appropriate US authorities.

US Laws and Customs for Travellers

Understanding laws and customs in the USA will help you avoid misunderstandings with locals and local authorities. Keep in mind that travel insurers generally don't cover you when your claim arises from breaking the law, so it's best to familiarise yourself with US laws before your trip.

Australian visitors need a passport that's valid for the duration of their stay. Make sure to renew your passport in advance to avoid travel disruptions and learn how to keep your passport safe while travelling in the USA.

Seasonal and Regional Packing

Pack according to the USA's diverse climate and tailor your clothing to the weather and activities you will be participating in.

These small measures can reduce the risk of potential loss or theft.

Summer

Pack lightweight, breathable clothing, layers, and comfortable shoes for walking. Don't forget  a strong sunscreen.

Winter

Opt for warm layers, including thermal innerwear, scarves, gloves and hats. Waterproof boots and a coat will be handy.

Spring and Fall

Pack versatile layers as temperatures can vary greatly between day and night, especially in regions like the Southwest.

Fast Cover’s luggage and personal effects benefit may provide cover for theft, loss, or damage to your luggage and personal items. If you’re travelling to the USA with high value items, you can declare many of them as specified high-value items to help cover them for more than what they are currently covered for under the standard policy terms and conditions.

Whilst the USA is a popular destination for Australian travellers, changing civil, political and climate conditions may change whether the USA is considered a safe destination to travel to. It's important to stay informed about local conditions and follow safety advice from the Australian Government via Smartraveller and any travel alerts issued by your travel insurance provider.
