Banking, Credit, Car and Health Insurance

Banking / Credit.
Do not, on any account close your UK bank or credit card accounts before coming to the USA. If you do not already have an American credit card, you will find them hard to obtain in the early days, as you will not have built-up an American credit rating. If you contact me I can advise you on a number of options open to you in this area.

Car Insurance
This can be hard to obtain at a reasonable rate in your first year, but you will need it in place before you are able to drive away that all too necessary car. Again, it is worth making contact prior to your move for advice on those elusive insurance policies. For example, the incorrect explanation of the British, automatic penalty point system for speeding, to an American insurance agent can significantly increase premiums.

Healthcare
It is imperative that you have health insurance coverage from the second you enter the USA. If you are being sponsored by your company and have a copy of the policy, fine. If not, you are advised to obtain coverage. Do not depend on your British holiday coverage, as it will not be valid. Eventually you will qualify for American insurance companies, of which I have details. Some will be able to obtain immediate coverage. If not, there are a number of excellent other policies, that I have found clients very satisfied with. Beware of certain policies that do NOT provide coverage in the strict sense, but are actually a medical discount scheme. This is not always evident. In the event of a medical claim running into thousands of dollars, a 10% discount obviously does not cover the other 90% of the bill.
