Information on Vermont with single trip travel insurance from Essential Travel

Vermont is characterised by rolling hills dotted with cows, sugar maples, and storybook towns nestled along river valleys. The state is mostly rural and home to plenty of dairy farms, dirt roads and small-scale enterprises. Here, you can get the feel of America as it once was, with the locals sharing a sense of community. Vermont is the place to enjoy long country drives, mountain rambles, and overnights at country inns.

Getting There

Visitors can fly to Burlington, or nearby Manchester (New Hampshire) or Bangor (Maine). Several smaller airports in the region include Rutland (Vermont), Rockport and Trenton (Maine). Alternatively, it may be cheaper to fly to Bostons Logan Airport and complete the journey by hire car or bus.

By rail, Amtraks Vermonter departs from Washington, DC; stops in Vermont include Brattleboro, Bellows Falls, White River Junction, Randolph, Montpelier, Waterbury, Burlington/Essex Junction and St Albans. Two major bus lines serve northern New England: Vermont Transit Lines and Concord Trailways.

Travelling through Vermont by road can be quite rewarding, with charming little towns and lovely scenery all the way. I-91 heads north from Hartford (Connecticut) through Massachusetts and along the Vermont-New Hampshire border. From Boston, take I-95 north for Maine, or take I-93 for New Hampshire. In Concord, New Hampshire, I-89 departs from I-93 northwest towards Burlington.

Safety

While Vermont is not exactly a dangerous state, outdoor recreation and driving across long distances can place holidaymakers at risk of injuries. Additionally, visiting other countries can become hectic and may result in missed travel arrangements. We recommend you take out travel insurance before heading to Vermont.

Wether in Vermont

Like all New England states, Vermont enjoys four distinct seasons. Summers aremild and pleasant while the winters are cold and snowy. The average rainfall is 40 inches a year with much higher amounts falling in the mountains.
