Im going to Tokyo this summer for 2 months, with a school, and in order to go on trips to Kyoto etc we need International Travel Insurance.

But with my airline (united) I got AIG Travel Guard Trip protection which i paid i think close to $30 for when I bought my plane ticket.

is that the same thing?

or does that count as the travel insurance?

this is what I get.

    The policy seems low for travel insurnace.. For example, TravelEx compensates for up to 150% of your trip cost.. I’ve been using them a long time now, here is a link if you want to get a free quote.

Got something to say?
