Question: Travel Guard Trip Protection same as International Travel Insurance?
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?

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. http://www.travelex-insurance.com/index.asp?location=07-0018
