Travel insurance

Travel insurance

Travel insurance companies do not usually cover trips for longer than 45 days, longer than you will be in the US, so you therefore will not be covered under your usual travel insurance policy. Here are some things you can do to cover yourself in lieu of travel insurance:
  1. Book flights using a credit card for extra protection
  2. Book a flexible flight in case you need to change the dates you previously booked
  3. Become familiar with airline compensation policies in case of delays or cancellations
  4. Look into study abroad insurance policies
