The insurance policy under which coverage is provided is underwritten by insurance company subsidiaries, affiliates, or network partners of American International Group, Inc. This policy does not include pre-trip benefits such as trip cancellation and travel inconvenience benefits such as trip delay and baggage loss/damage. Please refer to country-specific policy wordings for benefit limits that could be converted to local currency. You can arrange additional coverage separately by exploring what travel insurance policies are available to you in your specific market.

Please note that for Mexico and Argentina, payments and services are provided under a service agreement, not an insurance policy.
