If you live outside the United States or in a U.S. territory, we can recommend a policy offered through UnitedHealthcare Global, or you can research trip cancellation coverage independently. We urge you to do so before paying your invoice, as many companies have restrictive timing considerations for purchase as it relates to payment.
