AIG Travel Travel Guard Gold
I was surprised how long the trip interruption needed to be for me to qualify for a flight reimbursement and will keep that in mind when buying plans in the future.

    Thank you for your comment. Although there are hour requirements in many plans for covered reasons to cancel or interrupt your trip, the AIG Travel Guard Gold plan is actually one of the more broader plans without the 12, 24 or 48 hour requirements for inclement weather or mechanical breakdown. Perhaps you are actually referencing Travel Delay which does require a delay of at least 5 consecutive hours in order to have a covered reason for travel delay.

    We did email you when we originally received this review hoping for additional information. You may still wish to consider filing a claim. Please contact AIG Travel Guard's claims department should you change your mind about filing a claim.

I thought the plan provided good coverage for what I might need. Fortunately I was well and did not need to use your insurance.

I had medical treatment during our trip. I informed AXA before we got home and received a claim form. I filled it out and sent documentation (not difficult) and within a week I was informed that my claim was approved and I would receive a check within 2 weeks. Great service!

I had to cancel my trip. I ripped up my knee. I just got confirmation from AXA that I would receive a check for the full amount of the cost of the trip. I am looking forward to receiving my check. It was quite timely on their part. I would definitely recommend them and use them for my next trip.

AXA Assistance USA Platinum
Amazingly quick coverage with no hassle. We had to cancel the entire trip due to a medical emergency. Our entire trip was refunded quickly without any back and forth.

TravelSafe Classic
Since it was not necessary to file a claim, I could not tell if the TravelSafe Classic plan was good. Prior experience with InsureMyTrip made me comfortable in knowing that I would be taken care of by TravelSafe in the event a problem occurred. I kept the TravelSafe emergency number with me at all times.
