Travel Guard Platinum
Insurance as you know is something you purchase and hope you will never use. We purchased the AIG Travel Travel Guard Platinum plan because we wanted to make sure we were covered in case of illness, death or some other less minor incident happened. When planning our adventures we always insure our travel investment with travel insurance. It's the smart thing to do!
We learned long ago that "that could never happen to me" statement that we all tend to spout, is not true!

Travel Guard Gold
The AIG Travel Guard Gold plan is the one I always use when I travel overseas. The insurance coverage a person has with any of the national companies does not work overseas, so travelers need to be aware of that. If anything occurs medically, and you need to be hospitalized or evacuated, AIG Travel Guard Gold Plan takes care of you and covers the cost. Hopefully, nothing will happen, but accidents do occur. With AIG Travel Guard Gold Plan I feel I am prepared so I can enjoy my time away!

Travel Guard MedEvac Plan
When traveling abroad, it is essential to have insurance for medical expenses or medical evacuation, which are not covered by Medicare and most health insurance. On a trip to Turkey, a woman in our group had appendicitis. She did not have travel insurance. She had only Medicare and a secondary health insurance plan, neither of which covered any expenses outside the U.S. She could not afford to pay for an air ambulance to have surgery back in the U.S. So she had surgery in Istanbul. Her adult daughter stayed with her, and paid out of pocket hotel room and restaurant meals while her mother was in the hospital. They had to pay up front for her medical care and hospitalization. Presumably they had to pay a high airfare home when she was well enough to travel. I always buy travel insurance. My credit card (co-branded with an airline's frequent flyer program) covers trip cancellation and interruption when I charge flights, hotels, cruises, etc. to that card (even if it's a different airline). However, that credit card does not cover medical treatments, hospitalization, or evacuation to the U.S. in case of illness or accident. This AIG Travel Guard MedEvac Plan is very reasonably priced and covers that gap including expenses for a traveling companion. Thankfully my companion and I have not needed medical treatment while traveling, but having this coverage gives us peace of mind.

The staff at Travel Guard were pleasant to talk to. There was no long holding times on the phone. They processed my claim pretty quickly. I was very pleased with the service.
Thanks.

While we're blessed not to need to file a claim, it was very reassuring to know that had something occurred, we were covered for all possibilities. A fellow traveler fell and broke her hip, needed immediate surgery in France, and her travel insurance made sure she got all necessary treatment. That's what it's all about and I appreciate InsureMyTrip's website so we can choose the correct coverage.

I feel that trip insurance in necessary. I don’t like it. I think it costs too much, BUT I have fortunately not had to make a claim. Having it gives me peace of mind.

This is an update of a previous review. My claim has been approved and should be paid within 10 days. I think the process could have been simpler. I had a previous claim several years ago that was handled much more expeditiously. I will not use AIG again.

We are over seventy and were in Europe for over three months. We paid $4,500 for your insurance. Nothing happened. We rented a car but you did not cover that because we had insurance from my credit card (which paid us for a charge). So your insurance was useless to us. We have discovered that we don't need the medical coverage you provide and almost everything else you cover is incidental and rare.
