No coverage for Covid is a real problem. We could have been trapped for 2 weeks with no coverage.

With ongoing mobility issues, I decided to purchase travel insurance for a trip to Hawaii to meet other family members. My mobility was quite good, after all. The insurance gave me peace of mind.

Not way too expensive, more of a gamble bet. But I was stuck and had to have something. Impossible to evaluate since thankfully we didn't need to use it. What would be nice is a partial refund if no claim. Must be a huge profit margin.

AIG Travel Travel Guard Essential
I found the plans to be confusing. I think when the plan covers a home rental in Florida, you should be able to have red tide included, as it not only impacts your activities, but also can affect your respiratory health. I thought the hurricane wordage was confusing as well. I am thankful I did not have to file for any reason. We were driving to Florida, and there was way too much info about plane reservations, delays, etc.

Had to contact my state’s Insurance Commission and the Wisconsin BBB to get fair treatment. Things are finally resolved after endless humiliation and hassle and only resolved thanks to the Insurance Commissioner and the BBB.

I had a bad experience of not “reading the fine print” and I had a weather hazard event that caused disruption in my trip and my claim was denied because I did not read the fine line of how those events are categorized. I felt it was useless policy and didn’t help me at all when I needed it.

This gave me great peace of mind.!I had a gap in my regular health coverage that coincided with my trip. Being able to purchase travel insurance meant I didn’t have to worry. Thankfully there was no need to use it, but I was glad for the peace of mind it gave!

AIG Travel Travel Guard Deluxe
Obviously the insurance companies are overwhelmed, but there was absolutely no way that I could contact AIG to ask a simple question. I filed the claim online but all of the forms asked for a claim number. Finally I decided to file without a claim number only to discover that the number is assigned only after all of the electronic documents are uploaded. This could have been easily handled by the customer care team, but after two weeks I still have no answer.

The claim was finally settled but my assessment remains the same. The company should have updated the website that assured me that my inquiry would be answered promptly. This expectation caused at least a week of unnecessary delay.

We had to cancel our trip on March 2nd due to illness. This was at the beginning of the Covid 19 pandemic. It took a few weeks longer than usual for the claim to start being processed (which was very understandable). But once the agent opened the case, the process took about a week to complete. Then once fully approved, we received a check for the full amount of insurance claim in 3 days. Outstanding service!
