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!

The claim was for Trip cancellation due to illness.
The good part is that they spotted an inconsistency in the Doctor's Report and, instead of just denying the claim, they sent a clarification email with a form for the doctor to fill out. Once this form was returned to them, they paid promptly and fairly. So they actually care about their customers.
The bad part is that it took them 10 weeks just to look at the claim after I filed it. And most of that was before the Pandemic.
So expect to be treated fairly, but don't expect fast service.

We filed a claim after our infant daughter became ill on the eve of travel and we had to cancel the trip. AIG covered our claim, which was for non refundable lodging and the airline cancellation fee. Overall I was satisfied with the experience. My only complaints were that it took 2.5 months for the claim to be processed- I’m guessing part of this delay was due to the COVID pandemic, though. The other issue was that I did not receive any communication about the claim until I received a check in the mail. I did periodically check their website, but it would have been nice to get an email once the claim was approved. Overall, though, it was a fine experience and I would use it again.

We are sorry you had to cancel your trip, and we hope your daughter is doing better! Thank you for sharing your overall positive claim experience. However, I’m sorry to hear you were not entirely satisfied with the communication leading up to your paid claim. COVID-19 has resulted in historically high claim volume, but we continue to strive for exemplary service. We appreciate your feedback so we can do better! We hope you will be able to schedule another trip soon. Take care and stay safe.Sep 24,2020

Although payment was eventually made under the plan, it was very difficult to get information on the status of the claim. This, of course, could be because of the Coronavirus situation, but attempts to call by phone were of no avail. I was on hold for over an hour snd had to finally give up. Emails were also not answered. It was only after I contacted InsureMyTrip and told them of my problem that I received payment.

We missed some of the sites because they were closed on account of the virus.

My husband needed a medical evacuation. Due to the lack of urgency on the part of international representatives, he was not evacuated in time and died. The biggest problem was with each contact, a completely different representative handled the situation. No dedicated person until he was hopeless.

did not need to use the plan, but comforting to know it was in place. travel now is very iffy and with this virus, a person should not travel with out insurance (medicare and most other healthcare plans do not cover out of country costs, ie: cruises)

We did not have a need to file a claim but just having the coverage helped us relax and enjoy our trip.
