My husband had a freak accident that required him to be hospitalized overnight. We thought he was fine, and would be able to complete our tour, but a day later, (and in a different city), he had to be readmitted, and stayed for three nights.
The medical team at AIG was very supportive and kind. They reminded me to save ALL receipts (including taxi receipts for when I visited my husband in the hospital) and emailed me the needed forms. They suggested I take a photo of the medical charges and email the photo to them so they could get the claim started.
In the end, I was reimbursed for 100% of the cost of the trip, which covered all of our out of pocket expenses and reimbursed us for the days we lost.
It took about 5 weeks for the claim to be processed, and the web site was not very helpful. It showed that I had outstanding items to submit, even after the claim was paid. But the people on the phones were very helpful and courteous.
Overall, I was very pleased with the service and the coverage.

Would love to know what kind of profit you make on travel insurance - so much paid in premiums, probably very little actually gets paid out.

Thank you for providing feedback on this policy.
Each Company will base the premiums of their plans by 3 main factors; (1) the ages of the travelers, (2) the length of your trip from home to home and (3) the total cost of your pre-paid trip cost. As the traveler's ages change, trip costs increase or the length of the trip is extended, the prices will also change accordingly.
Please feel free to give us a call when you plan your next trip. We have licensed agents available 7 days a week to help find the best policy for you, at the lowest premium. We can be reached at 1-800-487-4722.Nov 27,2017

As we age, we are finding that trip insurance is getting far too expensive. The plan we had provided the basic protections that we wanted at a cost we could afford. Thankfully, we did not need to make a claim, so we have no comments about how the company responded to a claim. We like being able to do business over the internet. The company has been responsive but not intrusive in the email that it sends.

Went touring around Australia for 6 weeks and it was very comforting to know that we had this Travel Guard coverage while we were away.
