With an aging father this plan gave me peace of mind during my trip. Wanted to make sure we were covered in case we had to race back home for unforeseen events. Also wanted to make sure we were covered for medical expenses in country should there be a need. Fortunately we didn't have any problems, but peace of mind is certainly worth it on an expensive trip. Customer Service at InsureMyTrip.com was excellent in helping me choose the right plan as not all plans covered what I needed.

Unfortunately, the basic plan did not cover my baggage delay for more than 24 hours because it was travel to final destination.

    Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We are sorry to learn that your luggage was delayed. It is standard in the travel insurance industry to cover baggage delay on the outward journey only to cover for personal items during your trip.

    If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact our office at 800-487-4722 where a licensed representative would be happy to help you.

Trip delay insurance add a small limit. I had cost over $3500, but the coverage was only $1,000.

    Thank you for your review.

    AIG Travel Guard based your 2,000 USD reimbursement for two travelers on the following per person limits:

    Travel Delay 12+ hours
    100 USD/day; 500 USD max. (secondary)

    All Comprehensive plans listed on our website have daily and maximum limitations for Travel Delay. However, you may wish to consider the AIG Travel Guard Gold or Platinum plans, which offer higher Travel Delay limits, for your next trip.

Since I didn’t have to use it I can’t comment on how well the claim process goes. But I was very happy to have it and it was a very good price. Thank you

We purchased travel insurance for a cruise of the Eastern Mediterranean for late September. Unfortunately, my wife came down with some medical problems and we had to cancel. I have seen many reviews that were positive but never had to exercise the policy and a number of reviews that were negative when they tried to collect so I wanted to write a positive experience for a policy that I had to collect on. The true reviews are how a company performs when you have to exercise the policy.

The AIG Travel guard web site was very easy to use to file a claim and was very clear on the documentation needed for validation of the claim. All the documentation could be up-loaded through the web site and I could add extra documentation as needed. After the documentation was complete (it took a day or two to get everything up-loaded) I waited about 2 weeks and got an e-mail stating I was getting a refund for the full amount that I submitted. From reading about problems with collecting on travel insurance, I fully expected to have to haggle with AIG but I did not. I am extremely happy with AIG Travel Guard and will buy only by from them in the future.

Luckily we did not have to file a claim but we felt peace of mind knowing we had insurance to cover what was important to us at a reasonable cost.
