This was my first time purchasing trip insurance. It was an expensive trip and we were concerned about the possibility of last minute plan changes due to my elderly mother-in-laws health. Fortunately all went as planned, insurance wasn't needed but I'm glad we had it.

It is difficult to evaluate a plan when you don't need to use it.

Only problem was getting the plan in my hands before the trip as the paperwork was sent to the wrong address. Was not sure if I had to be at my residence when the re-mailing occurred as I was not at home when it was planned to be sent. Thought maybe the plan had to be signed for. Paid post office to delay the delivery for 4 days until I returned to my address.

Unfortunately we had to cancel our September 2018 cruise (a hurricane will make travel impossible). The claim filing process was easy and the claim was paid fairly quickly. Can't ask for more than that.

I always find this survey strange. I did not need to use it which is a good thing. So rating it is a bit hard.
I always thing the cost is high.

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.
