We never fly overseas without first purchasing trip insurance. This website is the best way to compare plans and obtain estimates on coverage from different companies. It also has helpful links that help explain what each plan covers so you can choose the plan that best fits your needs. Once the plan is purchased, we can leave home with peace of mind knowing we're covered in case of an emergency. I highly recommend insuremytrip.com.

This is an update of a previous review. My claim has been approved and should be paid within 10 days. I think the process could have been simpler. I had a previous claim several years ago that was handled much more expeditiously. I will not use AIG again.

I did not go on the trip. I have never cancelled a trip before but had emergency surgery about a month before and had to cancel. Once I was out of the hospital and began the claim filing process I found the website very easy to use. There were some items I was not clear on regarding prior doctors visits to be listed (it said "all" for 6 months, I was wondering if eye appointments and such were needed). I called customer service and had my questions answered simply and professionally. Once the release from the surgeon was submitted the claim was settled very quickly at the full non-refundable amount of the trip. I was very happy and impressed with AIG. I would recommend them and their product to anyone.

My claim was unfairly denied. I am not going to waste any more time and energy with this company. I will never use them again.

    Thank you for your comments. Although most Comprehensive plans include Trip Cancellation coverage, your trip must be canceled for a covered reason as listed in your policy. Each claim is reviewed by an adjuster and adjudicated based on policy wording. AIG Travel Guard will have a member of the Claims team follow up with you to explain and discuss the reason for denial.

    We hope that you will continue to insure with AIG Travel Guard and InsureMyTrip but suggest that you call us prior to selecting a policy for assistance in comparing plans."

We are over seventy and were in Europe for over three months. We paid $4,500 for your insurance. Nothing happened. We rented a car but you did not cover that because we had insurance from my credit card (which paid us for a charge). So your insurance was useless to us. We have discovered that we don't need the medical coverage you provide and almost everything else you cover is incidental and rare.
