AIG Travel Travel Guard Basic
There is a certain piece of mind when I have trip insurance. I've only purchased this type of insurance in the past few years (as I have gotten older). I've never filed a claim, but my wife has and AIG TG gave us no problems.

I like that you provide cards and luggage labels. Some other plans I have purchased in the past didn't have these. I had to print pages of a policy to take with me.

As an Alabama Independent Insurance Agent, I knew AIG as I have represented them in an Auto program in the past. I chose them because they were familiar to me as an Agent.

It was 2 1/2 months before the claim was paid which I thought was extremely slow. I felt like the claims reps were more interested in not paying the claim than paying it. Finally the claim was paid in full so it turned out OK.

Purchased Arg Travel Guard Basic Plan. Airplane broke down, took 8 hours to get new plane. Called Travel Guard was told
they don't cover mechanical. Great company if you want false security. Bottom-line they don't pay.

    Thank you for providing feedback on this policy.

    Since your flight was not delayed more than 12 hours, the travel delay benefits under this policy would not have been able to provide any coverage. Under the Trip Cancellation or Trip Interruption benefit, they do provide coverage in the event of a strike or inclement weather that causes complete cessation of travel for 24 consecutive hours. Under the listed covered reasons for Trip Cancellation or Trip Interruption, Mechanical Breakdown of a common carrier is not included.

    Of course, it is never good news to hear that your particular situation is not covered. If you would like to contact us to discuss this further, we can be reached at 1-800-487-4722 and we are available 7 days a week. We would be very happy to explain the policy limitations and exclusions further so that you have this information for future travel.

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.

Hard to review since I didn't use the coverage. Gratefully I guess. I did find the purchase easy though.
