AIG Travel Travel Guard® Essential
HORRENDOUS SERVICE, FRAUD. Purchased travel insurance specifically covering trip cancellation. Trip was cancelled and full documentation of cancellation and non-refundable costs was provided.

AIG fraudulently denying the claim and citing one technicality after another. It was bad enough that the trip was canceled now I'm in a bureaucratic nightmare

Spent $1700 for nothing
Paul S. would recommend this plan to a friend or relative.
