In April 2023, I had a scooter accident in Vietnam. I filed my first claim on May 18, 2023. Since then, I have been trying to get a response from AIG related to my claim. There is no one to call. They do not respond to my e-mails. The dozen or so documents I sent could have been reviewed in an hour. Yet, over a month has gone by and I still do not know what is going on with my claim. I keep sending e-mails asking for an update or status, but get nowhere. I have already paid out $3500 in medical and travel expenses to my credit card company. The average person cannot carry this amount for more than a month. Yet, here I am still waiting on any kind of response from AIG. I feel like I will never, ever get an answer from them.

Even though we didn’t need to use the insurance we felt it was a good policy for our trip.

I purchased this AIG Travel Travel Guard plan for a recent cruise to the Bahamas. This was the perfect plan for my needs. It was pretty inexpensive considering all the coverage that came with this plan. And, I didn't spend more for coverage I didn't need. Was very simple to purchase this plan and all correspondence is done on-line and communication is quick and simple. I would certainly purchased this plan again.

Trip did not have the promoter ran off with the money two days before the trip left. I called the insurance report it would happen I was told by the agent edit with a 14 day grace. Period so I can couldn’t make a claim.

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

Most travel insurance included air fare. We were not flying and did not want to pay a rate that included flights. The AIG Travel program we chose fit our travel plans perfectly.
