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

I had a medical emergency and had to fly back home immediately. Scott with AIG did an outstanding job handling my claims. They were handled easily with the utmost professionalism and prompt reimbursement. In addition to Scott doing a great job, he added a level of compassion which I really appreciated as I was just out of the hospital. Great job!! I will definitely use AIG for my travel insurance needs again.

You really never know how good or bad trip insurance is until you need to make a claim. We made a claim for travel interruption and AIG Travel was a pleasure to work with. They were responsive and attending to all of our requests. We we fully reimbursed for our expenses within a couple of weeks after we submitted the supporting documentation.

I filed a claim because, after making an Airbnb reservation, the place was revealed to be infested with bedbugs. Airbnb would not refund because the host would not cooperate. They urged me to file a claim with my travel insurance.
The adjuster sent a series of absurd emails which suggested that I would only be compensated if I KEPT the reservation and CONTRACTED bed bugs. This is a public health nightmare, and especially galling because I'd upgraded coverage because of the constant shuffling of plans around COVID.

Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to learn that you were unable to travel. Please see the response provided by AIG Travel Guard below:
“I’m sorry to hear about these challenges surrounding your canceled trip. Our insurance plans include a list of covered reasons for cancellation. Claims are fully adjudicated based on the coverage purchased, and supporting documentation. Covered perils are outlined within the Policy of Insurance, and are reviewed with Insureds during the claims adjudication process. Aside from cancellation coverage, all other benefits are “port departure” benefits, meaning the loss must occur while on the covered trip for coverage to apply. If you have further questions about the outcome of your claim, please contact Travel Guard or the Claim Adjuster assigned to your claim. We are here to help.”Jan 13,2022

Had to contact my state’s Insurance Commission and the Wisconsin BBB to get fair treatment. Things are finally resolved after endless humiliation and hassle and only resolved thanks to the Insurance Commissioner and the BBB.

I had a bad experience of not “reading the fine print” and I had a weather hazard event that caused disruption in my trip and my claim was denied because I did not read the fine line of how those events are categorized. I felt it was useless policy and didn’t help me at all when I needed it.

Obviously the insurance companies are overwhelmed, but there was absolutely no way that I could contact AIG to ask a simple question. I filed the claim online but all of the forms asked for a claim number. Finally I decided to file without a claim number only to discover that the number is assigned only after all of the electronic documents are uploaded. This could have been easily handled by the customer care team, but after two weeks I still have no answer.
The claim was finally settled but my assessment remains the same. The company should have updated the website that assured me that my inquiry would be answered promptly. This expectation caused at least a week of unnecessary delay.

We had to cancel our trip on March 2nd due to illness. This was at the beginning of the Covid 19 pandemic. It took a few weeks longer than usual for the claim to start being processed (which was very understandable). But once the agent opened the case, the process took about a week to complete. Then once fully approved, we received a check for the full amount of insurance claim in 3 days. Outstanding service!
