AIG Travel Guard Review – Independent Assessment

First, we concern ourselves with the financial health of the underlying insurance carrier.

In this case, AIG Travel’s underwriter for this plan, National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, maintains an “A” (Excellent) A.M. Best rating.

Secondly, we are interested in the health of Travel Guard insurance itself.

AIG Travel Guard maintains an A+ Better Business Bureau rating. BBB does not issue a higher rating than A+, so that gives us great confidence to recommend AIG Travel Guard.

Finally, we are concerned about the way in which customers feel that they have been treated using Travel Guard insurance. AIG Travel Guard Insurance reviews are key to understanding how customers feel they are treated by AIG when they have cause to claim. We therefore monitor reviews of AIG Travel Guard insurance on an on-going basis.

AIG Travel Guard Trip Insurance Plans

AIG travel insurance Travel Guard uses dynamic pricing.

This means the premium varies based on the age of the traveler, traveler’s state of residence, cost of the trip, and length of the trip. The premium also increases as the departure date nears.

If you need to add trip costs to your plan after purchase, be aware that the premium may increase dramatically.

AIG Travel Guard offers incredibly strong underwriting, business practices, and customer support. We recommend Travel Guard to our customers without hesitation.

In this review, we discuss:

• AIG Travel Guard Essential
• AIG Travel Guard Preferred
• AIG Travel Guard Deluxe
• AIG Travel Guard Plus

Here is a brief summary of the plans that we offer from AIG Travel Guard.

Please be aware that AIG Travel Guard Trip Cancellation terms differ between every AIG Travel Guard policy type. If you are unsure which plan is best suited to you, speak to one of our licensed agents today.

AIG Travel Guard Essential

AIG Travel Guard Essential works best for travelers and families who want basic comprehensive coverage and access to 24-hour Emergency Travel Assistance Services.

We love that Travel Guard Essential boasts some important Medical benefits. It has $15,000 Primary Medical Insurance, $150,000 Medical Evacuation, and if purchased within 15 days of initial trip payment, covers Pre-existing Medical Conditions.

The policy also protects you against the Default/Bankruptcy of the Common Carrier when you purchase the plan within those first 15 days.

In addition, you save money insuring children for travel. For each named adult, Travel Guard by AIG includes one child age 17 and under at no additional cost.

AIG Travel Guard Preferred

AIG Travel Guard Preferred has solid Medical Insurance, Medical Evacuation and Cancellation/Interruption benefits. It’s ideal for travelers and families primarily concerned with Cancellation Insurance and 24-hours Travel Assistance Services.

You’ll find robust Medical coverage with AIG Travel Guard Preferred. It covers $50,000 Primary Medical Insurance, $500,000 Medical Evacuation and a Pre-existing Medical Condition Exclusion Waiver when you enroll within 15 days of making your initial trip deposit or payment.

AIG Travel Guard Preferred covers Default/Bankruptcy of the Common Carrier regardless of when you purchase the policy.

Like Travel Guard Essential, Travel Guard Preferred also includes coverage for children age 17 and under for each adult named on the plan.

Further, AIG Travel Guard Preferred gives you benefits such as Trip Saver and Trip Exchange.

Trip Saver reimburses you for the added cost of transportation, meals, and hotel if the common carrier cancels your flight due to inclement weather and you must book an earlier date or different location.

Trip Exchange helps if you have to cancel for a covered reason and rebook your trip. You receive reimbursement for the difference in cost between the original trip and the new one, change fees, cancellation penalty, and cost of the original insurance plan. 

AIG Travel Guard Deluxe

The AIG Travel Guard Deluxe plan is for travelers who want a comprehensive package of travel insurance cover and assistance services. It is the most popular and appropriate among international and cruise travelers.

You can enjoy a tremendous $100,000 Primary Medical Insurance benefit and $1,000,000 Medical Evacuation.

Like the other AIG plans, AIG Travel Guard Deluxe covers for Pre-Existing Medical Conditions when you purchase it within 15 days of the initial trip deposit.

AIG Travel Guard Deluxe also includes several other perks. It protects you from Carrier Financial Default regardless of when you purchase the plan. Plus, it also has enhanced Baggage Insurance, Travel Inconvenience compensation, and Security Protection.

For example, some of the Travel Inconvenience benefits include Missing Work, Runway Delay, Cruise Diversion, Hotel Infestation, Rental Vehicle Breakdown and a variety of others.

Like AIG Travel Guard Preferred, the Deluxe plan also gives you access to the Trip Saver and Trip Exchange programs.

AIG Travel Guard Plus

AIG Travel Guard Plus is ideal for international travelers who want a comprehensive package of Medical Insurance, Medical Evacuation, Cancellation and Interruption Insurance, and 24-hour Worldwide Travel Assistance Services.

Most often, we recommend AIG Travel Guard Plus for travelers taking world cruises, trips to remote destinations like Antarctica and the Galapagos, or African safaris. Seniors can find outstanding value with Travel Guard Plus.

The Plus plan accommodates Pre-Existing Medical Conditions when you purchase the policy within 21 days of the initial trip deposit.

AIG Travel Guard Plus provides you with $100,000 Medical Insurance, $1,000,000 Medical Evacuation, $50,000 Accidental Death and Dismemberment, Baggage Loss & Delay, Missed Connection and Trip Delay insurances.

Note that the traveler’s destination also affects the price of AIG Travel Guard Plus.

The AIG Travel Guard Plus plan is an excellent choice if you are seeking AIG Travel Guard international coverage for your trip.

AIG Travel Guard Annual Plan

AIG Travel Guard Annual Plan is not a plan we currently sell on AARDY.com as we feel the policy limitations with an annual plan do not offer sufficient cover for our customers. If however you still prefer to purchase an AIG Travel Guard Annual Plan, please reach out to our agents who will be able to assist you.

AIG Travel Guard Gold Plan

If you are searching for the AIG Travel Guard Gold plan, AIG Travel Guard Silver plan or the AIG Travel Guard Bronze plan, these are no longer available from AIG and were rebranded as the AIG Essential, Preferred Deluxe and Plus plans.
