TRAVELEX paid a $650 medical claim immediately. Got a sore throat and cold on a cruise ship in Asia. TRAVELEX not only paid the medical bill, but also reimbursed me for a $160 shore excursion I missed. They could not have been nicer or more efficient. We travel a lot and always use them. You should too.

In March 2015, my 96 yr old dad ended up in the hospital the day before my trip to the Holy Land, so I obviously canceled on the last day. Travel Guard was awesome so I used them for two trips after that!

AIG Travel Guard Insurance review
On the middle of a transatlantic cruise in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, my wife suddenly became ill. It’s a worst case scenario, 1000s of miles from the nearest port and only option is a clinic on the ship. She was rushed to the ships doctor and they took vitals and did lab tests. In the meantime, I used the ship-to-shore radio to call AIG very early in the morning. The first person took my information and placed me on hold to speak to a specialist. Because it costs $5 a minute, I hung up after a couple of minutes. I figured it would be better to contact them later when it wasn’t insanely expensive to call. AIG reached out to me immediately with multiple emails offering their assistance with medical monitoring, research, medical referrals, and travel. In addition, all the claims forms were mailed and waiting for us when we arrived. AIG provided a link informing me the status of the claim. They give me the direct telephone number of the person handling the claim. After a couple of weeks, I called this person asking if she needed more information to process the claim. Five minutes later, she call me and said she was approving my entire claim. You hope you don’t need it but this is absolutely the best travel insurance. You are dealing with professionals that are focused on dealing with your medical emergency and not denying your claim.

Travelex Travel Insurance review
Could you confirm we have travel insurance? Primary traveler is Jacqueline Yockey and confirmation is TTB482470. Ten travelers total. Have we paid in full? Can we add on any additional travelers from Kentucky? How about from out of state? Our group consists of about 50 passengers going on the same tour but from different states. Thank you in advance, Jacqueline Yockey
