I will be on my first RS tour coming up in October this year, I looked into the travel insurance from the link provided on the RS website. It is AIG, has anyone used this company? I have purchased insurance through other companies in the past AXA and FlexiPax. Used the AXA and had a good experience getting refunded for canceled flight and minor medical issue. Just wondering about anyone that has experience with AIG.
Thank you.
No AIG experience, but I have had positive results with Allianz. If you travel very much, you may want to consider an annual travel policy with Allianz. Do some price comparisons and see if this might match your needs.
I've had a good experience with AIG. You may also want to look at other options -- if you go to squaremouth.com you can customize the type of policy coverage you are looking for and compare plans and pricing from a number of different companies. That's the site I usually use and it's been a great tool.
We have had excellent experiences with Travel Guard.
FYI
For many policies, it's important to buy the travel insurance within about two weeks of the first trip deposit, if you want pre- existing conditioned coverage.
Have a great trip, and safe travels!
Three Rick Steves tours, Allianz has always been fine. Also, had to cancel our 2024 RS tour, and Allianz was VERY easy to deal with.
Filed a big claim with Alianz during Covid and they were good to work with. Got over $1k back from them. Have moved to an annual policy as it is more economical.
Thank you, everyone. I went ahead and used the RS Website, which took me to AIG. I found a good plan that fits my travel needs.
I had to file a claim for an injury on the South England tour in 2023 and Travel Guard was excellent with superb customer service in getting me home. I was reimbursed for all my expenses and trip interruption coverage. They also purchased a $10,000 business class ticket to fly me home. Travel insurance can give you peace of mind when traveling. It does for me!
