Travel Insurance | Top Companies: This Week's Reviews |
|
|
| Services Offered: Travel Insurance |
|
| Company Overview: AIG TravelGuard has been around for over 20 years. The insurance is sold through over 12,000 travel companies. AIG works in more than 130 countries. AIG Travel Guard is a subsidiary of AIG Travel, Inc., a member of the American International Group. |
|
| Our Review: AIG Travel Guard is probably one of the more well known companies, as their website demonstrates. They have all the information laid out for you, and openly offer 24 hour customer support, either via phone or e-mail. They also offer a comprehensive information section on why you should get travel insurance, which is nice. |
|
| User Review: I never thought about travel insurance until we took a vacation to Mexico and everything went wrong. I heard about AIG Travel Guard through my travel agency, so I called them and got a policy on the spot, and saved our vacation. They were great to work with, and answered all my questions. |

| Services Offered: Travel Insurance |
|
| Company Overview: MultiNational Underwriters has over 40 years of experience in finances and insurance. They offer travel insurance through Lloyds, London for people from any country traveling abroad or moving overseas, and insure over 1 million people in over 100 countries. |
|
| Our Review: MultiNational Underwriters has a great website in that it is completely basic. On their front page they display the three plans they offer and explain the details. They don’t have links on the page, though. They are available 24/7, which is always a plus when it comes to travel insurance. Contact information is provided at the bottom of the main page. |
|
| User Review: I found this company through a web search for travel insurance, and I must say I was pleased with the information I found on their website. I was able to review the plans and see which coverage best suited my needs without even applying for a quote or talking to anyone. I did end up using their policy in the end, and the rates were great. |

|
| Services Offered: Travel Insurance, RV Insurance, Term Life Insurance, Auto Insurance |
|
| Company Overview: Good Sam Club was established over 40 years ago to provide RV insurance. Now they offer deals to their members on other insurances such as travel insurance and auto insurance. The company is a member of the RV.net family. |
|
| Our Review: So in order to get travel insurance you have to be a member of the club, which means paying for membership. However, if you’re an avid RV traveler, then it isn’t a bad deal, because you get tons of perks for RVing. However, if all you need is travel insurance, you’ll probably find a better deal elsewhere. |
|
| User Review: I have been RVing for ten years now, and have been a member of the Good Sam Club since I started. When my family wanted to take a vacation to Canada, I was able to get a travel insurance policy direct from them, so that I didn’t have to take my chances with a new company. |
|
|
|
| Services Offered: Travel Insurance, Home Insurance, Life Insurance, Health Insurance, Auto Insurance |
|
| Company Overview: Insurance.Com is a small company in Cleveland, Ohio. Insurance.com is licensed to sell insurance nationwide. They are known in New York as Insurance.com Insurance Agency of Ohio, Inc. and in New Hampshire as Comparison Market Insurance Agency, Inc. |
|
| Our Review: A good company with great service and a functional website. However, to find the travel insurance they do offer, you have to go searching through the health insurance section. It should probably have its own link so that consumers can find it easier. However, once you do find the travel insurance, they offer some great plans. |
|
| User Review: I used Insurance.com to get auto insurance and never even knew they sold travel insurance because it is so hidden. When my family decided to take a vacation to Europe, I was glad to know I could rely on a company I already knew for the insurance I needed. |

| How To Select The Best Company For Travel Insurance |
|
When it comes to ing a proper travel insurance company, you will need to note a few things. First of all, you need to research the companies to see which travel insurance companies offer the coverage you need in the country or countries you are traveling to. For example, some travel insurance companies offer insurance for specific countries, such as Canada or Mexico, while other companies sell general travel insurance regardless of your destination. Also, you will need to decide how long you will need the insurance, depending on how long your trip will be. If you are only staying for a few days, you will be able to find inexpensive policies to meet your needs. However, longer trips will require a longer policy, which means the travel insurance will probably cost more. You need to be sure when buying travel insurance to get the coverage you need. In addition to unexpected medical expenses, there might be other things to consider, such as natural disasters or travel related delays that you cannot afford out of pocket. Many travel insurance companies cover these expenses. If you are uncertain about travel insurance, many websites offer information on travel insurance and why it is helpful. In addition to doing your own research, you can also go to your local travel agency and inquire about travel insurance with them. Finding the right travel insurance doesn’t have to be difficult, as long as you know what you’re doing in advance. And as with all insurance, it is too important not to ask for help if there is something you don’t understand. Just make sure you are in full understanding of what you’re doing, and what you’re looking for. If you aren’t, inquire with friends or business associates that may be able to help you out. Another great resource is going to local independent travel agents for assistance. They will be able to explain things to you, so that there is no confusion when you go to purchase your travel insurance.
