---

AIG Travel, Inc., a member of American International Group, Inc., is a worldwide leader in travel insurance and global assistance. Travel Guard is the marketing name for its portfolio of travel insurance solutions and travel-related services, including medical and security services, marketed to both leisure and business travelers around the globe. Services are provided through a network of wholly owned service centers located in Asia, Europe and the Americas.

AIG was founded December 19, 1919 when American Cornelius Vander Starr (1892–1968) established a general insurance agency, American Asiatic Underwriters (AAU), in Shanghai, China. Business grew rapidly, and two years later, Starr formed a life insurance operation. In 1926, Starr opened his first office in the United States, American International Underwriters Corporation (AIU). In 1939, Starr moved his headquarters from Shanghai, China, to New York City. Today, under American International Group, Inc. (AIG), the company is an American multinational finance and insurance corporation with operations in more than 80 countries and jurisdictions.

"If you've never heard of Travel Guard, you probably know AIG, its parent company. Like the other insurance companies on this list, it has a sterling reputation for delivering insurance coverage to travelers. I've had several dealings with Travel Guard since I published my last list of insurance companies. Travel Guard processed its claims quickly and followed up to make sure the customer was happy. I'm impressed by their professional attitude and have absolutely no reservations about recommending a Travel Guard policy. "
