Strength:
NONE.
Weakness:
Every single aspect of their company. STAY AWAY FROM AIG! And pray that if you happen to get in an accident with someone that they aren't insured through them. By far the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life (the kids at the McDonalds counter are more polite) and no one seems to know how to do their job or what other people are doing. Completely dissatisfied with the company and their service as a whole. THANK GOD FOR GEICO! |

I was with AIG from 2004-2008. I had no fewer than four claims with them, and I was always satisfied with how they handled it.

Strength:
Competitive rates, good claims department, fair price paid for total loss
Weakness:
It took them a week to tell me my car was "officially" a total loss and I had a hard time speaking with my aduster. But in all honesty is was a VERY cold winter here in the Chicago area with tons of crashes when I had mine, so I can believe they were really busy. Also, they finally told me my car was totaled on a Wednesday (after noon) and said they would only continue to cover my rental through Friday, after that I had to pay. First of all, why does Wedneday count as "a day" when you call me after 1:00 PM, and second, you don't want to rush a purchase as important as a car. I was going to argue with them about that, but ended up buying a new car that night, so it didn't matter. I ended up on this site because I am thinking of switching auto insurance. I got worried after seeing the new company I'm looking at is rated 2.35/5. I decide to take a look at my current insurer, AIG, to compare, and see they are rated even lower. Obviously, people only review auto insurance when they have a bad experience. I have only been with AIG 6 months and am planning on switching because I can get a lower rate with another company, but I was happy with AIG for the short time I was with them. Their rates are competetive and, for the most part, their staff is helpful. I totaled my previous car this past January and I couldn't believe how easy and painless they made the claim process. I had the crash on the way to work at 8:30 in the morning and had my rental by 1:00. The amount paid to me for my totaled vehicle was FAIR, not too high or too low, and they even kicked in scaled down state sales tax and title prices when I bought a new car within 30 days (scaled down because they understandably won't pay the full tax and title fees for a brand new car when they're totaling out an 8-year old car). Considering that I was expecting to get screwed by an insurance company in that aspect, I was thrilled (which is kind of a sad statement about auto insurance, isn't it?) As I said, I think I'm going to switch to another company now that I can get a lower rate with them, but I was happy with AIG. Similar Products Used: Nationwide |

Strength:
Absolutely wonderful people working there who provide exceptional customer service, always with a smile.
Weakness:
Absolutely no weaknesses here. AIG has been a great experience for me. The cost has been EXTREMELY competitive, and I have never had a bad experience. When I call, they are always helpful and friendly as can be. Last time I called, I called because I needed to use the Security Advantage feature (a free AAA-like feature of AIG Auto policies), and lo and behold, the service was there inside of 30min to help me out, and again, they did this at no charge to me. |

Being in business AIG is the worse Insurance Company I have ever dealt with. I live alone with my 2 grandkids. I asked AIG if occasionally if my boyfriend borrowed my truck if he was covered I was assured he was as long as he had a vaild license, but then a couple of weeks ago my boyfriend totalled my truck. Now they are saying he has to prove he doesn't live with me, he works for a Union so he is on the road all the time only back maybe a few days a month. This is my home not his. AIG are trying to get out of paying for my truck which is worth at the most $3000.00. Customer service and adjuster are very rude. |

Weakness:
Amazingly slow, outright dishonest. A guy with AIG insurance backed into me while I was not moving, 0% my fault. It took 3 weeks for my insurance company to locate the owner of the vehicle, as they gave me bum information but I took down the license.

Didn't have a problem until I wanted some answers for a change in policy and noone could figure out why.
Weakness:
Customer Service is horrible - lady would get an attitude with me when I questioned how I could ower the company money for a period of time at which I wasn't a customer.
I was with AIG for almost 4years when with my rates gradually going down because of obtaining a second vehicle, my not so good traffic record gradually clearing up. Well after 3 years and all my traffic tickets clearing from my record all of a sudden my Insurance goes up $100 extra a month. I call my broker and immediately ask what is going on, she then proceeds to three-way me with the Rep at AIG. After about 45 min of them talking they still can't figure out why my policy was going up. I cancelled my policy that very day... the 13th... on the 16th is when my next payment was due. So in reality they owe me for 3 days of insurance overpaid, not exactly. I recieved a bill about 2 weeks later stating that I owed AIG $81 which included: $3 installment fee, $40 NSF fee, $11 late fee, and $24 of "earned equity". I asked the lady how I can owe them money for time I wasn't a customer and she said that is money they would have made if I would have stayed their customer. So basically I have to pay this "owed" money or else I am going to be sent to collection agency? I am pretty sure that is called extortion... correct me if im wrong!

Terrible customer service, never correct monthly payment they quote you. We were with them for 1.5 yrs b/c we thought that was the best price we could get. Well, NOT worth it! TERRIBLE customer service, charged monthly payments that changed monthly instead of staying at the amount they verbally told us, and never called you back when you had a question and they had to research. |

INFO FROM AIG EMPLOYEES, PAYOUTS, IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA, INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE NOT DICTATCATED WHAT PUBLICATION TO CONSIDER FOR FAIR MARKET VALUE OF A VEHICLE. AIG HAS THERE OWN BOOK/VALUES, WHICH ARE ABOUT 33.% LESS THAN NADA VALUES, AND YOU SIGN YOUR RIGHTS AWAY TO LITIGATION WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR CONTRACT BUYING THERE INSURANCE, FINE PRINT. THIS IS MY STORY/OPINION WITH MY SHORT DISAPOINTING RELATIONSHIP WITH AIG. DURING THIS PAINFULL RELATIONSHIP WITH AIG, I WAS INFORMED THAT AIG STANDS FOR "AMERICAN INSURANCE GROUP" WHICH WAS STARTED IN A FORIEN COUNTRY AND OWNED BY EITHER FORINERS OR A FORIN COUNTRY. I WONDER IF THIS IS TRUE? IS IT JAPAN? OR MAYBE A PEOPLE OR COUNTRY THAT DOES NOT LIKE THE USA. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE ROOT OF THIS INSURANCE MONEY.
THIS IS TO TELL YOU HOW BAD AIG INSURANCE WAS FOR ME, IF YOU HAVE A CLAIM? Similar Products Used: GEICO, WHEN I TRIED AIG I DID NOT CANCEL MY INSURANCE WITH THE COMPANY I HAD BEEN WITH FOR 20 YEARS, I KEPT MY TRUSTFULL INSURANCE COMPANY WITH SOME VEHICLES AND OTHERS WITH AIG, THANK GOD. |

AIG deducted a payment from my checking account without my authorization. I went to their website for some contact information and actually spoke with someone on their "online chatting" service. BUT! She told me she couldn't help me at that division (but didn't AIG take my money?) and to call a 1-800 number which I have yet to do....But I decided to look up some consumer reviews for this company only to discover they're all bad. Now I am scared, and hopefully I don't get the same run-around as everyone else, but I doubt I'm special.... |
