Strength:
Low premiums.
Weakness:
No specific agent assigned to your account. I have 4 cars insured, with 2 drivers under 21. I was extremely pleased with the service provided by my (former) independent insurance agent. The premium with Ohio Casualty was far cheaper than Prudential or Allstate. I switched to AIG 3 years ago to save hundreds of dollars in premiums. Last year, my daughter was involved with a minor accident ($1,800)with a trucker who also had AIG Insurance. Her car did not have collision coverage. As a result, I had to follow up myself to get paid. Unlike other insurance companies, there was no agent working exclusively for me. Being a customer of AIG is a trade-off- you get substantially lower rates for less personalized service. I am willing to accept this, but others may not. Similar Products Used: Ohio Casualty,Prudential Insurance, and Allstate. These companies provided superior customer service. |

Switched to AIG from Prudential back in 1995. Initially had excellent rates. My wife and I both are safe drivers with no moving violations. My parents (retired), had a few fender benders and the rates immediately increased on all 3 vehicles insured (the parents just drive one). |

Strength:
They are good at taking your premiums until you have an accident and then they act like they never heard of you.
Weakness:
HORRIBLE customer service, NEVER return calls or let you speak with the same person twice, do not follow up on claims. They should be put out of business. The worst customer service experience from the most incompetent staff I have ever had the misfortune of encountering. Our car was totaled on a cross country trip, the claim was made immediately following the accident, and they did not have the vehicle appraised for THREE MONTHS, because they claimed they could not find it, even though we called them numerous times and the wrecking yard called them. They NEVER returned our phone calls until we had a lawyer contact them. They continued to send our mail to the wrong address, after we had given it to them in numerous calls and email messages, and did not settle our claim until almost FIVE MONTHS after the accident. We have filed complaints with the insurance commissioner and continue to seek legal advice about this matter. Similar Products Used: American Family Insurance is wonderful. |

Weakness:
Wolf in sleeps clothing. That best describes what AIG has best become to me. As this company has quickly increased my premuim and made countless mistakes, for no apparent reason. It is best just to look elsewhere. My intial rate is a far from the current. I went from 3 vehicles with full coverage for less than $1000 to what is now 2 vehicles with full coverage, 1 liability, and cargo trailer(only $15) for $1145 total for six months. To some this might seem reasonable, but my record is perfect, no tickets, no accidents for more than five years, nothing. Why the increase? The answer from AIG is normal increase for the state of Kentucky. Similar Products Used: None |

Strength:
BEST FOR THE MONEY IN NEW JERSEY!!! CUSTOMER SERVICE IS OUTSTANDING!!
Weakness:
All correspondence is done through mail. Wish they had a local office. I couldn't be happier with my insurance company. I live in NJ (highest rates in country). AIG offers you great coverage at afforable rates. I saved $500 myself. Similar Products Used: Liberty Mutual (Not Bad), State Farm (Bites!) |

Strength:
Friendly helpful insurance company that are worth the price.
Weakness:
No grace period for payment delay and no way to auto-pay to a monthly account. I would recommend this company to any and have. Take it from someone who didn't want to change insurance companies, once you get comfortable no one likes much to change, there is enough to keep up with. But thanks in part to Allstate, I switch AIG and saved just over 40%. And I could not be more happy. Similar Products Used: Was with Allstate for years, rates were excessive for the coverage and after a couple of claims from accidents (that were not my fault) and their attitude towards afterwards, switching was absolutely in the cards. |
