AIG and American Family are two huge companies in the insurance industry. AIG was founded in 1919, while American Family was founded in 1927. While AIG is liked for its wide variety of insurance products and unique auto discounts, American Family is liked for its additional coverage options, friendly agents, and award-winning Teen Safe Driver program.
However, AIG’s customer service and claims management have low ratings, and American Family’s limited services in select states detract from its ratings. Still, both companies have good financial strength ratings.
So which one offers the kinds of discounts, services, and even customer ratings that best fit your car insurance wants and needs? Keep reading to find out.
