AIG vs Travelers: How Do They Compare for Commercial Property Insurance?

AIG markets commercial property insurance and identifies Retail Property as a product area. For domestic and global corporate and risk-management clients, the page describes both risk-transfer insurance and non-risk-transfer fronting or captive solutions; those structures are not the same as an insurance policy issued by AIG. ³Company-reported. AIG’s U.S. Commercial Property page. It does not identify the insurer or fronting company for a particular buyer’s placement.

Travelers underwrites commercial property insurance as a standalone policy or packaged with other coverage, with separate product tiers for small, midsized, and large or specialty businesses. ⁷Company-reported. Product page tier descriptions.

AIG names businesses including hospitals, universities and global manufacturing among the varied organizations for which it has property options. The page does not provide a complete eligible-class list or state-by-state availability schedule. ³Company-reported. Illustrative customer types on AIG’s U.S. Commercial Property page; examples do not establish an applicant’s eligibility.

Travelers offers small business property coverage bundled into its Business Owner's Policy for classes such as contractors, healthcare, retail, restaurants and technology services, Travelers Deluxe and OMNI for midsized businesses, and Customized Property Coverage for large, specialized or high-value risks. ⁷Company-reported. Product page small, midsized and large/specialty business sections.

AIG describes commercial property insurance as protecting business physical property against unexpected events such as storm damage, theft and vandalism, and says coverage can extend to certain work-related contents such as office equipment, furniture, fixtures and inventory. These are examples; actual coverage depends on the facts and each policy’s terms, conditions and exclusions. ³Company-reported. General property description on AIG’s product page, not a summary of a specific policy or all covered causes of loss.

Travelers says the policy covers a company's buildings, office equipment, furniture, fixtures, inventory and lost business income from events such as fire, explosion, storms, theft and vandalism, with additional coverage often available for floods, earthquakes and equipment breakdown. ⁷Company-reported. Product page "What does commercial property insurance cover?" FAQ; actual inclusions and exclusions are set by the issued policy.

The reviewed page does not state standard property limits, deductibles or retentions for a buyer. Confirm those amounts, covered causes and conditions in the quote and issued policy. ³Not publicly disclosed. AIG’s U.S. Commercial Property marketing page reviewed 2026-09-30; no buyer-specific quote or policy form was reviewed.

Travelers says its excess property market typically attaches at $1,000,000 or greater; standard-tier limits and deductibles are not published and depend on the quote. ⁷Company-reported. Product page "Excess property market" section.

AIG says property risk engineers help clients identify and mitigate loss and that its engineers collaborate with clients on solutions tailored to risk factors. The page does not state that these services are included for every account or guarantee reduced losses. ³Company-reported.

Travelers says property customers get access to Risk Control property specialists, an Under Deductible Subrogation service to pursue reimbursement for losses below the deductible, and wildfire mitigation discounts for qualifying properties. ⁷Company-reported.
