What Are the Key Differences Between AIG and Chubb General Liability Insurance?

Standalone Availability and Pollution

Chubb says it does not sell general liability as a public standalone monoline product; buyers access it through BOP, Benchmarq, Customarq or GL Plus, which adds affirmative products pollution and scalable premises pollution. AIG lists GL as a component in selected programs but its overview does not define product pollution protection. Businesses with pollution exposure should compare Chubb's GL Plus grant to the specific AIG program form. [1] [4]

Package Eligibility and Placement

Chubb's package products target small businesses up to $30 million revenue across more than 500 classes, and agents or brokers can quote through Chubb Marketplace; its risk consulting and casualty claims service are also described. AIG describes program administrator underwriting and loss control. Confirm each provider's class appetite, package requirements and service access for the buyer. [1] [3]
