    My husband and I recently had to cancel an Alaska Cruise one week prior to our scheduled departure. He ended up in the hospital on an emergency. His doctor advised us not to make the trip if he were to be released. My AAA Agent advised Allianz and turned in needed paperwork. I got a letter from the doctor and emailed to Allianz. Within two weeks I received a reimbursement check in the mail. It was such a relief.

    I was delayed overnight on a flight from Mexico with a group of 7 other individuals. I remembered I had insurance and contacted the company. The agent Daniel that I spoke with originally was most helpful with my 2 claims and assisted me with filing the necessary paperwork. He understood the issue and directed me as to which part of policy would benefit me. I am most pleased that after reviewing the paperwork forwarded, the both claims were settled in my favor. For the small cost of the policy, it is worth buying insurance.

    Allianz has been easy to work with as I incurred an injury during my travels. From additional travel expenses that I incurred due to the injury, to the costs not covered by my insurance, Allianz has backed me up entirely. The peace of mind is always worth it, but it's especially worth it when you need to truly utilize the service.

    We purchased tickets to Alaska this summer and used air miles to pay. As we got closer to the time of departure we kept reading about terrible fires and smoke that made the area that we planned to visit unlivable. We contacted Allianz and told them about our dilemma.

Allianz Canada acknowledged receiving the claim 8/9/2019, but on 2 phone calls have failed to acknowledge their contract to pay the claim with 7-10 working days.

    Be careful.... When I read Trip Cancellations as one of the benefits I purchased this for our son. Now I have a situation where his high school had to change their game to the night of his travel day due to Hurricane Dorian. I only asked if I could change the flight for him to fly the following morning and the answer is NO. The only thing this covers is a medical emergency which you have to submit the doctor's note and it is reviewed for 10 days. So even that isn't guaranteed to be covered. If you ask me this is a total scam. The customer service rep did tell me that if the airline cancels the flight it is covered. - Well no kidding - the airline would reimburse me if they cancel the flight. Not Allianz Global. I will never buy this again.

    I recently purchased allianz travel insurance for a hotwire hotel as they do not allow refunds. On the hotwire website, allianz advertises as such "Create memories. Not worries. Benefits include: Trip cancellation protection. 24/7 award-winning live support". Not only did I receive neither of the above, I was very disappointed in the outcome of my claim.

    I am a physician in the ICU and 2 weeks prior to my trip, another physician had a personal emergency and was unable to work the weekend my trip was scheduled. Thus, I was called to work for him. Thankfully, or so I thought, I had bought travel insurance and as this is, in every sense of the term, a medical emergency, I attempted to cancel my trip for a refund. I initially submitted a claim online. After 4-5 business days, they returned my email and stated that my claim was denied as it was not a "personal medical emergency." I called, waited on hold for 20 min for a gentleman whose accent I could not understand who ultimately told me to submit an appeal.

    Thus, I submitted an appeal via email. After extensively working with hotwire to cancel my trip with the hotel and submitting an email detailing the events of the trip cancellation, I received no notification that the email had been received. Approximately 10 business days later, I finally received an email saying again that my claim was denied. I have not yet decided my next move on appealing this, however I would like to advise others against wasting $15-20 on insurance for hotwire hotels that is worthless.

    The claim procedure was simple.. answer several questions and upload verification documents. The progress of the claim could be tracked online too. The claim check was received several weeks after filing. I highly recommend Allianz travel insurance every time you book travel expenses as the unexpected can occur and ruin a vacation. With the claim proceeds you can at least recover your prepaid expenses.

    I recently had an unexpected medical emergency on a cruise ship and had to be medically disembarked in British Columbia (luckily this was our planned last port). The doctor on the cruise ship contacted Allianz on my behalf to check on my coverage. I went to an emergency room and found there was not an ophthalmologist on staff there. I had to be transferred to a second hospital. I had laser surgery there and was cleared to fly. Being in Canada everything medical had to be pre-paid on my credit card. Plus, we didn’t make our original flight, and had to pay for new flights home.

    Allianz was wonderful. They were easy to contact, they mailed me my paperwork for a medical claim and trip interruption. They emailed my travel companion paperwork for trip interruption. We each submitted documentation and each received checks within 10 days. What could have been an awful ending to an otherwise fantastic trip of a lifetime ended up being an adventure story shared with friends & family. My photos of the trip include one of me with my doctor & I tell everyone how I’ll never travel without Allianz in the future!

    I purchased the insurance for a trip overseas that involved a couple of legs and thought I would be covered for any issues. On the first day of my trip my flight was cancelled from my originating airport. This was due to weather and could not be helped. But I missed connecting flights in Newark, Glasgow and London. Because the flights from Glasgow to London to Madrid were booked separately than the initial legs from Columbus/Newark/Glasgow, the airline for the for the second leg of the journey was absolutely no help and even though I called ahead - they listed me as a no-show and charged me for new tickets that were twice as expensive as the original ones I had.

    Well - that is why I bought insurance after all so I thought I was good. But I find out when I get back and am submitting my claim that the extra I had to pay for new tickets was not fully covered by my travel insurance, but that I only got $200 no matter how much the expenses were as a result of the cancelled flight. So in addition to losing a full day of my vacation and having an airline be totally unhelpful and greedy, I also find that the insurance I bought in good faith did not even cover the expenses I incurred. I am unlikely to buy travel insurance from Allianz Global Assistance in the future. I feel very betrayed by this company.

But suggest you make the “covered cancellation policy” more clear and offer coverage for “any reason” cancellation, so you understand what you are actually getting.

    Truth be told, my experience isn’t over yet, but at this point, I’m very dissatisfied. I purchased this trip insurance and had to cancel our trip, when I became pregnant with a high-risk pregnancy and was advised by my doctors not to travel. My claim was processed and approved fairly quickly, which I was happy about, and the customer service was excellent. The website was easy to use and submitting the documents of proof that were needed, was simple and easy. This is where the positive experience ends.

    A few weeks later, I received the refund check for my trip and deposited it into my checking account. A few days later, the check bounced and I was charged a fee by my bank. I contacted Allianz on 8/15/19 and was told that I would need to submit proof that the check bounced and they would have to “request approval” to also refund me the fee my bank charged me for depositing a bad check. I submitted proof of this while still on the phone with a rep and was told that it would take them 3-5 business days to process the new issue/claim, and another 7-10 days to cut me a new check, and the check would arrive in another 7-10 days. Since I’d already had to wait several weeks to be issued the initial refund that bounced, I asked if there was anything they could do to speed this up—they said ‘no’, but agreed that in lieu of another check, they could direct deposit the amount onto my debit card, after the 3-5 days needed for processing.

    By 8/26/19 (11 days later), I contacted them again, as I had not been issued the refund and was only told via email that they had *just* received my documents on 8/23/19–8 days after I emailed the documents of proof. The rep told me that someone there had voided a check on 8/23/19 and I would have to start the claim process over again. Despite being able to read back notes from my claim, showing that I had done everything they’d asked of me, no one could provide a straight answer about why I hadn’t received the funds I am owed.

    Every time I called customer service to discuss this, I had to re-explain the issue, only to be told I would have to talk to a supervisor. I was repeatedly put on-hold, for them to get “a supervisor”, which took 10-20 mins every time, only for them to just get someone on the phone who spoke better English, but basically couldn’t do anything else to resolve the issue. Everyone keeps telling me that “they don’t work in the finance department and can’t control the timelines or policies.”

    Before this payment issue happened, I would’ve absolutely recommended Allianz to others, however, I cannot say that now. I just want the refund I was approved for (and paid to be able to get, if needed), as well as to be issued a refund for the fee my bank charged me, due to the bad check. I should be given more than that, due to all the time I’ve wasted on this, but I doubt that will happen.

    I had great experiences with both the JetBlue and Allianz reps, when I had to cancel my JetBlue trip (**) of 8/2/19 due to complications that my daughter-in-law had developed with her pregnancy. Needless to say, I was very distraught, and appreciated very much the sincerity and compassion of both reps. The process was seamless and without any hassle. Kudos to both reps for their professionalism, kindness and empathy. I received a refund for the full fare amount on schedule. I am so sorry that I could not recall the names of both the JetBlue and Allianz reps who assisted me.

    That was unlike my encounter with a second Allianz rep and his so-called supervisor when I placed a call, on my daughter’s behalf, regarding the status of her refund. Both the rep and his supervisor were uncaring, unsympathetic and very cold. They were robotic-like in their responses and did not care about the reason for the trip cancellation. They insisted that my daughter, Taryn **, needed to show proof by getting a doctor’s note from my daughter-in-law’s physician before the refund could be processed. My daughter is still waiting for her refund.

    You buy airline insurance for the just in case something bad happens or the what if things that life throws at you.

I was admitted into the hospitals and stayed there for treatment. I, of course will be missing both of my flights. I completed all the correct paperwork and submitted it. My claim was denied because mental illness are not covered.

    SO. Pro-tip. READ what they actual cover under medical because it's a JOKE to say that they actual cover medical reasons. If you have Alzheimer's, dementia, neurosis, psychosis, or any mental health or nervous disorder it is NOT covered under trip cancellation. ALWAYS read what they actually cover, that was my mistake. I read through the policy. It's a joke to pay money for this. I will not be a customer again and will not recommend this to anyone.

I am angry with myself for clearly not understanding the contract and yet I don’t blame you for the lost $2200, it was my fault. It didn’t even enter my mind that there would be a problem with the insurance! I’m stunned that I gave Hawaiian Airlines $2200 and received nothing in return!!

Upon our return I submitted a claim for doc and meds and in less than 10 days got a check from Allianz for full amount.

I am an MD, and the brain is part of the body. This is overt discrimination. On the Alaska site from which we purchased it, there was no information under the FAQs, although there was a warning about existing medical conditions (which didn't apply in our case). As best I could tell, you couldn't read about what was covered until after you purchased the policy.

    We had to stay overnight in Chicago due to an airline flight delay from Vancouver that caused us to miss our flight connection in Chicago. Allianz helped us find a hotel for the night and also fully reimbursed us for the unexpected one day cost. Purchasing the Allianz travel insurance was well worth the peace of mind you get, and they proved to be an excellent company when you do experience a problem with your trip.

The experience with Allianz Global Assistance was nothing but excellent. Because of a medical problem, we had to cancel a trip that was planned for over a year.

    My husband and I had a number of bad experiences with American Airlines recently during our honeymoon... cancelled flight, delayed flights and lost luggage. Over a month after our return, we were still fighting with the airline for reimbursements that were 100% their responsibility. After being reimbursed for most of it, I decided to reach out to Allianz for the remaining items. Without delay or question, they processed the reimbursement as soon as I submitted the necessary documents/receipts online. It was such a smooth and pleasant experience. I could only wish that American Airlines learn from Allianz! I appreciate the wonderful customer service provided by Allianz after the complete exhaustion from fighting an airline that has NO customer service. Thank you!

    I responded equivocally to your initial request for survey feedback. I had had some challenge using the Allianz web claim site and my claim had not been yet processed so it seemed premature to survey. At the time (3 days ago), Allianz indicated it would take up to 10 business days to process our claim. Imagine my very pleasant surprise to open today a check in the full amount of our claim. Consider me VERY satisfied with Allianz. Thank you.

    Original Review: Aug. 9, 2019

    Dissatisfied is too strong. Right now just mildly annoyed. Web site failed (twice) to upload documents despite indicating that it had succeeded. Required 2 calls to Allianz. Second Allianz rep confessed to website challenges and suggested that I email the requested attachments. I did. The web site stated that claims would be addressed in 5 work days. The email did succeed, but promised claims resolution in 10 days. A very time consuming process. As well, no one can identify if we will be refunded our entire ticket amounts or if we will instead be expected to take one year airline credit and Allianz will cover only the gap. If the latter is true, this insurance will have been a real waste of money as well as a drain on my time. Last, it is a strange time for Allianz to be conducting a POS survey. At this time, Allianz has done nothing but has consumed a fair amount of our time.

    Initially we purchased insurance because we had a lot of bad luck lately with health and our dog. I didn't know if this was a credible insurance, but went along with it just in case. Due to health issues again we had to cancel our Europe trip unfortunately and not take any chances. We reached out to Allianz with he proper documentation since we purchased insurance this time and was able to pretty much get everything refunded and all the fees. I was skeptic at first because insurance company always deny what they can pay or give you the run around but Allianz was actually honest, quick and able to assist me and my wife in the proper way. Thank you for your honest business and keep up the great work. Your loyal customer Jeff

    We had bought airline tickets four months early so my 95-year-old mother could attend the funeral of a life-long friend. The day before departure she was taken to hospital by ambulance for chest pain. Tests indicated cardiac problem and the likelihood of another, more serious event was high. Upon doctor's recommendation she cancelled the trip. The claim process was a breeze. Easily laid out online, no onerous requirements, just a brief history of what happened and attachment of electronic medical records from the hospital. Within a few days my mother had received a check covering her airfare. We are very, very happy with Allianz.
