    I bought a trip for my son as a gift, I bought cancellation insurance for the flight, because he’s been in the fire department hiring process, he was selected and was told he would have to be ready for a phone call to be ready for training, which means he can’t take any chances going away. When I called to cancel I was told this was not a covered reason, when I explained, he said “oh you knew this before booking”. I said yes. He then told me, they don’t cover training or assessments, and his training wasn’t on the days of travel. I told him due to the nature of the travel, it would put him in situations where he could be declined his spot, he then stated “well I can put in a claim but good luck”.

    I asked to speak to a supervisor, he then said, "Well we have six here so it will take 24 to 48 hours for them to respond." I said, "Well that's not fair, he can’t go and I bought this for these reasons." He said, "Well you didn’t read the reason not covered when you pressed confirm." I got angry, he laughed on the phone and said, "Well mama I’m going to hang up now." I asked what his name was. He said “Jackson, but that doesn’t matter. Do you want to put in a claim or wait 24 to 48 hours for a supervisor to call you. You won’t be getting your money back because he isn’t going to train until after his trip.”

    I told him that during his trip time he would be preparing for the training day, he said “Cancellation doesn’t refund being assessed or training.” I again explained that it’s not assessment, he’s already been hired and was told to be ready as he can get called in any time. I have no reason to put down any company, but I bought this insurance for a very good reason, I was not treated right at all on the phone, he put me down, laughed at me and told me, "Well good luck", then hung up on me. I truly feel this is not right, Why else would someone cancel a trip unless for good reason. I just don’t feel this was fair at all for our circumstances.

    I became very ill in Thailand and Allianz was there for me every step of the way. Per my insurance plan with them, they paid for my hospital bill in full and upfront with little to no interference from me. There was a qualified rep there every single time I called from my hospital bed and they were always friendly and willing to answer all of my questions. Allianz worked with a Thai insurance company to make sure all of my bills were paid to the hospitals I stayed in and made sure I was getting the best care possible in the city I was sick in. Also per my plan with them, they even offered to pay my return flight home if I needed it, but I ended up continuing my trip.

    Filing a claim with Allianz wasn't like filing with other insurance companies where they try to tell you you're not covered. Allianz didn't beat around the bush or make me jump through any hoops, they just helped me. Travel insurance was the best purchase I made for my trip and I never recommend anyone traveling without it.

    Good morning. Allianz provided superior service when I became ill on a Holland America Cruise and required medical attention beginning Nov. 3 thru Nov. 14. Attention by the Allianz staff, on a daily basis, was comforting; payment for services rendered by the Madeira Clinic, reimbursement for interrupted cruise, and repatriation to the USA was "immediate." Thank you. At present, the only unreimbursed portion for medical care are the Infirmary charges by the Konigsdam Ship/Holland America.

    My daughter pulls her hamstring 3 days before an event. I call them to ask them is there anything I need to do or if I need to put in the cancellation of the event in advance as she wouldn't be able to go to a college showcase tournament. She informs me that there is no problems. I can see how the hamstring is and if she goes, she goes if not I can put the claim in afterward (never tells me I would need a Dr note).

    My daughter decided she couldn't perform her best and if she is trying to get a scholarship, you have to be 100%. I go to put in the claim and they keep saying I need a Dr. note. I was never told that was needed when I called prior to the event and they WILL NOT review the tape done on Jan 10th with the agent that would prove this fact. That would have been nice to know. It wasn't a huge pull but it would have been a waste of time to go because she couldn't spring. I would spend more money going to a Dr to tell me she needs to rest to get a note to get back my 150.00. Just ridiculous.

    Then they send me scripted emails telling me to put in a claim or submit my needs. I have about 5 times and they will just find a way to not pay. That is all. They make their money taking these small policies and then they don't pay out on them. The camp coordinator felt so bad for this experience, he has already offered us admission to another camp because this insurance company is a joke!! DO NOT BUY, it is FALSE and never intended to be followed through yet. The agents all answer the same way and have no ability to problem solve. You just keep submitting on websites.

"Oh, I am sorry, you do not qualify as you don't have a medical emergency" was the heavy Mexican accent on their claims' line. In small print hidden somewhere they define 'cancellation' as a 'medical emergency'. I have appealed to them to pay up or, if it is medical insurance, to refund my initial insurance money as the flight has now been canceled.

We flew to Chicago and were supposed to fly into JFK then to Barcelona.

    Don’t buy travel insurance from this company -- you are wasting your money. We spent over $900 on travel insurance for two people but weren’t covered for anything when our travel agency went bankrupt halfway through our trip. If you read the fine print (which I will explain more of below), Allianz travel insurance ends up being useless and essentially a scam. After you “choose” a plan and spend time providing detailed information about yourself and trip, you receive an intentionally misleading email and policy card.

    Both show a list of various coverages, such as “Trip Interruption”, “Lost/Stolen Baggage”, etc., which fool you into believing you are protected from common travel mishaps. Wrong. In reality, you aren’t protected against the vast majority of things that are likely to be problems on a trip. With so many pages of exclusions and conditions in their policy fine print, you are more likely to get hit by lightning than meet their requirements to make a claim.

    Here is some of the fine print explained and why their travel insurance is a joke: 1) Lost or stolen baggage: The following personal items are NOT covered by Allianz: sunglasses, eyeglasses, cosmetics, medicines, tickets, passports, money, credit cards, and keys. For jewelry, laptops, and electronic items, you MUST have original receipts for these items or you get NOTHING. Even with receipts, there is a maximum of $500 coverage in total (does your laptop cost less than $500? ). For any other items (which are essentially just clothes now), you will receive only 75% of current market value (which is probably around $5 for a typical pair of pants or shirt).

    2) Travel agency goes broke: You get NOTHING unless the travel agency is specifically named on their “supplier list.” However, you won’t see the list of their suppliers until after you purchase the travel insurance. More importantly, Allianz won’t notify you if your travel agent isn’t on the list, as one would expect. As far as they’re concerned, you not noticing this is your problem. Keep your fingers crossed that you are using one of their identified suppliers -- there is a strong chance you aren’t. Even if your travel agent was on the supplier list when you bought the insurance, they could be removed from the list by the date your trip begins. If they’ve fallen off the list, there’s nothing you can do, and you won’t be covered or reimbursed.

    You get NOTHING unless you purchase the insurance at the same time you make your initial trip payment (i.e., within 14 days). For example, if you reserve your trip a year in advance and then buy your travel insurance a few months later, you aren’t covered. You get NOTHING if your travel agency goes broke before the seventh day of your trip. They have to remain financially solvent until you're on your eighth day of traveling.

    As you can see, it is next to impossible to meet all the travel insurance claim requirements if you experience a problem. In my opinion, before you hand over your hard-earned money to Allianz, talk to your credit card provider, your airline, and your health insurance company. You will more likely be covered by them if there is a problem than by Allianz.

    My issue was resolved within two weeks. I am so glad that I bought this insurance, especially with this company, and that the issue was able to be resolved so quickly. Would definitely purchase insurance with this company again. I used the telephone service first, which directed me to submitting my claim online. That was great advice as the claim went through much faster submitting evidence online than it would have over the phone. Phone service was also quick. I was barely on hold before my questions were answered.

    This is how insurance should work... uncomplicated and fair. All we had to do is show proof the flight was cancelled and submit the bills we incurred, and they were promptly refunded. The agent on the phone was friendly and understanding.

    I cancelled our trip including our American Airline Tickets due to my illness. American Airlines would not refund our money, they would only reschedule. Since my husband was hospitalized right before we were supposed to take our trip, I could not even imagine rescheduling. Luckily and happily, Allianz's insurance returned our entire ticket price. Thank you very much!

    I don’t understand why people give Allianz a bad review sometimes. We always purchased insurance through them. When we have had to use it, they ask to provide specific documentation and we have always got our refund within a week. Super easy to work with!

    Somehow I was only refunded for 1 ticket that was a part of my files claim. When I called to ask about the other ticket, they said I needed military orders. I told them several times I did not have any sort of military orders because there was simply no change in orders! I simply had to stay longer at work because of requirements with the navy. In this case, there’s no such thing as military orders. How did I get only a partial refund back, then I needed orders for the next ticket That doesn’t make sense. I will not use this insurance again. This was after talking to two separate people.

    I wanted to give less than 1 star to them but option is not available. This is one of the worst insurance company and customer care is pathetic. They don't know anything except transferring the calls from one person to another. I submitted my claim for Trip interruption in the month of August and have been told that claim will be processed with 10 business days if everything looks good. Now more than 4 months passed and I called them almost 10 times in between and getting the status as claim pending with verification team they will process within 3 days. They wasted my 4 months and still no payment. Today when I called as asked for the time frame, I got the answer that there is no time frame for the verification team to close the claim. THIS IS SCAM! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY BY BUYING INSURANCE FROM THEM.

    I purchased travel insurance from Allianz through Expedia when booking my flight. My car broke down on route to the airport and I missed my flight. 'Section 8' of their policy stated that I was covered for up to £500 under Missed Departure due to car break down. They refused my claim on the basis of their 'Section 9' Delayed Departure caused by me not checking in! This is a nasty cynical company that cherry-pick their terms and conditions to avoid honoring their financial commitments. AVOID BUYING THIS INSURANCE AT ALL COSTS!
