Purchased an insurance from Allianz. The trip got canceled. After a month a 5 phone calls they still "reviewing" the documents. It took them a second to charge my credit card and over a month to "review" the supporting docs.

Provided ALL requested information regarding trip cancellation due to family illness. Online claim form was completely filled out including doctor's name and phone number. Then a letter was requested to provide the following: "Proof of your visit or consult with a physician. Documents may include receipts, a visit summary or other documents related to the diagnosis and symptoms requiring treatment (reason for visit)." Other document was provided. Doctor's assistant, RN (nurse) ICU case manager who provided admission date, names and that family member's health was in decline.
They cannot give any other reason due to HIPAA laws. This was not good enough for Allianz. Then they requested letter from doctor as follows: "provide doctor’s letter that includes the diagnosis, date of the visit, the onset date and the doctor’s signature" Diagnosis in violation of HIPAA! Claim is solid and legitimate, in line with terms of contract. And they will not honor a $250 reimbursement for a $44 policy! Outrageous!

Purchased Allianz insurance through Alaska Air. Had to cancel trip due to admission of family member to ICU. Provided all requested and supporting documentation to Allianz, which included a letter from the ICU Case Manager as per hospital policy and at the direction of the patient’s physician. A second request by Allianz asked for a specific diagnosis and symptoms which required admission and physician signature. The letter from the ICU Case Manager contained all required information with the exception of diagnosis, which in violation of HIPAA law and physician signature. Allianz will not process claim without diagnosis or the doctor’s signature.

Long after our 14-day Carnival Cruise was booked and paid for, including Allianz Insurance, I was diagnosed with a serious illness and had to cancel the cruise. With help from our AAA Travel Agent, all of the paperwork was completed and submitted and we received a check for the balance of what we paid for the cruise and what the cruise company refunded shortly thereafter. Allianz is a first class company and we highly recommend insuring your trip with them every time you travel.

This claim was denied based on preexisting conditions. Based on your definition of preexisting conditions and my past surgeries, I will always have preexisting conditions and will therefore be uninsurable. Your definition of preexisting condition should be clearly stated BEFORE the customer takes out and PAYS for the policy since you REFUSE to refund the policy cost after denying the claim. I will never use Allianz again nor will I ever recommend Allianz to family, friends, or associates since I feels some deceptive business practices are utilized in the collection of premiums from unknowing, uninsurable individuals.

I was surprised by the depth of questions I was asked about my family emergency. Doctors names, hospitals, etc... That is really private information that should not be asked. And the amount of forms asked to submit. I was happy that the claim was paid though. My fault for not asking for complete reimbursement. I only asked for the fee of changing flights, but it was actually more than I submitted.

My family and I were stuck for an extra 8 days in the Philippines due to a plane accident in MNL that canceled all flights including ours the night we were supposed to leave. I immediately called Allianz we were informed of the cancellation and I was assured that they would be there for us and reminded me of what our insurance covered. Upon returning, I submitted my claim with all the receipts and information that was asked and in about 2 weeks the money was in our bank account. What a relief! I was so worried about having to spend so much more money that we didn't budget for. It was stressful enough that we had to worry about missing work and the thought of my kids upcoming school year. Allianz took a good portion of that stress away. Thank you.

I was exceptionally happy that I decided to use Allianz Global Assistance USA to insure mine and my husband's anniversary trip. We planned our trip back in early 2018 and I used Allianz to insure both our flight and our theater tickets. We thought the trip was all set, then along came Hurricane Florence and flights were being canceled and rerouted. We were advised by Delta to re-book or cancel our flights. No flights, no theater! Allianz took care of both the cancellation fee with Delta and reimbursed me for the theater tickets. Allianz is well worth the money!!!

My daughter flew to MN to escape the smoke and fires in Washington. I was going to go to WA to celebrate my 70th birthday with my daughter, 14 month granddaughter, her husband; my son, 18 month granddaughter and his wife. I had rented a house on Lake Chelan for three days for this celebration. Because of the smoke, my son and his family went to Hawaii and my daughter and her daughter came to MN on August 13. We would fly to WA together on August 24 for my birthday on August 28.
However, the smoke continued at a hazardous level of over 400 parts per million. There was a level 3 evacuation. We had no choice but to cancel the house and the flights. I had purchased insurance simply because my husband had been recently diagnosed with bladder cancer. He had two surgeries and was in a six week treatment. A lot going on for sure. Alaska canceled each of our flights for $125 each.
My daughter did not have insurance. We had purchased her ticket with miles. My circumstances did not fall under the usual reasons to cancel a flight, but I wrote a similar letter as I have written here. Allianz sent me a check for $125. I have a credit with Alaska to use within a year. All worked out. My daughter and granddaughter stayed safely with me here for five weeks. Thank you for responding and making it easy for the refund. I love Alaska Airlines and now will purchase insurance with Allianz because you never know what might happen.

The process was okay, it just took a long time. Although they said I could complete my claim online, I was unable to because for whatever reason when doing it online it required me to provide every single one of the documents that they have listed - many of which didn't apply to my situation or I didn't even have. Thus, I needed to complete the form they gave me in hard copy and mail that in. Because I mailed it in it took longer to process. It is very deceiving when they state that you can submit online for a quicker turnaround when in fact you can't. That was frustrating. Aside from that, everyone I spoke with was helpful and I did get my claim processed and approved.

Purchased travel insurance back in May for my Business travel for the year at $295. Through my company as I fly 3-4 times per month I needed coverage for delays and any lost luggage. Every time you purchase a flight this option comes up so I finally decided to purchase. Finally when I had 2 bags stolen back in June I needed to file a claim. The first time in 8 years of flying AA. That a bag had been stolen. The process of filing a claim was an absolute nightmare. The app didn't work so I went to the website then I moved to calling and tried many times to get through but was on hold constantly. Eventually I got through and filed the claim.
Over 4 weeks gone and I received a message more information required but didn't state what information. Again I tried calling, on hold many times. I gave up. Eventually I got through and was told the claim had been closed as they do not cover business expenses or items within the luggage and it's in the terms and conditions which I have reviewed and cannot find. In addition they deduct anything you get from the airline in the claim, well the airline is legally obliged to pay more than what they offer in the majority of cases so the insurance is again not worth the paper it is written on and is an incredible scam. I would advise anyone looking for travel insurance to look carefully and really consider not using this company as it's a waste of money in 99% off all cases.

Their website that says the definitions on what they cover doesn't work. They don't value you as a customer and don't listen to what you say. I asked for a callback between 4-5. They called at 10. I was on hold for them over 45 minutes the day before and the operator volume was pretty much off on their end so I couldn't understand them. Long story short I submitted all the paperwork, a letter from my employer and they still denied.

I had to interrupt a hiking trip to the Walker's Haute route because of heat exhaustion, which led to an inability to hike with my hiking group. I traveled home, met with a physician, and submitted all the required paperwork for extra expenses related to early departure, lodging, and cancellation of lodging. I received my reimbursement within a month, with absolutely no issue. The only costs not covered were those that I did not have a receipt for... taxi and small food items. I am very happy with their response and will continue to use Allianz Global Assistance for all my trips.

When our flight was cancelled, due to weather problems, I called Allianz from the airport to determine what our options were. I was told that we would be fully covered for up to $1500 per person (travelling as a couple) for cancelled flight. Fast forward three months later, after hours of phone calls, preparing paperwork, following up on correspondence, etc. only to be told that our claim is ineligible for ridiculous reasons that make no sense whatsoever. This company will go to great lengths to avoid paying legitimate claims. Find another travel insurance provider or be prepared for lots of frustration and extreme disappointment.

We purchased trip insurance for a group-led tour of Glacier-Waterton Parks that the operator cancelled due to the forest fires in Glacier; three days before the trip was to begin. We contacted Allianz, the rep told us what to submit and we started a claim online ($12,000 trip cost) and uploaded all required documents and it takes 10 business days for review. It is now 20 business days since we filed the claim. There have been over a dozen conversations with their representatives and each one made false promises about the claim being settled and we will "get an email" that never comes.
After delaying review repeatedly, they finally requested two more documents and we submitted them within 24 hours, called in and told them they were uploaded and once again they said that it would reset the clock to another 10 business day wait period "for review." We escalated and finally got someone to "expedite" the claim but now it is "48 hours" until we receive... wait for it, not the check, but yet another email. Our friends purchased insurance from another company and they have already received their full reimbursement. The only way to get a straight answer is to escalate the call to a supervisor from the onset. And then call back every day.

I typically never buy insurance but this time I figured I would just in case. I bought concert tickets and the next day found out one of my family members back home was recently booked in for surgery. I called the next day after I bought the tickets to cancel and get my refund since I bought the insurance in case something like this happens.
Not only did they send me on this whole journey to submit a number of documents. They required that I get a note from the doctor of my family member who lives in a different province to state exactly why they had to get surgery. Due to confidential reasons (OBVIOUSLY) the doctor would not write this note. After calling Allianz for the 3rd time and getting a different answer each time, no one on the other end knew what to do but just kept repeating "We need these documents. I don't know what you should do but without this document, we can not send this claim into processing." I asked to speak with someone who could help and their answer was, "I'm the only person you can speak with. There is no one higher up that can tell you what's going on."
Finally I asked the family member of mine to request a doctor's note from her doctor so then I could scan it and send in this document. After weeks of this chase for all the "required documents," I had submitted all documents requested. 3 more weeks go by and I still hear nothing from Allianz. I check online and it finally says my claim is "complete." A few more weeks go by, I still don't receive my refund. I call in again get put on hold for 40 min (AGAIN) and when I finally speak with a representative, this guy could barely speak English and he told me that my claim has been completed and approved and double checked my mailing address then told me my check would be in the mail by the end of the day and that I should receive it in mail in 5-10 business days. Great!
3 more weeks go by. Nothing in my mailbox. I finally call in today go through the whole process of explaining my case. Get put on hold for another 20 min. Then the representative comes back on the line telling me that my claim has now been put BACK to "processing" and has been sent to an auditor. They then requested I give one more business day and I should receive an e-mail tomorrow and a letter from the auditor to let me know their final decision on whether they will refund my money or not. I asked why it was sent to an auditor when weeks ago my status online said complete and the representative told me my check would be on the way. He replies "I got to be honest with you, I have no idea why your claim was just sitting on the desk not being dealt with. But they should e-mail you by tomorrow." WHAT?
So it's been close to 4 months since I've started dealing with Allianz with these concert tickets I didn't even own for more than 24 hours and their answer every time is "I don't know. Is there anything else I can help you with?" NO! There is nothing else you can help me with... You couldn't even help me with my original question! I will NEVER buy insurance from Allianz again. They just scam people for their money and don't ACTUALLY insure what you buy.
