    For many years I've been using travel / medical insurance administered by Allianz every time I take a trip. I Submitted my a travel / medical claim at the beginning of April 2018. As of September 4th, (4 months later), the travel portion of the claim has still not been processed. Called Allianz service desk every 2 weeks for the last couple of months, probably 12 calls, and each time was assured that the claim would be processed within 5 to 10 business days, and that I would get a call back from the service desk supervisor in the same time frame. I never did get a call back and the claim has still not been processed. Unable to contact the Toronto office, message is always "all our operators are busy - please call back later".

    Allianz is unwilling to communicate by email and the answers from the service desk are different each time, e.g. "the claim is with the examiner", "someone will call back", "we are very busy" etc. On none of these calls was there any indication that I was missing any documentation or that there was a problem with the claim submission. 4 months, (and counting), wait time for a small claim to get processed is far too long and I would recommend that if you are considering travel / medical insurance that you don't choose Allianz.

    I'll never buy travel insurance again and nothing from Allianz. I purchased trip insurance from them. Lost my job, cancelled the trip, and then the run around started. I've supplied all the documentation that they require and every single time they come back and ask for something different. Each time they ask you for more documents, they add another 10 business days to the possible settlement date. The policy with Allianz is delay, delay, deny. They make their money by investing your money so the more time they keep your money, the more they make. They are incredible thieves and not to be trusted at all.

    I bought Allianz Travel Insurance while booking tickets from Chicago to NYC, from Delta airlines website. The flight, however, got canceled due to a flash flood warning. I, therefore, contacted the Allianz customer care for a claim. I was very clearly directed about my next steps by a friendly representative. Delta Airlines rebooked my flight to a flight that departs next day. All my expenses related to living, transportation and food that I had to bear for spending one more day in Chicago, were refunded by Allianz within a week of my flight.

    I purchased tickets through Ticketmaster and it gave me the option to purchase ticket insurance. I went ahead and made the additional purchase because the concert was going to be in Nashville (6 hours from me) and a couple of months in the future. A week before we were to leave, my father got sick and had to be admitted to the hospital. I wasn't going to be able to attend because this was going to be a family trip and he couldn't travel and he was close to dying so we needed to be close at hand until his health was better. I was concerned about losing almost $150 on tickets but couldn't see a way to make the concert. I went online and tried to file a claim with Allianz, but received an error message when I tried to complete the application. I then tried on my home computer and it also didn't work.

    I contacted Allianz customer service and the lady emailed me the claim forms. By this time, I was more concerned because the concert was in a few days and I wasn't sure if it was too late. I filled out the forms and scanned and emailed them in. Another concern I had was the only real proof that I had concerning his hospital stay was the top copy of his hospital discharge papers which described his problems and it had his doctor's phone numbers and it was just a JPEG picture that I took. The weekend went by after I sent everything in and I hadn't heard from Allianz (I was expecting the worse and at least a response that I required further proof). Then a few more days went by and then I received a check in the mail for the full amount on my tickets.

    When dealing with insurance issues such as this (I recently used insurance on an online purchase on an item that didn't work as expected and I received the "run around") I expected the worse. I was more so apprehensive when I hadn't heard from Allianz for a few days but I was more than pleasantly surprised at how easy this process was (albeit except the online claim process). I plan to use Allianz again for all my ticket purchases in the future. I didn't rate "5 stars" simply because the online claim didn't work and it didn't indicate there was a problem. This part needs to be reviewed and fixed as required.

    I am so disappointed. Purchased flight insurance from Allianz through JetBlue. Immediate family member passed away, had to change flight. Sent all the documentation I was asked for. Still no repayment, +30 days. What is the point of insurance? Not only are we grieving our loved one but are now fighting to get insurance to pay for LITERALLY what we insured for. How can they get away with this? Customer service keeps apologizing and said they will "move the claim to the front of the queue for review". Absolute baloney.

    My VISA card carried their travel insurance. When Green Motion screwed me over in Iceland (demanding cdn $3600+ for a minor paint chip) I was assured VISA insurance would settle it. I have dealt with Allianz (who cover VISA) for 2 months now and they demand a piece of paper that Green Motion won't issue. Corporate criminals: Allianz, VISA, Green Motion Car rental. Needless to say that all documentation was provided: rental agreement, (ridiculous) cost estimate by a body shop, final bill from Green Motion. Allianz wants a CLOSED Rental Agreement.

    We filed a claim for stolen luggage the first week in June 2018. We are still waiting. Our rental car was broken into and luggage stolen while in Europe. I check every few days and am told to be patient. We filed the police report and list of items day we got back. Every time I call I feel as I am getting the runaround. We were even questioned on if the incident really occurred. We have picture documentation of the broken car window and an official police report filled in Italian. What could possibly be the issue? We were violated when our stuff was stolen and now by this company. We just want what we paid for and some closure to this situation. Feeling like I may never get it. The rental car company had a new car for us in an hour, I know it can be done better than this.

    Will never use again - do NOT TRUST - could not use the online portal despite weeks of attempts. My fear is - what if this was a real emergency (not a medical claim)? What if I needed to be taken to a hospital and have the insurance operate straight away? I do not trust them. My experience in more detail: I paid for the policy through Teachers Health. I then got my certificate of insurance from Allianz Global. After some emergency dental treatment in Thailand, tried the ALLIANZ online claim portal. It didn't work on any of my devices, Thought it might be my iPad, so I tried my laptop (still no luck). Registered my policy and let me proceed through stages: 1: Your details 2: Trip Details 3: WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO SELECT IN THE DROPDOWN MENU.

    Sent about 10 emails, only 2 replied to. Got home and have been trying on my desktop (with different browsers etc) many, many times. Called them, in the morning and was advised by Merinda (who was very nice and apologetic) that her superior, John ** - told her the 'system was down' and they had only been alerted to this at that point (even though I have been trying for weeks). This is when I really realized that they were giving me the runaround. A huge company like this has only been alerted to the portal not working that day? B.S. I was sent a 9 page claim form to fill out. That's all well and good - I understand insurance companies need to prove the legitimacy of claims. I just want to know why my policy number would not work online. I was told to try again later that afternoon. Which I did, and it still didn't let me pass stage 3 on the portal.

    I called up and once again explained my situation. (I wish I had got the rep's name - I think it was Sean? He was very confident and well versed in the content of my claim but could not actually give me reasons why the portal was not working for me.) I was told by the representative that he wasn't in I.T. so he didn't know why it was working. I asked if there were many policies that couldn't get past the third question and he stated that there are just some numbers that the 'system doesn't like'. He explained more about the policy claim - which was good but then - get this - he told me the IT guy was listening and came to whisper in his ear that the portal was now fixed, and that I should try, I did - and it didn't work. Tried again this morning - and decided that I will let other people know about this dubious practice of not allowing some claims to work on the portal.

Online filing was fairly easy and convenient (thank you!), BUT a tiny bit confusing since I was dealing with a travel delay for one portion of my travel and trip interruption due to illness and medical expense for a different segment.

    I had a bag of new clothing stolen from my home and I made a claim on my Visa insurance because it was less than 90 days. Allianz has asked me to jump through unreasonable hoops to make this claim. First insisting I get a sworn affidavit saying that I do not have homeowners or rental insurance (cost: $35) and then insisting that I get paper copy of the police report sent to them (two trips to the police station and a cost of $55). Quite unreasonable for a $350 claim. This company is getting more and more corrupt, creating many barriers so that consumers aren’t actually protected by their supposed policy.

But it's okay I guess.

    We purchased travel insurance for a recent trip to Scotland. The airlines cancelled our outgoing flight, delaying our arrival by more than 24 hours, thus missing our first night's stay at the hotel. The entire trip was pre-paid. When I filed a claim with all the documentation, Allianz said they don't cover pre-paid items. There is nothing in the booklet that stated this. The Customer Service rep was double talking me. And tried to twist the words of what the coverage was...again, there is nothing that states pre-paid items are not covered. Why would I have purchased trip insurance on a pre-paid trip? Nothing stated they did not cover such items. I will never purchase from this group again. Frustrating and I feel that we were hoodwinked.

    In early May, we booked a trip on American Airlines to Arizona to meet family and friends from Chicago for a week in Sedona at the end of July. From there we were going to Chicago with them and flying back to Florida in August. The trip was booked as 3 separate one-way flights, fortunately all insured with Allianz. In late May, my husband went to the emergency room with what has turned out to be the start of a summer filled with doctor and hospital visits while they diagnose his ongoing kidney problems and decide what needs to be done. As a result, his doctor told us he should not travel and we canceled all 3 flights. I filed claims online, scanned and submitted the e-tickets online, called Allianz to find out what additional documentation would be needed, and got a letter from the doctor, which I also scanned and submitted online.

    All the claims were reviewed and have now been paid. The insurance saved us close to $1000 in canceled airfares and everything was handled in a timely fashion. The list of necessary documentation on the website is very extensive, so I suggest calling the very helpful customer service people to find out what they need for a given situation. My only negative comment is that on all three submissions, I asked for direct deposit of the refunds, but for two, I was sent checks instead. The third actually was made via direct deposit. I have no idea why and decided since we received the refunds, it wasn't worth calling about. We're seniors and things happen, so we have been using trip insurance from Allianz for several years when booking flights and will definitely be using it in the future.

Everything went fine in Europe, but when I returned to the USA, the Philadelphia airport shut down for weather leaving me unable to complete the last leg of my trip back to my home in Nashville. Because the airport was completely shut down, there were very few hotel rooms available. The only room I could find was $400. The airline was not responsible since weather was the cause. Because I had been traveling for 21 hours and didn't want to spend the night in the airport I booked the hotel.

When I called the first gentleman was nice but insisted that I had to have a doctors note. The oncologist knew nothing about my trip anyway.

    I asked to speak to the supervisor and was transferred to a very nice man who listened to my story and talked with his manager. When he came back on the phone he said they would accept the current documentation and would send me the refund. Right now my I cannot remember the supervisors name but he was a very kind man and wished me luck in my course of treatment. I hope he is rewarded in some way and knows how greatly I appreciate him taking the burden away from me and easing my stress levels.

    In these days of overcrowded skies, travel insurance is a must. My husband and myself missed our connecting flight home due to airline delays. The airline rebooked us for another flight the following day and seemed amused by our request for food and lodging for the night. “Not their responsibility” was the party line. We ended up trying to find our way to a halfway decent hotel in a city unknown to us. We did succeed, though at a cost that practically exceeded the cost of our airline tickets. Happily, we were reimbursed for all our out-of-pocket costs and in a very timely manner. I would never travel without insurance now!

We saved our hard earned money to take a trip and now we cannot go because of your discriminatory practices.

The claim was filed due to him being HOSPITALIZED. A person cannot travel if they are hospitalized and not released for travel.

    Attn: Customer Relations Department, Allanz CEO's, etc. Re: Additional Feedback for Allianz. I purchased this travel insurance to cover emergency situations and potential changes in travel. I was coming home from my husband's surgery before I purchased my plane ticket. I was exhausted and overlooked the date on the ticket, quickly realizing my error. I felt relief that I'd bought travel insurance through Allianz, because there was no way I could fly less than a week after my husband's surgery. He would be bedridden for 2 weeks! I quickly reassured myself that there would be no problem, because the travel insurance covers situations like this --- especially individuals in medically complex situations.

    However, this was not the case. Allianz denied my claim almost a month later, due to a "preexisting" clause. Because my husband was sick BEFORE I purchased the ticket, I would receive no benefits. I cannot imagine how many people are being taken advantage by your company - especially elderly individuals too tired and overwhelmed to complain. It is unethical and sickening that insurance companies, like Allianz, make money by playing between the fine lines of policymaking, instead of helping normal, average people recover their expenses in medically complex situations.

    To say the least, I will never buy travel insurance through Allianz in the future, and if there are any means to voice my complaints to the public (which I am the type of person to RARELY complain -- have been known to eat an alternate meal, due to waitress' error, without complaint - kind of person). I will complain about Allianz and this situation. So sad.

He proceeded to tell me that Mondays don’t count. However he did tell that the claim was reviewed on July 28, which is a Saturday. But under the same breath said they don’t work weekends. What? I was told my client is in the final process overview which I don’t know what that means and I will get a response by the end of the week or early next week.

It was nice that I didn't have to wait on hold at all. A representative called the next day just to follow up and make sure everything was OK.

    We were reimbursed for 100% of the expense. I was able to file my claim at home from my computer, and received approval within ten days. A check came in the mail the next week. My only suggestion would be that Allianz consider covering expenses up front. We paid the bill ourselves and were then reimbursed later.

    Allianz did a just superb job on this claim. I've started buying travel insurance for most of our trips, but we've never had to use it. About a week after we bought the tickets, my son took a bad step on the stairs, and after our family PT looked at it, she recommended X-rays. The X-rays came back without breaks, but "abnormal". So they did an MRI, and he'd damaged the cartilage on his Talus (never heard of it before) - so, surgery.

    I looked up my Allianz policy, filled in the website form, sent in the documents they asked for, and waited. Contacted them once to figure out who contacts the airline, and the rep. was very polite and helpful. A week later and our refund was on the way. Just a helpful, pleasant experience from Allianz, and we really appreciate it!

    Very fast processing of my trip cancellation claim. I was "summoned" to a meeting which forced me to cancel my trip to California. I was issued and answer and check within about 48 hours of filing. This is not one of the standard cancellation reasons, but my claim was reviewed and still accepted. Thank you.

    I had to cancel a trip to visit my daughter's family due to my mother's illness. I contacted Allianz and explained the situation to them. The agent I spoke with helped me file a claim and gave me a list of information I would need to send with the claim. Within a week or so, I received an email from Allianz stating that my claim had been approved and that a check would be mailed to me for the cost of the canceled ticket. I received the check about a week later. Having travel insurance with Allianz is certainly worth the small cost.

    I guess I’m surprised that there was a $200 limit on my insurance. I thought my policy covered all expenses in case of changes in travel. My fault for not reading fine print but very disappointed. I will not buy insurance again.

However the claims process seemed to be more complicated than it needed to be because of the differences in the way they were handled.
