Unbelievably good experience. Very easy to file claim, no wait time for a response, very fast resolution to claim. Very, very fair settlement. Way better than I could imagine. Everyone told me I didn't need insurance. What a great experience. Not happy with the way American Airlines dealt with me initially, but Allianz was incredible. Thank you very much.

Due to weather we were not able to land at our original destination, and ended up in a city 200 miles away, we rented a hotel room overnight, had dinner and were able to fly to our final destination the next day.

I always use Allianz Global when I travel and I recommend the company to my family and friends all of the time.

I am very disappointed to see that you have only sent me a check for $300. For this disruption, I lost $1500 and I have sent you details of all the expenses. Furthermore and apart from this $1500 I had to visit Canada again (because I missed my previous appointment) and the expenses were more than $3000. So in total, I lost $4500 and I got only $300 as claim back. This is very disheartening to see this from a very reputed company like yours and I request you to please reconsider my claims.

After a recent trip interruption I was worried that the process for filing a claim would be difficult and complicated. I assumed that the Allianz would make me jump through all kinds of hoops and red tape to get my claim processed.

The documentation they requested was reasonable and easy to pull together, and I didn't get any push back at all. Customer service answered my questions quickly and accurately.

I purchased insurance that clearly states for cancellation of flight and it didn’t specify how it was cancelled so I wasted my money on insurance with false information on refunds. Then you can’t even call Neisse. The automated system forces you to go to their website and if you try to speak to a person you’re on infinite hold and no one ever picks up the phone. Everything is done so you’re forced to email them only.

Our plane was cancelled due to storms in the Northeast. We couldn't get home for two days. Thankfully we had taken out trip insurance. The two extra days of expenses were fully covered by Allianz- hotels and rental cars in two different places. Allianz was easy to contact by phone and the process was explained to me, as well as the policy number, which I had lost. I submitted my story and receipts for all my expenses and 10 days later I received a check for the amount of all my receipts. It was also easy to look up the claim online and see where we were in the process. Considering that it was spring break in Florida and we had to book a hotel on one day's notice, we didn't get a cheap room, but it was covered. Thank you Allianz! I have already booked another flight and have taken out the same insurance... just in case. I couldn't have been happier with this company.

We had a 3 day delay caused in part by a snowstorm that involved a cancellation and rerouted booking to an alternate destination that was also subsequently cancelled.

On our recent trip to Hawaii, we received notice that my husband's mother had suddenly fallen ill. The next day, we were contacted again and told that things had gone from bad to worse and that she was not expected to last more than 48 hours. We made the necessary arrangements and arrived home about midnight and were able to check in on her. We spent the next 2 days with her before she passed away. Allianz reimbursed us for the balance of our rental and the additional costs to change our airline tickets. They were fair and fast with the claim. The filing process was easy & self explanatory and we were able to upload receipts easily to the website. I've purchased Allianz travel insurance for years and never needed to make a claim, but it's good to know when you need to, they are fast, reliable and easy to deal with.

I visited the Bahamas with my family. However, due to the Winter storm “Grayson”, I could not return to JFK and I had to extend our stay for 5 days. In the case of flight cancellation caused by the weather, airline companies cover only a flight change, and accommodation expenses and meal fee will be borne by ourselves. I happened to assume an injury abroad and had travel insurance, so I was able to cover almost all my five-day stay. Especially in the winter, travel insurance is essential as there are many flight cancellations caused by the weather. Allianz 's claim was very easy and payment processing was so quick. Also, it was good to be able to check the status of the process online.

I bought the travel insurance when I purchased airline tickets for my brother and his wife, but hoped it wouldn't be needed. Glad I did - brother's wife had an accident requiring hospitalization followed by bedrest at home. Allianz came through with the refund exactly as advertised. RECOMMENDATION: When the person who purchases the tickets is not the traveler, please allow the actual purchaser to file the claim for the refund. I purchased the tickets for my brother and his wife using my credit card, but the refund went to my brother. He sent me a check.

I had to cancel a trip because my wife got sick. Filing a claim was a hassle. I copied my policy number directly from an email that had a link to file a claim. I used that link and posted my policy number. I get a message "Policy not found" or something like that. I use their tools to search and finally I am able to bring up my policy and file a claim. I bought my ticket with miles and a small amount of cash. You have to state what you are asking for, but you pull it from a drop-down menu. Re-instatement of miles isn't one of the options. They are all related to money. So I choose the appropriate one to get my five dollars and sixty cents back and leave a comment that I am looking to have my points reinstated.
Some time later I get an email with the subject "Your Allianz Global Assistance Claim Number: (My claim number). In the body of the email is their logo and "Thanks for choosing Allianz Global Assistance. Here's your important claim information." Then nothing. I assumed it was their way of telling me that I was getting NOTHING back, but several days later $5.60 showed up in my checking account. Nothing in my frequent flyer miles. It cost me about $18.00 to get $5.60 back. What makes it worse is the lack of information about their decision. I won't do this again.

I called in to report my flight delay that would cause me to leave Palm Springs the next day, and see if I would be covered for a hotel room. The person on the phone told me this would qualify as a "trip interruption" and I would be eligible for up to $460 in reimbursement for a hotel, per my policy. There were very few rooms in Palm Springs but I could get one at the hotel I had been staying in for a conference, that was very close to the airport, for $465. That was way more than I wanted to spend but I thought I would just do that since it was convenient and I thought I would be getting almost all of it back anyway.
Then when I got home and filled out the claim paperwork, I was told this was a "delay" and not an interruption, so I only received $200 of the $465 back. If I had been told from the beginning my limit was $200 for a delay, rather than $460 for an interruption, I would have sought out a hotel further away from the airport that was maybe less convenient, but still in the price range for what I would be reimbursed for a delay. I wish the Allianz agent had given me the correct information to start with. He was very nice but still, I am out $265 and not very happy about that.
