It's a little bit difficult to just file through website itself. The website show errors. However, when I started my claim through customer service it went well. The lady is friendly and tell me exactly the documents I need to provide.

This was my second time purchasing Allianz travel insurance, and the first time I actually had to use it. I got sick in Barcelona and needed to see a doctor. I called Allianz (who accepted the charges of my international call according to the automated voice answering service) to find out what I needed to do in order to be covered. A helpful and friendly representative explained what I needed to do in order to successfully file a claim. After I came back from my trip, I filled out my claim online and attached the supporting documents. Within 10 days, I saw the funds being depositing into my bank account. I'll definitely be doing this again for my next trip!

In July 2017, our son fell and broke his arm in Marseille, France. The break required surgery and an overnight stay in a French hospital. We contacted Allianz upon returning to the US, but had no bill from France to file a claim. Six months later we received a bill, filed a claim and, as promised, received notification within 10 days that our claim had been processed, approved, and that a check was on its way for the full amount of the bill. With this kind of customer service, I would not hesitate to use them again.

I purchased two sets of tickets to a concert in Las Vegas. One of the pairs of tickets were for friends. After purchasing the tickets, my friend learned that he was being laid off from his position.

We purchased the Annual Basic Plan at a cost of around $250. During our recent trip to Tahiti, we were forced to use the plan due to my wife's severe sciatica which rendered her incapable of movement or self-care. On the positive side, the Plan is cheap. On the negative side, the assistance we received was consistently late, ineffective, and poorly delivered. To start, it was impossible to reach Allianz by telephone from our cruise ship... We were kept on an endless hold. Next, it took Allianz two days to get things moving, all the while my wife was in pain in a primitive clinic on a remote island. Throughout the process, it was like dealing with the worst government bureaucracy. The medical department did not talk to the customer service department which meant that the customer service department was consistently 12-24 hours behind things.
In the end, I just started calling the medical department directly with the doctor in charge (but this was only workable because the doctor was willing to spend the time...most won't). I learned from the local hospital much more than I ever did from Allianz's customer service. For instance, we were kept on hold about a medical evacuation to the main island until about an hour before the evacuation, even though it was clear that the local provider was fully aware of the time.
Each time I called Allianz, I had to speak to a different person and inevitably they had no idea what was actually happening. Their case notes seemed to be completely disorganized. The execution in terms of arranging transport was poor due partly I think to internal bureaucracy and partly to the fact that they just want to save money. Multiple times I had to intervene with the travel arrangements to fix errors that Allianz had made. For instance, my wife was only able to travel with a reclining seat to prevent her bone spur from impinging on her nerve. This was made clear to Allianz multiple times. Then on our flight from LAX to Houston, we were initially in non-reclining business class seats. This just shows a lack of attention and care for customers in distress.
Be aware that the Basic Plan only covers the cost of evacuation by commercial aircraft in a normal business class seat. Even though Allianz and other insurers advertise coverages of $100,000 or above for this feature, it does not include any kind of air ambulance or stretcher flight. I think it's misleading to advertise such high maximums: When would you ever spend $100,000 on a purely commercial flight? Going forward, we're only going to take insurance that covers medical evacuation by whatever means are necessary. God forbid one of us had a stroke or heart attack... Allianz would have left us to rot in a clinic in Tahiti.

I purchased airline insurance for a trip to visit family. The day before I was scheduled to depart my sister became very ill, and I had to take care of her and get her to a doctor. Thankfully, I had purchased the Allianz insurance with my American Airlines ticket.

My husband and I bought insurance for a trip to Vancouver in February 17, 2017. After buying the ticket, my husband saw our family doctor for shortness of breath and was referred to his heart specialist. After tests results came in May, he was diagnosed with blockages and scheduled for heart procedure on June 8th... He was advised by cardiologist not to travel. We cancelled the ticket and asked for a refund. We got direction to a website and proceed to follow a long process. We filled out forms with provided medical reports from the cardiologist and our family doctor paying additional dollars for each doctor's letter. December 2017, the insurance advised that they determined it was a pre-existing condition. We have concluded that travel insurance which cost $75 plus $70 for doctor fees was of no use for us. Most health issues for seniors are pre-existing and should not be sold unless the air travel goes wrong. Usually that can be covered by the airlines.

I called Allianz when I started to realize how bad the weather situation was, and I was able to speak to a live person about what my policy covered and what my options were. It was straight to the point and so helpful in helping me determine what my options were. I was then worried that Allianz would not put my safety first, but it did, and that enabled me to make it home with as minimal stress as possible when enduring a three day trip delay and cancellation. When I submitted my claim, I also called Allianz and spoke to an agent to assist me in how to make my claim and I received helpful and instructive answers provided to me in a patient and professional way. Mostly, I am glad that Allianz lived up to its end of this policy without a fight and argument as I have encountered with other insurance companies. As a result, I will probably always purchase Allianz trip insurance. Thank you.

The filing process is cumbersome and I found it to be quite confusing. I logged onto the website and attempted to file a claim. I had multiple losses so it was confusing to understand what receipts or documentation they needed for the claim and if you upload for one category, did it get counted for the other categories. Ultimately, I had to upload duplicate documents to get them to process my claim... and it finally was approved. Lastly, they should have an automatic amount approved for meals because who keeps those receipts??

I had a small travel insurance claim due to inclement weather that shut down most of the airport resulting in a delay of more than 12 hours. I was happy with the result, as I imagine most people are if their claim is approved. My only feedback is that after you submit the required documents online, there is no confirmation email or anything that shows the documents are received. This caused some confusion after I uploaded the documents online then went back on a few days later to check but it was not clear if more information was needed from me, or if what I had provided was sufficient. I ended up loading a document for each doc type, even when there wasn’t one, such as a police report (for that I uploaded a doc that said “none). Overall I was happy with the process, and my claim was paid timely after it was approved, but improvement in the online process would be nice.

I do not normally buy insurance since my favorite airline is so reliable and helpful. I was flying a different carrier this time so I decided to purchase the insurance when purchasing the tickets. I am so thankful I did. This carrier ended up bumping my son and I off the flight home. It was an international flight which resulted in over a 29 hour delay to our trip before a flight home was arranged. Since they mixed up our bags and some flew ahead of us I had to buy some fresh items. I didn't even think of my insurance at the time, but remembered it when we came home. I contacted Allianz and was pleasantly surprised that my additional expenses during those 30 hours would be covered. The online claim system made it easy to submit the documentation.

Because of the fires in Southern California, we had to curtail our vacation and return home 5 days early, at an additional cost of almost 1000 for me and my husband. I applied for my travel protection benefits on my policy on Jan 4, and on Jan 17 I already received the money that I spent extra. The proof was straightforward (the modified itinerary, with the attached costs), but what impressed me was that although we had separate policies (for me and my husband), they handled the claim for him as well, based on my request in the commentary to my claim (of course, I provided the number, etc), but I did not have to start a new claim.
That was appreciated, because it cut down on hierocracy. It goes to show you that you can never be too careful... travel insurance proved essential in recouping the costs that we had to incur for no fault of our own and Allianz proved to be a serious and forthcoming company. Did not give us the runaround, did not request impossible to provide proofs, etc. Thank you, Allianz!

Purchased travel protection for airfare for the winter holidays; traveled with my wife and two toddler children to see family in Alaska. And 3 hours prior to my first return flight, received notice that last flight was already cancelled. Called airline on number provided to reschedule and got call back while boarding first flight. Had to return home for military service, and tried multiple times to reschedule. Earliest airline could get me home was 48 hours later.
Called Allianz to see what assistance they could provide. However, the representative stated that the only way to know is to pay for a hotel or a car rental and apply for a claim, and MAYBE it MIGHT be covered. Not an ideal response for trying to plan, while traveling with little children for over 20 hours already. I rented a car and returned home and applied for a claim. I was reimbursed for the all the additional costs incurred, which is GREAT! I recommend providing empathetic customer service during stressful situations to help customers make the best informed decisions as possible, rather than vague and unhelpful maybes.
