    I was pleased with their efficiency in 1) acknowledging receipt of my claim; and 2) with medical expense reimbursement payment. The only thing I would have appreciated but did not receive even after requesting it would have been a final report on amounts paid and to whom. Otherwise, everything else was very satisfactory. I will definitely use Allianz again.

    I purchased an insurance policy before I traveled overseas. I was concerned after hearing stories of lost luggage, items stolen from hotel rooms and pick pockets and decided to get a policy a few days before we were to travel. Little did I know that my best friend whom I was traveling with would have a major cardiac event the day before our trip was to begin. It took several weeks and a few emails to clarify that it was a medical emergency but I received a full reimbursement of our plane fare. Since we were staying with friends I didn't need to submit hotel expenses so I have no comment on luggage coverage. Just be sure to read the policy and know exactly what is covered and how to properly submit a claim. They are strict in their claim department and rightfully so. I would definitely recommend Allianz and will use them for future travel peace of mind.

    So we had a trip planned to Jost Van Dyke at the end of October. We had booked our flight through Delta and destination was landing in St. Thomas and then ferry to the BVI. Of course with Hurricane Irma, our resort suffered damage which left us without a place to stay. With there being approximately 41 million sq. miles of ocean on the Atlantic side and the Caribbean Islands making up only about 1 million sq. miles AND the eye of a hurricane completely destroys the majority of our destination, we felt compelled to just cancel our plans and seek out other options.

    I filed my reimbursement form and was quickly sent an email requesting 'additional documentation'. I quickly responded with 'turn on the news media'. At that point I figured it would be best to call. After speaking with 'Pueblo'... I was informed that on line item 14 of your policy that natural disasters including hurricanes, floods, fires or earthquakes are excluded from reimbursement. Boy, what an amazing travel insurance policy!! They've insured me that I won't be purchasing it again!!

    Submitted claim online and overall experience was good. Received an additional supporting document request the next day. The list of documents was generic and too general and requires the customer to select what additional documents are being submitted. The list itself was very confusing as some items appeared to apply, but others did not. Had to call to get specifics. Why not define specifics during initial claim submission process and not waste both our time. Excellent customer service though. Very responsive and friendly.

    Nice people on the phone and seemingly competent but our first claim was denied due to lack of documentation even though everything was included. On appeal was paid the maximum for one claimant $350. (I did not realize there was such a low maximum when I bought the coverage. Will be more careful next time.) That amount was more than the trip cost for one of us but less than the two of us paid.

    Phoned and were told we needed to make it clear two people were claiming. We emailed (try number three) and finally got the rest of our claim. Summary - our claim was paid but we are struggling with a cancer diagnosis (the reason for the claim) and having to deal with this three times was not what we needed. Would not recommend Allianz.

    My wife injured her knee so was unable to travel as scheduled. We appreciated the response of Allianz - they gave clear instructions for filing a claim and processed it within a few weeks, delivering a check within 6 weeks of the missed flight. We had considered not getting trip insurance, but this certainly was a real benefit to us. We had non-refundable ticket that could have rescheduled (for a fee), but as she is still recovering, there is a possibility that we would not have been able to fly again before the opportunity to reschedule had passed.

I consider this a significant misrepresentation. The two stars represents the fact that the premium was returned. I expected less.

    My boyfriend and I were going to travel from CA to ME at the end of May 2017 to visit my family he had never met. At the beginning of April 2017, I purchased two round trip tickets through Priceline: CA to ME was on JetBlue and ME to CA was on American Airlines. When I reached the end of the Priceline scheduling process I decided to purchase travel insurance for the tickets. By purchasing the travel insurance I mean I got to the area on the Priceline screen and selected the option/box to purchase the travel insurance; the tickets and the insurance were purchased during the same transaction. At the beginning of May 2017 my mother had an emergency surgery that resulted in the cancellation of the trip.

    I contacted Priceline and Allianz Travel Insurance right away regarding the change in travel plans. Priceline was helpful from the start and provided excellent customer service. Allianz Travel Insurance on the other hand has been TERRIBLE. To this day (9/5/17) I am still attempting to get a full refund of my tickets. From the beginning, Allianz claimed the travel insurance that was purchased did not cover both legs of the trip (due to the cost being too low); instead they claimed the insurance package that was purchased was for a one way ticket therefore the insurance package only covered the flight going to ME. In May and June 2017 I spoke to several Allianz Travel Insurance customer service agents as well as followed up with management (after being told I would receive return calls and didn't).

    I requested/conducted a 3 way call between Priceline and Allianz management in which Priceline confirmed I purchased round trip tickets and explained to the Allianz Travel Insurance staff member that they should uphold their full refund agreement. In addition, Priceline noted at the time of the call other Priceline customers have had problem with Allianz Travel Insurance properly reimbursing travel claims. However, appropriate action has not been taken on the part of Allianz Travel Insurance. Since June 2017 I have submitted a claim for reimbursement and attached several documents through the Allianz Travel Insurance portal to substantiate my claim. My mother's surgeon completed the medical portion of their claim process as well that supported the medical necessity/lack of previous medical hx.

    Yet, on August 24, 2017, I received a notice that I would be reimbursed only part of the money I paid for the trip. Of the $1,375.76 we received a check for $791.16. Allianz Travel Insurance DID NOT includes additional information related to why the rest of the money has not been reimbursed. I will continue to fight this, as I believe Allianz Travel Insurance is taking advantage of me/its customers. I have submitted all the documentation they requested and then some to substantiate the claim. I expect a full refund. Until then, buyer beware!!!

    It was a resolved partially. Since I purchased a layaway plan, the insurance provided to cover my tickets apparently covered only the first payment of my tickets. And when my layaway plan finished, my insurance didn't cover the remainder of my tickets. Doesn't make much sense but it happened. Wish I would have ready policy to policy and called in to make changes. Such a mistake on 2 companies this large should not occured. But it did. And didn't get a full claim for all my tickets. Thousands upon thousands of tickets sold on this site and insurance purchased on many of them and a mistake like this. I own my part due to my lack of reading my policy in detail. And Allianz took care of their part only after I complained about my initial claim payment being wrong. Fix these website problems. This shouldn't have happened in the first place. I will be doing business elsewhere, I should have sold my tickets and made the other 225 back that my insurance didn't "cover".

    Original Review: Aug. 29, 2017

    I purchased 2 2-day passes for hard summer music festival 2017 through Ticketmaster. I selected the option for insurance by Allianz Global Assistance to cover in case something happens. This was all done in one purchase. I picked 2 2 day tickets, and selected the only option for insurance in case of emergencies. At the bottom of my receipt it says my event is covered by Allianz. We were all set, or so we thought. So my fiance became pregnant, which was great news, but the nightmare arrived after our claim was submitted. The process was long, but we got it done. We got the paperwork proving she is pregnant and finished filing our claim. I sent in proof of my purchase of 2 x 2 day tickets, which totals out to 2 Saturday tickets and 2 Sunday tickets. That's a total of 4 tickets!

    My claim comes back approved but it is apparent that they completely ignored my form and what I was claiming. I was approved for 136.36 for my total claim. I spent 391.35 for 2 x 2-day passes. I was told the policy covers each ticket up to 83.01. So if we did basic math, 2 Saturday and 2 Sunday tickets claimed up to the proper maximum amount of 83.01, totals out to 334.04. That is understandable due to the service fees from Ticketmaster not being refundable and I am ok with that. So I called to ask where my actual claim money was (because even after 2 weeks I still did not receive my "check") why I was only getting 136.36. I am supposed to be getting directly debited my claim. And that wasn't even done right. I called to ask where my check was, and they said it should have arrived. I told them since I didn't use it, to cancel the check and directly debit me. Which after 2 weeks still has not happened.

    One thing to mention that is very ill important: they are claiming the policy I purchased through Ticketmaster only covers 2 tickets. I have purchased 2 2 day tickets, which totals out to 4 tickets. I would not have wasted my money on the insurance if I know I wouldn't be fully covered. Today is August 28th, I am still in frustratingly long wait times to get a hold of someone who can do something. After the rep who helped me got a hold of one of the claims adjusters (after 45 minute wait), my claim was finally reopened. And the rep basically said I will get a call tomorrow by the claims adjuster to talk about my claim. I told them the total claim doesn't add up at all, I could have easily sold my tickets through Ticketmaster and received more than what my claim would actually be.

    I will continue to update this review as I get more info, but with my experience so far, Allianz will continue to receive a 1 star only because I could not give less than that. I want my full claim, I mailed in all 4 of my tickets instead of selling them. I wish I would have just sold them. I will not purchase from Allianz until they come to their senses and properly handle my claim and cover both 2 day passes for each ticket day.

    My daughter caught a bad cold which forced me to cancel my business trip. Because she had a cold & cough she just needed rest and liquids; not a doctor's visit. When I informed Allianz of the problem - after waiting through a myriad of voice prompts, they let me know there was nothing they could do to help me because I hadn't taken her to the doctor. If I had taken to the doctor, or since it was sudden, the emergency room and incurred a $100 co-pay, I would have gotten my money back - which is why I bought the travel insurance. In the future, Priceline is great, but don't buy Allianz insurance. Unless you have a major life-threatening event - which you can document - the service is nothing more than a scam.

    My wife and I planned a once in a lifetime trip to Hawaii in August and purchased main leg of our trip from Mainland to Oahu on 4/20/2017. We then decided in July that we wanted to see Maui as well so purchased tickets from Oahu to Maui and back including Allianz insurance around July 8. Our daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer in May, had a mastectomy in late May and started "red devil" chemo at the end of June. At the time of purchase of the Allianz insurance we knew about the cancer diagnosis, but thought that we would still be able to go on the once in a lifetime trip. The strength and commutative effects of the chemo made her very sick and unable to care for herself and 3 young children so we decided to completely cancel the trip.

    I submitted a claim to Allianz that was rejected because they say that this was a pre existing condition that we knew about already. All this is true however we were not sure to the extent to which the chemo would affect her and felt we couldn't leave her and grandkids at this point. If I would have known all of their policies, I would have never purchased the insurance. Also if I would have known their policies that once you file a claim whether it is paid or not, there is no refunds for the insurance premium, I would have just cancelled the insurance to at least claim a bit of our hard earned money back. We will never be able to reschedule this trip due to finances and daughter's illness. I will never purchase insurance from this company again and recommend that anyone else never does either as they will find a way to not pay the claim you are entitled to.

    For a trip to Paris, my wife decided to buy the optional airline trip insurance on the airline website since we were booking the flights several months in advance. The premium was around 5% or so of the cost of the three airline tickets. The flight to Paris went as planned but the last leg of the return flight was cancelled and the subsequent efforts to get us on another flight at another airport were botched by the airline leaving us stranded for the night with no financial assistance from the airline. We incurred additional expenses of nearly $400 to complete our return home. Our initial effort to file a claim on the Allianz website left my wife frustrated as it was a bit confusing to we inexperienced travelers. My wife, in frustration, was willing to eat the additional expense. We let the claim sit for a couple of weeks before I decided to follow through with submitting the claim.

    Once I got into it, filing the claim was fairly simple - with advice from an Allianz customer service rep. Still, both my wife and I were a bit skeptical about the chances of getting reimbursement for the additional expenses but I thought it was worth trying. Allianz kept us informed on the claim's progress and, within a couple of weeks, we received noticed that our claim had been approved for payment. Every penny of the submitted claim was reimbursed to us by direct deposit shortly afterward. Needless to say, Allianz made believers out of a couple of skeptical novice travels.

    This was a clean airline ticket cancellation due to illness. I purchased the insurance on the Aer Lingus website at the time of booking. The Allianz policy requires documentation of payment of ticket either a receipt from airline or credit card statement. I promptly forward the airline emailed that stated on the first line: "This is your passenger itinerary and receipt email" which included the line "Payment VISA." They refused to accept it despite the clear language of their partner's (Aer Lingus) email. They stubbornly refused to accept that companies do not issue receipts for payment when they are not paid. Because of personal information security, I need to redact private information from credit card information before forwarding. Why do this when the requested documentation is obvious.

    The issue of communication is also a problem. Although reaching a person by phone is good, they will not identify themselves other than their first name. I get not giving last names, but they would not give an employee ID. This makes it difficult when referencing prior conversations. When pressed, they will give a phone extension. Interesting, the person is not an examiner but a screener. Nice, but often hard to understand. After receiving a request for information that I had already provided, I contacted customer service. That person told me to ignore the email and that my claim was fine and that I should expect something the next Tuesday.

    Three weeks later I get another email requesting information. When I called to point out the prior conversation, they asked who I talked to. I could only provide a first name (but I did have notes!). I later learned that the screener had all that information in front of them. A little disingenuous, eh? I booked a call back from an examiner at 10 AM the following day but received no call. Someone had called earlier, but I was not aware. This should not absolve them of their 10AM obligation. The claim is still open. I would not consider Allianz again and certainly not for a more complex trip.

    I was very upset that I wasn't going to make my vacation with my family. I've never had pneumonia before so fine time to start now. Getting my money back on the flight was my primary concern once I knew I couldn't fly out. The ease at which I was able to file a claim and effortlessly get it approved astounded me. I was surprised at how quickly it went through and I received my check. Thank you for the hassle free experience at a time when I was frustrated enough.

    I recently flew to Alaska from Central New York. Because of the distance, I decided to purchase travel insurance. Thank goodness I did because I was delayed in Philadelphia due to bad weather in the Midwest. There was no way that I would get to Los Angeles in time to connect with my flight to Anchorage. It was either stay overnight in Philly or LA. I opted to stay in Philly. The airlines wouldn't set me up overnight because the delay was weather-related. I submitted an Allianz Global Assistance Claim to recoup my hotel and meal expenses. The individuals that I spoke with were knowledgeable, very courteous and helpful. I received a check for the full amount of my expenses in less than the 14 days (maximum) that I was told. I want to thank Allianz. I have already purchased trip insurance for my next two trips. It is worth every penny.

    We purchased airline tickets online and had an option to cover our trip in the event we needed to cancel due to illness. I ticked the box yes and paid for the insurance. The only information provided on the airline reservation from Allianz Global is "Thank you for choosing Allianz Global Assistance trip protection. If you make any changes to your travel plans, please contact Allianz Global Assistance to update your coverage".

    As it happened my partner became ill and we needed to cancel both the cruise and the airline. The cruise was easy - Traveler's Insurance processed the $7000 return within 10 days. Allianz Global is another matter - it's been 4 months! I uploaded the requested documents several times on their website, but the documents still showed as being needed. I called repeatedly to no avail. Several times their telephone lines were out of service, and selecting a number option on the phone eventually resulted in directing you to their website (which is never updated).

    After several complaints via email I was advised that the documents were being reviewed and additional information was needed by the doctor. This was provided at least twice. After all is said is done, Allianz Global has informed us that we are not entitled to reimbursement due to a preexisting condition by my partner. Apparently in the 10 minutes one is allotted to reserve an airline ticket, book a seat and purchase insurance one is suppose to be aware of this particular detail. With Traveler's Insurance the preexisting contract language was stated as up front as part of the purchase. This company will spend months of your time and their time to deny a claim! Allianz Global is a disreputable firm. Beware!

    I have purchased several rental car policies and a couple trip policies throughout the years. This was my first claim. My rental agency was Hertz and they were very helpful also. I submitted the claim on my iPhone/iPad through the mobile site and uploaded all necessary docs. The claim was simple and mostly clear. I had a little trouble seeing my uploaded docs at first but found them after a brief search. My claim was processed (and paid) in the appropriate time. Since my quotes were in Australian currency I had to wait until the charge reflected on my credit card to give an accurate amount in USD but that was the only bottleneck.

The receipt shows my first payment and the final payment when I arrived. Very easy to understand. If in doubt could call to verify. So far zip nada nothing for trip interruption.
