I rarely got travel insurance in the past, I’m so thankful I did for my recent trip which was the first ever I had to cancel due to illness and the covid19 virus. Allianz not only processed my claim quickly but once I received confirmation of approval my full refund was in my bank account same day! I will always purchase travel insurance through Allianz now!

We are a family of 5 and we travel every year. Allianz provides us with great coverage for a great price. We had to change our flight for all 5 of us due to an illness and they reimbursed all our change fees. I highly recommend them to anyone.

I have purchased this product several times in the past for domestic and foreign travel. March our trip to Mexico was delayed due to a mechanical problem with the plane which caused us to miss our connecting flight to Mexico. The airline made accommodations during our delay but there was no way to recover the costs of lodging and car rental in Mexico. I submitted a claim via the website and provided the supporting documentation of our reissued boarding passes showing the delay. The claim was reviewed and processed well ahead of my expectations. I will be purchasing this service again in the future. It was money well spent.

We were delayed on our initial flight from Bellingham to Seattle due to a mechanical issue. Alaska Air ended up shuttling us from Seattle to Portland and flying us out to Kona the next morning. Due to the time we had to arrange our own taxi from Portland International to the hotel, and no restaurants were available at that time. The next morning we purchased breakfast at the airport before our flights. This also meant our first night rental cost for the Kona townhouse we were booked into was forfeited.
Based on our discussions with the Allianz rep I talked to we were under the impression we didn't need to submit receipts and could claim the max $150/person for this delay. This would have covered our costs for this delay. We've received $75/person for the claim which results in our still being out of pocket approx. $225. We've emailed on this twice now and received no reply, so it appears we'll be eating the difference.

We got sick during our trip to Ecuador. The Allianz operators were fantastic about finding us a doctor right away and checking back in with us to make sure we were doing better. We had to miss several days of our trip and rebook lodging. We submitted all of the required paperwork, got a receipt that it was all there and then waited. When we did finally hear back they sent reimbursement for the doctor's visit and medication but nothing for the trip interruption. When we inquire about this we got a response several days later that they didn't have any of our documentation. I have redirected them to the documentation and am still waiting for a response! The trip ended March 8th. It is now April 3rd. The documents were submitted around February 16th!

This company is a complete scam. Wife and I planned a trip to Florida for 10 year anniversary for the end of April. Scheduled it on Feb. 20. Covid was not a pandemic in the United States yet! Thought I was doing the right thing in getting insurance because I have three young kids and you never know what could happen. Well.... Hotel room got canceled in Florida and I call Allianz about refund because of the quarantine (it does say quarantine in bylaws) with Covid. I hear some BS claim that because the WHO called Covid a pandemic on Feb 3rd, Allianz was not liable to refund!!!! America wasn't shut down until Mid March!!!! Don't worry, I am sure this small working class American didn't read everything. I am the dumb middle class guy. Thanks for working me over Allianz!!!! I'm sure you will get bailout money and make money out of this. Thanks for working tirelessly (as your website message says), more like found a loophole to screw over people!!

First of our travel plans were cancelled to see our son graduate from basic training due to the epidemic that’s going on and my claims were denied although this site stated there would make an exception in this instance. I had to call 4 times before I could get the proper information to file a claim. My appeal was denied by the claims escalation examiner John **. They showed no care. Customers purchase insurance to be protected and taken care of not to feel like you left out in the cold and that’s what we felt like happened. We were very disappointed by the actions of this company.

I purchased my ticket with Delta prior to the Covid-19 Pandemic, back in December 2019. I also purchased my travel insurance with Allianz at that time. When the Pandemic hit late January and February, I cancelled my trip. I filed a claim with Allianz due to the Pandemic and the travel restrictions imposed by my state. The customer service representative said Covid-19 restrictions are not covered under the insurance and that I should have read the fine print prior to purchase. I am so angry and frustrated. I did not want to endanger my health or the health of the elderly family members I come in contact with and they would not honor my flight cancellation.

Japanese Cruise Trip March 26-April 13. My wife and I have taken out Allianz insurance for every overseas trip for years. We never made a claim but trusted that if the time ever came to make one we would be covered. At the end of January 2020 my wife was diagnosed with bladder cancer. The trip was cancelled for surgery and treatment. MD Anderson, world renown cancer center, wrote a letter in her behalf to state that she could not travel. No mention of a 'pandemic' was ever stated. The claim was refused due to the pandemic. After much anxiety, stress and frustration we submitted an additional letter from our urologist. When appealed the claim was finally approved. Even the amount of the check was incorrect. What a hardship this was for us during a difficult time. We were very disappointed with Allianz.

Items covered need to be very specifically spelled out. Since Coronavirus was not spelled out our trip was not covered by our insurance. They were very sorry we could not travel but oh well. Thanks a lot. What a waste of money. I definitely would not recommend unless you can specifically list every possible item that can occur. If it is not listed you're not covered. Very much black and white. I have worked with much better organizations during this pandemic that are understanding and going the extra mile for customers. This is not one of those types of organizations. They got your money. That is all they care about.

Just got off the phone with Allianz after learning that a college graduation in Boston scheduled for May 10th has been cancelled. Called to make a claim regarding 2 roundtrip tickets from San Diego to Boston. Was told in no uncertain terms that any cancellations attributed to Covid-19 are not recognized for reimbursement.

We are very pleased with the timing of the dispensing of the check mailed to us after filing our claim. This was done in a very short turn around time. What was very frustrating was the initial online process for filing the claim as the web site for doing so was somewhat confusing and required connecting with a rep to lead us through the process. The required documents that were scanned in by us took initially; however, when we retrieved the form the doctor's excuse was not with the copy of the trip itinerary. Eventually, after several tries, we were able to scan in the required doctor's excuse. After working with the rep, Orlando, who was extremely helpful, although it was a little difficult to understand him because of his Spanish accent, was a Godsend. Without his assistance we could have never managed the confusing web site.
We followed up this phone call with two additional phone calls to two different reps who could not validate that the copies of the required documents had arrived and were acceptable. The last rep that I talked with said that there would be a return phone call in regard to this; however, it was never received. The end result with the full payment of the air fare was received in a very timely manner. This is the only time that we have ever purchased travel insurance and the only time that we needed it. In the future we will definitely do this.

Don't advertise as something that's actually useful when the requirements to get your money back are insane. Will NEVER buy this again. And screw you guys for taking my money.

When I filed my claim, I was not able to add a second event during the same trip. I tried to contact you by phone, but was unable to get through (understandably in view of the pandemic). So I added a second set of data and a note to the claim, but they appear to have not been read. My total claim was for $80.38 + $71.08 = $151.46. I received a check for the $80.38, but not for the $71.08.

There must be inconsistencies with claims managers and the receipt of someone else's info could have been a HIPPA violation. Consistency and accuracy focus may be needed.

When calling, had difficulty getting a representative to ask questions about filing a claim. Got disconnected once. It would have been helpful if on the website under claims there was a form to print or email to a doctor for the medical documentation required. If there is no form, it would be helpful to list on the website what essential items needed to be included by a doctor when writing a letter for canceling travel due to medical reasons. After the claim was filed, the website feature of checking on the status of a claim did not work. The final result of getting a check for reimbursement of travel expense did only take 13 business days which was good. Just had no idea of the status of the claim until the check arrived.

After battling with the supplier of a private yacht charter all last week-I went into AgentMax to try to modify the dates of my client's trip the day before they were due to leave. This was on Saturday-March 21st. Previous to March 21st-I spent 2 or 3 days attempting to call in but kept getting disconnected after being on hold for 30(ish) minutes. The Agent Max online system did not allow me to modify but told me to call the Agent phone number. When I called-it said they were closed. I tried to call the regular customer service line but was directed to a voice mail system. I left a message. There was no email address provided as to where I should contact. I went ahead and sent an email to the general customer service email provided at the bottom of the Agent Max website.
On Monday morning-March 23rd-I called and was told I could not modify the policy because it was past the start date. I was then told that sales support could probably do this. They gave me an email address. I sent an email explaining everything I had gone through. As of this morning-March 24th-I have not even received an automated message stating this request to change has even been received. AT MINIMUM....Allianz should provide the correct email address to address concerns and issues when the "office is closed" and not require yet another attempt to call in.
While I understand we are all in unprecedented times-it is all the more reason to provide some kind of automated messaging. I still DON'T KNOW if my client request to modify the dates has been "accepted." I am APPALLED and will make certain that as many travel agents know as possible. As I mentioned on the phone-as a collective industry-we all run the risk of going out of business. Unfortunately-I will not be as fortunate for a government bail out as Allianz. The least Allianz could do is provide some kind of assistance.
