The company spent 14 days trying to decide to reject my claim as 'work requirements' is not covered. This is a multi-layered issue. It's not simply that I have to work. The person who was covering my duties contracted coronavirus and we have been exposed.

I had the worst experience with Allianz Global Assistance Travel Medical Insurance. I have been purchasing insurance with them for several years for at least three or four travels per year and one time when I really needed medical assistance they denied my claim. The decision they initially made never got into my mail and I almost missed the appeal. I was able to send the appeal in the end and they sent a denial letter that I received opened in the mail (it never happened before so I really don't think the deliverer was at fault). The reasons they stated in the denial had nothing to do with the what actually happened and what I described in the original claim and appeal. Don't purchase insurance with them - it's a waste of time and money and worst customer service if you really need medical assistance while on your trip and submit a claim.

At 1:03 p.m. (CST) on 3/17/2020, I spent 54 minutes on hold to get some information on a policy and possibly purchase coverage. The irresponsible customer service representative answered with "Hello my name is Jennifer, welcome to Allianz Global Assistance, who do I have the pleasure in speaking with?" I proceeded to give my name and was interrupted with the same repeating question, and then interrupted again before being hung up on. She was pretending to be an AI voice as a joke, but failed due to not being able to contain her giggle after I gave her my name. Also I could clearly hear her coworkers in back talking and laughing. She failed at doing her job and wanted to play a practical joke at my expense and time. I don't think your customer service representatives should be playing games during times like this. Try and do a better job managing your employees.

Purchased Allianz Travel Insurance back in July 2019 for our Boston-Madrid trip (Mar 13-Mar 20, 2020) not expecting that the world would be in a global pandemic due to the coronavirus. We decided to try to cancel the trip the Monday before we were supposed to go, due to Spain instituting a lockdown and anticipating that America would soon follow. We called Allianz, and was told basically that Coronavirus was not a reason to cancel the trip, but we could try to file the claim and expect an email in reply with the follow up instructions. We tried to file three claims to get the process going, and did not receive ANY emails with the follow up instructions. America soon instituted a travel ban that would have made it impossible for us to return home. Apparently none of this is good enough reason for Allianz to issue refunds, despite the fact that this is through no fault of our own.

It was unfortunate my husband and I needed to spend the Christmas holiday apart due to his 94 year old mother's illness and we would not be able to spend time all together as a family. We knew this could be a possibility and obtained insurance just in case. Never having used insurance before we didn’t know if it would help in our situation. After following clear instructions online and uploading documents we were approved to get our refund of flight fare for additional fares and changes in flights purchased. I am so very impressed with this company and will be buying insurance in the future.

I recently booked a trip to Japan with one of my friends. Long story short we had to cancel due to preexisting health conditions and the coronavirus outbreak. They did not refund me a cent, and said that there were exclusions in the travel coverage. One of which being epidemics, even though I had a doctor's note prohibiting me from travel. They are trying to save their own from losing an insane amount of money. However the financial deficit was much greater on my end. I had worked all year to save up for this trip, and now to throw $1,334 away without any real reason. Just another example of greedy corporation doing whatever they can to make more money. I'm so glad this two trillion dollar company did not have to reimburse an 18 year old her flight to Japan. Do NOT buy their travel insurance, it's not worth it and they will scam you. It's better to deal with the airline directly.

We obtained Allianz insurance for our airline tickets for a trip. We cancelled a trip for medical reasons. Allianz reimbursed us full price for the cancelled air tickets. This total process, claim submitted to refund received, took about a week with minimal effort on our part. Thank you for the excellent service. Our comparison is the response by CSA Travel Protection which we used for the condo rental. With CSA, there was significant paperwork required, complex instructions and it has been a few weeks with no response other than “they will get to it when they can assign a claim manager." In looking at the reviews of CSA (mostly negative), we should not have used them and won’t in the future.

I bought 2 tickets to an Illenium concert a month in advance but wasn't sure if something would come up later down the line so I decided to buy insurance on them just in case. A week before the event, I have found out that I could not go because of my great grandma's birthday, who has traveled from Hong Kong to the U.S. to visit relatives she has not seen in years or even met. I have submitted a claim about this situation and I have not gotten an email back from Allianz and their customer service team.
I decide to call them and they say I need to provide proof such as a birth certificate! How on earth am I supposed to send them such personal and confidential material such as that?! Also, I cannot make my great grandma get a copy or picture of her birth certificate because she is not at home. This is so frustrating because as a college student, losing $250 for no good reason is so detrimental to a student's budget. Also, if someone buys insurance on something, especially for something simple and little as concert tickets, shouldn't it be easy to get a refund back? Apparently, it's not so simple because I might as well give them my grandma's social security. I want my money back Allianz!!!

I want to share my experience with Allianz Travel Insurance. I was visiting my son and family in Germany when I had a stroke. I was admitted to the hospital on December 25, 2019. My son contacted Allianz and they took it from there. They paid a large portion of the hospital bill, but that is not all. They also had an escort with me, which happened to be a nurse. From the moment I left my son's home until I arrived in my home in Michigan, she was with me every step of the way.. When we arrived in the Detroit airport, there was another driver to drive us to my home. I can't say enough about my experience!

My trip starting in Austin, TX on December 2, 2019 to visit my daughter who lives with her family in Europe didn't start off very well. I fell, really hard & flat on my face, in the Munich main train station the day we arrived. The paramedics came and after examining my very scrapped face, said that I might have a brain bleed & they should take me, in their ambulance, to the hospital. I was treated in the ER and had to pay them 200 euros before I could be released. A few months later, I received a bill from the ambulance for over 900 euros! I paid it & decided to submit a claim for reimbursement from Allianz Global. Thank goodness I had bought their trip insurance. I wasn't very hopeful and couldn't believe it when I soon received two checks which more than covered the ambulance and hospital bills.
If you are traveling, I strongly urge you to get trip insurance through Allianz Global. I visit my daughter 2-3 times a year and will always purchase their very reasonably priced trip insurance. Hopefully I won't ever need to submit another claim. But if something happens, I know that Allianz Global will help me right away. Thank you Allianz Global Assistance!
