Allianz Global Assistance Travel Insurance Reviews

I had EVERY possible thing I was supposed to have for my insurance, and they did NOT pay out. They make it impossible to fill out the claim in the first place, and then they don't pay out when you have EVERYTHING you're supposed to have. Do NOT waste your money.

I had to cancel two Sphere tickets for my elderly mother and myself. My mother is 85 and decided she is not healthy enough physically or mentally to travel to Vegas. Tried to file a claim on Allianz website and it cannot find the policy despite pulling up the correct record using the policy number. Called to speak to a rep. and he agreed to file it for me but tells me that I have to have a doctor's note essentially as supporting documentation. The email I received after the claim was filed indicates that the tickets are only covered up to $200, when I paid $383. Such a scam.

Terrible customer service plus does not pay out on trip interruption claim when another local provincial insurer paid our friend. Equivalent trip interruption claim for the identical trip
Allianz rejected our trip interruption claim, citing fine print on back policy pages states that due to factors out of their control, policy becomes null & void. They also took over 3 months and numerous calls, before staff responded.
Even their front line staff felt we should be reimbursed.

My flight was cancelled BY THE AIRLINE and rebooked for different dates. I wanted to change my plan or cancel the package I bought to reflect the days I needed. They said because the flight was rebooked and not cancelled due to weather or mechanical function, I could not receive a refund … for coverage I couldn’t even use because it was covering different dates. Also to get someone on the phone was not organized at all, the wait times were horrible, and associates not knowledgeable on all products. I bought the best coverage for my family and paid an expensive amount. And this company could not do anything for me. I lost out on a lot of money and they do not care to rectify the situation. Horrible company and customer service.

I purchased insurance for concert tickets. I wound up not being able to go. They claim it gives you peace of mind in case something comes up. Turns out they don’t cover a GD thing. They only cover “specific reasons” in order for a claim to be approved, and apparently, you need to be losing a kidney in order for it to be a qualifying reason!

I got full coverage for my business travel from Vancouver to Santa Cruz Bolivia in November 2022. I traveled from Vancouver to Cancun and was about to catch a flight to Santa Cruz when I came to know that there is a general strike all over the city, cars were being burnt, etc...
I had to come back to Vancouver and then again go in December with another ticket.
I filed the case with Allianz Insurance and my case kept on going and finally, they declined my claim saying that I am not eligible for the claim. If a person cannot travel due to a strike and complete lockdown of the city then what was the travel insurance cover me for? Wish you had 0 and I would have given that rating and not even 1!

We made a cancellation which was handled by Allianz Global Assistance, to recover our flight costs after my wife had an operation and treatment for cancer. All this happened months after we booked the flight but during the 10 months, it took Allianz to process our claim they reviewed her family doctor records and discovered that she'd contacted him for a stomach ache prior to booking our flight. They denied our claim basically saying that we should have known from the stomach ache that she had cancer and not proceeded with the booking. They also claimed that one of the surgeons told us not to go on our holiday. This is true, but it happened after her surgery, two months after we'd booked the flight. So they used information out of context to justify their denial. If the travel insurance benefit of this card is important to you, maybe consider a different card.
