Allianz Global Assistance Travel Insurance Reviews

I had a medical problem (shoulder pain/strain?) while in Mexico in late Feb that continued into early March. I contacted Allianz about the problem after going to a local Dr. (cost $85) I explained my condition and also indicated the Dr wanted me to get an MRI. They approved this procedure. I then visited the Dr after this test was done. I was informed of test results, provided options, up to and including surgery. etc. I was given a prescription and advised to have physiotherapy.( which I did that Allianz approved in advance) If problems continued I was advised to share the results of the MRI with my Dr upon return to Canada.

Upon return I filed my claim in late April & waited and waited-no response. After finally getting thru to customer service rep (their phone recording always says they have 100+ minute wait but you can leave your number and they will call back- they don’t!) I was advised to send original paper copies to their office. I did. Waited another month, no action, over past 3 months I’ve talked to 4 different agents. I was advised one form wasn’t received (it was in pckg and previous agent said they had all forms!) I Resent this form, it is now November and I’ve received nothing from them. I’ve sent in queries via their website with no reply. I’ve talked to 4 agents, the last one saying it was with an Advisor reviewing the claim and it was a priority. Yeah right. Claim is for $600 but I doubt I’ll ever be reimbursed. Stay away from this company!!

These people are beyond incompetent. Lost claim, resubmitted, lost again, resubmitted. 6 months still no resolve. As for single verification doc at a time vs all together. Then lose any emails with requested docs. Pathetic places like this are even allowed to operate.

Totally hopeless. Avoid it and choose another insurance company. Simple claim for damaged luggage processed by 1.5 month, and concluded as not relevant, as these guys did not recognise what is reimbursement from air company for items I bought as my luggage was lost, and claim for the damaged case. Zero, literally zero professionalism, greedy for money, hope they will disappear from the market.

I had to cancel a trip due to pneumonia. We provided all the documents needed to Allianz but were told to reprovide each one in turn. Some were requested three times. We are still waiting over three months later. I do not believe they want to pay. The insurance charge was $1500.

6 months later they are still asking the same questions. You have to spell out everything 2 or 3 times. The documents provided clearly say no refunds yet they want proof of no refunds. We resubmit and circle and hilite that it clearly says no refunds. Why don't they read it themselves instead of creating more delays? The list of incompetency goes on and on.
They imply we can call them at 1-800... however, the recording usually says they have higher-than-expected calls and to call back again and again and again and again... All day every day for weeks.
I would never recommend RBC Travel Insurance or Allianz Global Assistance.
I could give a negative star I would.
