Allianz Global Assistance Travel Insurance Reviews

Don't waste your time or give any hopes to resolve your claim with this company.
Don't buy travel or medical insurance with them. This company should be shut down.
It is a scam. They take your money gladly but always deny claims. To contact somebody and ask about the claim status is almost impossible. I guess you could send an email but don't expect response back. You can try to call but waiting hours won't guarantee you will talk to somebody up there. Save your sanity and buy your travel insurance from somebody else.

Plus de 3 mois après avoir soumis notre réclamation nous attendons toujours notre remboursement. Nous avons appelé à 4 reprises et à chaque fois ont nous dit de rappeler dans 10 jours, car notre dossier n'a pas encore été traiter. Ils sont rapide pour prendre votre paiement, mais lorsque c'est le temps de rembourser les frais médicaux ils prennent leur temps.

Horrible experience with Allianz submitting a claim on flight delay and baggage delay. Their online claims portal doesn’t work, brutal process to submit and lack of communication has left me still trying to get $$ back from the winter storm when our flight was delayed and cancelled.

This company should have been shutdown years ago, largely because they’re nothing but scammers! Submitted all the necessary forms for a cancelled trip due to a last minute medical issue, and all I got was to be waiting for 6 months! The online claim number that I was given kept coming up as invalid every time I tried to check on the status. When you finally get through to someone on the phone at Allianz, it’s pretty obvious they don’t give a @$&?! about you, and do their very best to make you go away. I honestly think that’s what they’re paid to do! As I said before, why is a company like this allowed to stay in business, for god’s sake.

If I could give 0 stars I would - my son had a medical emergency while traveling and had an ER visit. The process to figure out how to submit the claim was so painful. It has been over 6 months and the claim is not resolved as I have debt collectors contacting me. No one answers the phone, no one calls you back when you schedule a call back, no one answers emails etc.

I would avoid this company and seek alternative coverage elsewhere.

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!!

Filed a claim weeks ago and no one has even bothered to look at it. I work in the insurance industry as an adjuster and if I took this long to respond to a claimant I'd be fired. This company holds its independent Adjusters to a standard of contact in less than 2 hrs for new claims contact but can't bother to pick up a phone nearly a month later. Good thing I didn't have a severe Injury- who knows how long I'd be out of pocket or if I'll get paid at all. Go with another company who actually serves their customers.

Stay away from these scammers, it took me 2 years and till now I didn't get my claim and also the customer service is a disaster every time I call they just keep saying that it takes 48 hours to get a call it's been more than a week now and no one called.

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.

Claims never paid out, they make lot of excuses for not paying. It took them almost a year for an international travel claim and they end up not paying out anything. Customer service is one of the worst. Unprofessional service. I definitely not recommend it at all.
