Policy basically worthless

published

I see many negative reviews about Allianz and quite frankly Im not surprised. We had to cancel our trip due to Covid and having a young baby until one year old. We were told on the phone by Allianz that this would covered and yet they then refused our claim - even after our travel agent were trying to support us through this process.
We had multiple policies with Allianz (House, car) but are now in the process of cancelling all policies with them as we greatly fear that, if we needed to make another valid claim, thiese eould be refused and we would be left with no support. Like the travel insurance, all Allianz policies are completely worthless.

Cheated by Allianz

published

Allianz will not cover any cancellations and cite their pandemic exclusion clause, despite the cancellations technically arising as tour/flight operators choose to cancel or consolidate due to fewer passengers or attendees. Truly despicable, will never use them again and will actively market this betrayal to my network.

Don’t ever buy this insurance

published

May 2020 Milan, Italy conference for Orthopaedic Surgeons was recently cancelled due to COVID-19. They refused refund for flight tickets. A “pandemic” is not their fault. Shame on you. People are dying. All US FLIGHTS canceled to Italy. What a shameful company.

Insurance scam policy

published

Worst travel insurance company EVER. Does not cover epidemic or pandemic. Also does not cover if the borders are closed or a "do not travel" warning from the government is issued. So pretty much Covers nothing got to do with TRAVEL to actually be insurance.

Clarity of cover from US arm vs AUS arm

No clarity as to where things stand re COVID19. US site says one thing, AUS site says another. Emails to Allianz from 11 days ago unanswered.

Will vote with my feet. My Allianz CTP just came through. Hello Nrma...

This does not address my question about the difference between what the US website says and what FAQs in the Aus website says (which is a lot less sympathetic to your customers).

very good policy but not good enough

Disappointing we had no recourse for having to change our flights to get out of Italy when they shut everything down. We were locked down in our hotel room for 5 days after being forced to cancel our holiday plans and had to eventually pay exorbitant fees to reschedule flights home.

Called for advice while abroad, could not provide advice

published

Took out a travel policy in August 2022, now abroad with advice from Australian Government that we need to return Allianz Only provided general advice over the phone stating the policy excludes pandemics. I noted that we were not sick and sought advice on coverage and assistance. Sorry, we just work to a script provided. Go figure?

Never leave home without Allianz

published

I am a first time user of Allianz travel insurance, so easy to use their on line website and amazed at the service and price especially for us older folk. After years of traveling l unfortunately had to make my first claim for a lost item it was so easy with the online claim form and to my amazement the claim was settled the following day. I will never leave home without my Allianz travel insurance in my baggage.

I went to "Compare the Market" site and after reviewing the others I choose Allianz because I thought it represented good value and covered my requirements. All went well and we didn't have to make a claim.

DO NOT get travel insurance with Allianz

published

Better and less expensive policies are available. This policy has one of the worst cooling off periods and doesn't offer a partial refund outside of the review period. Look at other insurers.

Don’t leave home without it

published

Easy to obtain a quote and to finalise payment on the internet however continually missed opening times over the phone so couldn’t ask specific questions relating to the policy e.g international car excess coverage. Ended up just taking a punt. Thankfully didn’t have to use policy so I can’t comment any further.

The policy was a good value for my budget. I always use this insurance company because it's reliable. I did not claim any because I don't need to. My travel was safe.

No good. Will not cover pre-pandemic!

Do not go with this company which goes under many names. They are not paying for the pandemic even though it was booked well in advance. I have had my cover cancelled by them.

Easy online application tailored to number of days of travel. Instant confirmation if you don't have any pre existing issues. I did not make a claim so can only comment on the application process, which was straighforward and easy to understand.

Hello,
I have checked your website and can't find an answer to my question. I have also just phoned 131000 mas suggested to Jacqui (another person on this page) however I am unable to get through. My question is: I have taken out a policy beginning 16/5/20, ending 7/6/20. We had planned to travel to The Kimberley, WA. We have had to cancel the holiday due to WA borders being closed, in addition to some accommodation in Broome. Are we able to cancel our policy and what is the process?
Thank you for your assistance.

Hi I purchased 2 Travel Insurance Policies. Due to the Corona Virus our flights were cancelled by Jetstar. Can we get a refund for the Policies as we have not commenced our trip due to them cancelling on us and we do not intend to make a claim. I have spoken to Consumer Protection and they have stated that we should be entitled to a refund....
