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

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.

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.

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.

The policy was good value but as previously stated no reason to have to use any of the options. With Coronavirus being prevalent I know the policy would have been invalid

Hi Merril
We are in a similar situation with our ANZ Platinum Travel Insurance. I rang the customer service centre on 1300135271 on the 26 Feb and waited 50 minutes before I got a rep to help - he assured me I should be covered for the corona virus as I activated the cover in March 2022 but that each claim would be assessed on a case by case basis. I wanted to get written confirmation (our trip is worth more than $20,000) so I emailed the ANZAllianz claims department on March 1. Today I received this reply and the bottom line of the reply stated:
“Please be aware of the following -
Regardless of when you have purchased the policy or become eligible the exclusion will apply to all benefits within the policy/booklet if the claim arises from or relates to COVID-19 (corona virus)
Regardless of travel advisory dates, the exclusion will apply to all benefits within the policy if the claim arises from or relates to COVID-19 (corona virus)” needless to say we are very unhappy!! I tried ringing the 131000 but gave up after 30 minutes. Sadly the bookings were with a group of 6 friends and as we are all around 70 - it’s a huge risk to travel uninsured.

Travel Insurance - Comprehensive Plan

Now travel insurer Allianz Partners says it will cover any coronavirus related claims, provided the policy was taken out before midday on January 30. Any policies brought after that time will treat the coronavirus outbreak as a ‘known event,’ and will therefore not be able to offer cover.

Acting CEO Kevin Blyth says Allianz Partners has taken into account the advice of the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the New Zealand Government, which is advising against all but essential travel to China.

“Anyone who took out a policy with us prior to our travel advisory today (Jan 30) will definitely be covered for the coronavirus outbreak,” Blyth told Insurance Business.

“That advisory was our line in the sand, as we expect that everybody would know by this stage that this is a known event.”

“As Tim Grafton rightly said in his statement, it is very difficult to ascertain costs when something becomes a pandemic, and being able to price for that is very difficult,” he explained. “We’ve probably been one of the more generous insurers, and have held off on our travel advisory for as long as we could.”

Allianz Partners excludes pandemics and epidemics under its policy wording, and Blyth says the insurer usually waits for the WHO to declare an epidemic before it stops offering cover. He says he has not yet had any claims related to the coronavirus, but there has been a massive uptick in queries regarding customers’ travel policies.
