Hi Lorraine, thanks for your query. Our headquarters are in Brisbane. I've asked our travel sales team to give you a call ASAP but I can't guarantee when they will be able to call, so if it is urgent I would suggest calling us on 13 1000 to speak to someone now. Hope this helps! Kind regards, Tegan

It shouldnt take very long for a response or call from Allianz. When my partner broke his wrist in Bali we were called within 6hrs of submitting our claim and took about just under 12 hrs for them to approve it and my partner was in hospital correcting his wrist and being bandage up so i hope you have the same response time :)

It will take as long as allianz wants it to take. They are well known for dragging things out and hoping you will give up and go away. Never again will we go with allianz for any sort of insurance

You should be covered but I wouldn't trust allianz to do the right thing. Also, all these 5 star reviews just for being able to buy this insurance are a joke. Good luck when you try to claim

Hi
I believe HCF travel insurance is administered by Allianz. The HCF quote I got for travel to Japan from 25/5/20 to 10/6/20 was $545.41. The quote I got on the Alliance web site was $426.11. Would there be significant differences in the insurance cover if I insured directly with Alliance. The HCF quote was for Comprehensive Insurance Cover. Would the Alliance cover be a Comprehensive Cover policy?
Thanks

Take care using allianz. Not recommended. So many 5 star reviews lately but hardly any have made a claim so this is very misleading. Obviously allianz is offering some sort of incentive to write a good review on your purchasing experience. Good luck if you want to make a claim - you'll need it

Rickasked

Allianz Travel Insurance

I am travelling from Australia to the UK for 7 1/2 months, and have a return ticket. My father and mother are both elderly, and whilst they have no terminal illnesses and are both living independently, I am obviously concerned if they become ill or pass whilst I am away. If I have to return home as a result of this, am I covered for the extra cost of either changing my return ticket to return home early, or buying an additional return ticket to come home and then return to the UK to continue my trip

Forget about using allianz. My mother's funeral was the day our planned trip was to start. Claim denied as she was over 85. Allianz will take your money but they certainly won't be there for you when you need them. Don't read the 5 star reviews from people who haven't claimed but read the 1 star reviews from people who have claimed

Can anyone help please, i puchased travel insurance with alliaz, we are travelling to the US to attend my sons wedding. It has been postponed until 2020 now. Due ti strict immigration laws in tne US, He is marring a girl in the US and was told his fiance visa wont be ready in time, very dissapointin. Can i claim insurance of flights and accommodation?

I would collect ALL proof of reasons for postponment, (ie visa delay) in writing, explain that your reasons for having to cancel are not of your doing, provide your accommodation and flight details, cross your " T's", dot your " I's" when filling out your online claim form. I found this was the easiest way to lodge claim.At all times, my Allianz experience, either by email or by phone was very satisfactory and helpful. I had to claim twice due to my husband 's recent terminal illness diagnosis and we were dealt very promptly with our refund. You should also read your terms and conditions. I also contacted the airline and accommodation myself to see if they would cancel.
, This was for France, motel agreed to cancel, airline did not.( Ethiad).Although, most accommodation in the states are not as flexible as other countries, and airlines are notoriously unhelpful and unbending, depends on fare type.Good luck.

Be prepared for allianz to jerk you around as much as they possibly can in the hope that you will give up and go away. Dont be afraid to go to the financial ombudsman if you need to. My worst experience ever with any insurance company but with the ombudsman's help we got every cent due to us

We are about to demobilise from an overseas work assignment in Timor Leste. Before we return to Australia we will be traveling to Nepal and Europe. We are eligible for Bankwest travel insurance having purchased our travel using our Bankwest Platinum MasterCard. When I read the information package it says "Journey Starts from Australia or Australian air or sea terminal." But we will be starting our journey from Dili, Timor Leste. Is this okay?

Hi there,
My partner and I have purchased the tickets for our holiday to Europe (from Australia) in June of this year. The tickets are booked for December of this year. However, we have found out in August that I am pregnant. We have been advised by my doctor that such a long flight (24h) is not recommended at the end of the second trimester in my case.
Would the insurance cover the cancellation fees or fees applied in changing the dates for these two tickets we have purchased in June?
Thank you in advance.
Regards, Gabi.

Hello there, my luggage is currently lost. I have filled a report at Mykonos where the luggage hasn’t been been interlinked. If it’s not here within 24 hours or 72 hours I think you offer reimbursement. Does an excess need to be paid for this?

1 answer
Allianz Travel Insurance
Allianz PartnersAllianz Travel Insurance

Hi Krishanie, thanks for the question. On page 61 of the PDS, it does say we will not pay if you are entitled to compensation from the bus line, air line, shipping line or rail authority you were travelling on for the relevant amount claimed. However, if you are not reimbursed the full amount, we will pay the difference between the amount of your
expenses and what you were reimbursed, up to the limit of your cover. We will reimburse you if any items of your luggage and personal effects are delayed, misdirected or misplaced by the carrier for more than 12 hours, and in our opinion it was necessary for you to purchase essential items of clothing or other personal items. You must provide written proof from the carrier who was responsible for your luggage and personal effects that they were delayed, misdirected or misplaced.If you do need to claim for lost luggage through us, there will be an excess deducted. Regards, Anthony.
