Allianz Global Assistance Travel Insurance Reviews

Waiting 22 months and counting for a claim to be processed. No contact from the business for over a year. Three customer complaints raised, only one acknowledged. Claims department emailed me addressing correspondence to a different party, asking me for documents that did not exist. Slow to respond to ombudsman recommendation that they pay compensation, which eventually came. When email finally came 22 months later in March 2024 stating claim would be paid within 5-10 working days, they used incorrect bank sort code, thus not honouring the claim. Jury still out on whether they are grossly incompetent or fraudulent, but no other explanation is possible. The experience leads one to conclude that travel insurance is a waste of money. Avoid at all costs.

Over the past few years i have dealt with allianz for a travel refund for canceled flights, of the 3 flights i have recieved 0 refund even though my credit card covers me and insures me of this! This company is a fraud! My most recent experience, my flight was canceled Oct 30 2023 it is now jan 17 2024 and i have not recieved an answer! You may be put on hold for hours and the call gets disconnected, the emails are not responded to in a timely manner. Very disappointed with Allianz!! RBC should not deal with Allianz!

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.

Terrible customer service plus does not pay out on trip interruption claim when another local provincial insurer paid our friend. Equivalent trip interruption claim for the identical trip
Allianz rejected our trip interruption claim, citing fine print on back policy pages states that due to factors out of their control, policy becomes null & void. They also took over 3 months and numerous calls, before staff responded.
Even their front line staff felt we should be reimbursed.

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.

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.
