I added travel insurance to the ticket at the time of purchase. However, I cancelled the ticket on the same day and was not reimbursed, as I was advised that my request did not meet the criteria for reimbursement under the policy. This highlights a… Read more

broader concern with travel insurance coverage. While customers pay an additional premium for protection, the policies often contain exclusions and conditions that allow insurers significant discretion in declining claims. As a result, the coverage may not provide the level of protection that customers reasonably expect.

Take your money elsewhere - this travel insurance is worthless !! – Take your money elsewhere ! This is a terrible company, and they will do anything to avoid paying out anything. We had a delayed flight overseas, and was rebooked, and we have sent them all informations in regards to this, and the expenses it did cost us for the delay. The latest is that they now has written that it is mandatory for us to get a… Read more

Allianz Travel insurance is a scam and a fraud – I think Allianz Travel insurance is a scam and a fraud. Dear Allianz, I believe your decision is in error. Medical problems are specifically covered under our insurance. Delta Airlines wanted to have my husband’s FAA approved Inogen oxygen portable system removed from the plane. We believe that is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities… Read more

Act. Inogen oxygen has no oxygen tanks as it draws oxygen from the air. They are not explosive or flammable. Removing his safe, medically required device from the plane would have caused my husband to have seriously low oxygen and could have resulted in a heart attack or stroke. This is absolutely a medical reason for why he was not able to travel. Then, Delta insisted that if he needed his FAA safe medical device he would need to deplane.

Medical issues are specifically covered under our policy. You should be able to recover those funds from Delta as they violated ADA laws and caused the medical emergency.

Thank you

Great to know you are covered for any mishaps while having a great time on holiday – Used Alliance travel insurance a couple of times for cruises and will be using them on our next cruise too. Peace of mind knowing you are covered in case anything goes wrong. Show details

Uluru Trip – 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. Show details ·  1

Good cover for a good price – I have used Allianz domestic cover insurance several times over the last five years as it covers car-hire insurance and that means I make a huge savings by not having to pay the exorbitant rate that the car hire company charges for top up insurance. Show details ·  1

Discriminates against disability – Discriminates against people with disability- do not use. I was advised to amend son's policy and add Autism as ' existing medical condition' as if you need to make a claim they can attribute it to his disability and not pay ,as we were out of the 14 day cooling off period we had to cancel policy and get new one to add it , $11 refund for a $149 policy, this company happy to rip off someone with disabity. Show details

Good Policy – Easy to set up, policy documents were easy to read and understand. Adding extra cover for a pre-existing condition was done simply with easy to follow questions. Liked that there was choice with amount of cover and excess. Will definitely use again! Show details ·  1

Great cover policy – I always use Allianz Insurance for when we travel. I think it is the best value for money & for cover. Even when I worked in the insurance industry I still chose Allianz over the company I worked for. I have never had to make a claim as yet. We have used it for travelling in Australia & overseas. Show details ·  1

Great, gave me peace of mind – It seemed to be good value. It was easy to set up. I don't usually take out travel insurance but I was informed by my son that Travel Insurance covers hire car insurance. Yours seemed to be the best value. So I gave it a go. This was the first time I have used this company. I've just taken out a similar policy with you for travel from January 20 to 31. Show details ·  1

All great – Very easy to take up. Four times last year. The only issue that puts me off taking a multi-trip policy is the 15 day limit. Travelling overseas is normally just a bit more so this should be improved to say 18 days to allow for travel time. Show details ·  3

Good basic cover – We rated the plan as excellent because it was easy to get and we never needed it. So it's not possible to comment on how claims would be handled. The process for obtaining insurance for people with pre-existing medical conditions would be much easier if you could access and copy data from a previous application. Show details ·  1

Thank you again – I have always used Allianz for my travel insurance. To the best of my recollection, I have only had to submit one claim many years ago and that was speedily and effectively handled.

Worsted out can't say how much they repeat and their line unnecessary busy. Not my type – Absolute nightmare. It's better to not be insured at all than to be insured with Allianz. What a total headache. They make you wait 3 months for a simple decision. They line is do clogrd you should try calling in for a claim to find out. They literally hang up 2/3 times. They keep giving long explanation that's get nowhere. Why waste your time and money but especially time Show details

Great Policy for domestic travel – This is a super policy to take out for domestic travel which covers you up to $6000 XS on car rental - One third of the cost of what the Car Hire place wanted to charge me. The policy was super simple to set up and will definitely be using Allianz again for my travel interstate Show details ·  1

Easy to get quote and purchase. Have never had to Claim though – Cost of policy seemed good value. Very easy to set up. Third time in a row we have used this. The last two were All World for 1 year policies which covered five holidays. This time only took a short duration policy as our next holiday may exceed the 45 days. Like most insurance, the legalese is disappointing. The pre-existing conditions… Read more ·  1

always seems puzzling/concerning. We are both in good health but concerned we will get trapped on an obscure technicality if we ever had to claim. Luggage loss etc all seems good though.

All Good – This is the third travel policy with Allianz. Returned from 10 days on Norfolk Island. The Duo policy seems like good value for my wife and I. Easy to set up online and the consultants were helpful when I wanted to confirm the coverage. Luckily we haven't needed to make a claim but I'm hopeful that it will go smoothly if that occurs on future trips.  Show details ·  1
