Travel Insurance Reviews

While travelling in Europe, my camera was stolen and I had to buy a new one for the trip. I submitted a claim once I got back to Australia and they paid me for my camera less the excess and some depreciation. I was happy as I wasn't expecting to get anything back from them.

My claim for $500 was rejected, and no help was offered in any way. When I enquired why, the answer was a straight no right off the bat. They had all sorts of excuses backup to make sure your claim will be unsuccessful. What a joke. Never buy from them.

I am very disappointed with Allianz. The paperwork required for my claim for only $150 medical expenses while travelling in Vietnam and to follow up on my case was just not worth the time and effort spent. I had to collect all the paperwork, filled up forms and had my GP to certify also cost time and money. It's been over a month since I submitted the form and it is still not approved. I have been emailing weekly since I submitted my claim with all the required documentation. It has been a frustrating process.

I make sure to insure myself before going abroad for a trip. I tried Allianz this time when going on a leisure trip to India. Unfortunately, the weather change did not suit me, and I suffered from flu. Allianz paid all the medical expenses and also made timely calls to ensure that I am well. Allianz, I am not going to any other travel insurance company ever.

I had to cancel my trip at the last minute due to work related issues. However, this was not covered by the policy and my claim was subsequently rejected. I feel like I wasted money on both the travel and accomodation expenses and also on the insurance policy which was why I purchased it in the first place. I will never buy another policy with them again.

While travelling in Greece I fell gravely ill and was hospitalized in intensive care. Allianz travel insurance claims had assured me that I would receive compensation for the hospitalization. After the claim was filed, the compensation that I received from them did not even cover a quarter of the expenses that I incurred! I would never recommend Allianz travel insurance.

Allianz travel insurance is supposed to have a 24 hour emergency support. I was a bit disappointed when I had to call them several times for filing my claim and to know the status of my claim. They also did not endorse their claims of delivery within 10 working days, but I did receive full compensation for my expenses after 3 weeks.

I have been insuring myself with Allianz for past 3 years whenever I went abroad. Thankfully all my trips were nice and there was no instance to make a claim. However, on my recent trip to London, I lost my baggage and made a claim. Despite of furnishing with all the required documents, I was not paid for the loss. It was a really bitter experience.

We had to make a claim for a huge medical fee while in UK but got rejected because my wife had an operation 3 years earlier on the same area. This is despite the fact that the 2 medical events were not related and this was certified by the surgeon in UK. Allianz chose not to honour the claim. I might as well travel without a travel insurance policy, at least it could have contributed to some of the medical bill we had to fork out.

I must say that I am very disappointed with Allianz travel insurance. During my official trip to South Africa my baggage was stolen, but I did not receive any reimbursements. My claim was denied because they assumed that I would receive expenses from my company as I was on an official trip. Even after a lot of phone calls and emails my case has not been considered.

Allianz insurance is a fantastic insurance company to deal with and I will definitely go with them again. I dropped my $2000 video camera while on my trip and bought a replacement there, put a claim when I returned and received the full payment in 2 weeks.

I had to go on a business trip to New Zealand for about a month, so I was looking for an apt travel insurance company, which would cover all my requirements. Thanks to Allianz, I was paid the charges of my lost baggage. Kudos to Allianz!
