Allianz Reviews

"We were recently impacted in connection with the Crowdstrike Global IT issue. The out of pocket that we paid in comparison with what Allianz approved, did not cover our hotel cost and\/or our flight home and other costs. I have sent many emails. In addition I have made tons of calls without results. I feel that Allianz is a fraud!"

"Got my medical claim refused by Allianze with an irresponsible reason. I bought a travel insurance before my trip from them. And unfortunately I had a very bad stomach ache on my second \/ 3rd day of my arrival to the place I traveled to, went to see a doctor, and was sent to the hospital for an emergency surgery for removing my gallbladder from my body as it was full of gallstones inside. After all the stress of attempting to contact the emergency hotline service (Irish hotline) several of times while I was suffering from the pain and stress before and after the surgery, failed to reach people from Irish side, instead I found someone replying my email who is from the UK side, and he asked me to give him a call for sorting out things. (I told him, this is the difference between the Irish and the British in customer service wise) \u2026. After being discharged from the hospital, mingling of providing the same supporting documents for so many times (between April until July). They ended up to refuse my claim as they think that it\u2019s a prior case which I planned to have the treatment there before my trip, which is not true and this is not fair to me with such a wrong judgment! This is what they think but not the truth. It was an unexpected incident being arranged to have a surgery abroad. And customer like me have to accept their wrong judgment. People told me it\u2019s a waste of money to buy a travel insurance. I thought it would only happen on some small or doggy companies. I can\u2019t believe that it also happened on what we so called a worldwide corporate company. I paid for nothing but stress and anxiety and anger! The service is absolutely rubbish!!!! Insane service, I\u2019m so disappointed with this well known worldwide company, ripping off money from their customers. It twisted the meaning of buying an insurance which can protect you! No protection at all! Only frustration!"

"If I could give zero stars, i would.\r\nI am a customer only because I have travel insurance via Halifax clarity and Allianz is their provider so I don't have a choice.\r\n\r\nMy flight to Morocco was cancelled last minute in October 2022. We had to take a different flight with 3 different legs just to get there which cost a fortune. I submitted a claim on return which was never honoured. I never received a reply despite multiple emails. After a dozen calls I was told that the claim was closed and I wasn't eligible for compensation because I had checked in online and I should have checked in at the airport before the flight was cancelled. Not so much as an apology. My friend who took the same flight as me and has the same Halifax clarity account was compensated in full. \r\nFast forward to August 2023, my flight from Venice was also cancelled after check in. I started a claim in September. Sent all the receipts required. I never received a reply. After multiple emails and a formal complaint, I received an email in April 2024 asking for email from Ryan air offering an alternative flight. No such evidence existed so none could be sent. Then Randomly I get another email saying they have paid me a compensation which was inaccurate and about half of what I claimed for. They paid 49 pounds for compensation for accommodation for 2 nights. It was a 5 star hotel in Venice so 49 pounds would probably be just the parking cost. They then sent another email offering 150 pounds as a gesture of goodwill to close the complaint. I replied to both emails asking how they've calculated the amount they have paid and also refusing to accept their goodwill gesture unless there is a fair resolution. They never replied despite multiple emails. I have sent yet another email and if no response is received now, I will take the matter to financial ombudsman. Stay away from these guys. They're not even that cheap."

"Very poor. I would not recommend anyone to use this. It is a scam. You pay extra for the insurance and they keep your money. My family and I are on a strict budget and save to make a trip to our family every year and this one time we decide to change our trip plans to travel instead of fly, they deny my claim to receive a full refund. That is my hard earn money I spent. I cancelled in a timely manner and was patient with their horrible response time and customer service. This is unfair and unjust. I am now down 1500.00 along with the crappy 200 spent for this insurance. Avoid this company at all cost they just take and hold your money hostage and do not fight for the hard working people. Prejudice and unjust company"
