Does Allianz travel insurance have COVID-19 cover?

Allianz does provide some cover for COVID-19, however it may be subject to certain conditions. Read up on the PDS for the full story of exclusions for your chosen policy.

What other optional extras can I add to my Allianz policy?

Allianz offers a few optional extra packs to tailor your coverage. For instance, if you wish to increase the cover limit for specific personal items, like luggage, a camera or jewellery, you can pay an extra premium to do so. You can also purchase the Cruise Pack for coverage designed for your sailing adventure, or the Snow Pack if you're hitting the slopes. There's also an Adventure Pack if your trip involves a little bit of roughing it.

This list isn’t exhaustive, so check out Allianz’s PDS to see if your adventure activities are covered, and if there are any important conditions to note.

Are pre-existing medical conditions covered under Allianz’s travel insurance?

Allianz does not automatically include coverage for pre-existing medical conditions, although you can apply for coverage of your conditions when getting a quote for your policy. You will only be covered if your pre-existing condition is listed on your certificate of insurance, so make sure you disclose any conditions that you do have at the time of applying. 

To apply for cover of your pre-existing medical condition, either contact Allianz on 13 1000 or complete an online medical assessment. They will then tell you if your condition is able to be covered.

What do I do if there’s an emergency during my trip?

If there’s an emergency, contact Allianz’s 24-hour emergency assistance and claims line on: 

How do I make a claim with Allianz travel insurance?

To make a claim, head online to Allianz’s claim portal and follow the prompts, or request a claim form by emailing travelclaims@allianz-assistance.com.au. You will need to have supporting documents which are relevant to your claim, like receipts, police reports, or hospital invoices. Allianz will aim to notify you of the success of your claim within 10 working days. 

Is it possible to cancel my Allianz travel insurance policy?

You can cancel your policy and receive a full refund within 14 days of purchasing it, provided you have not started your journey or intend to make a claim. If you want to cancel after the 14-day cooling-off period, then you could receive a partial refund, depending on how much time has passed.

It is so difficult to contact them. You have to spend more than one hour waiting. They do not provide a reference number so you will have to call them several times to make a follow up. It took more than two months for a refund to be resolved. And they do not have an easy system to make complaints.

Great value.

The Allianz travel insurance quote was very easy to do online as an individual. They also offered the best value for coverage that I could find.
