avoid allianz insurance

I for one am not signing up to Facebook to read what happened.

read your fb story - interesting - you don't say how you got brain hemorrhage in first place - was it accident was it existing condition? This could effect your claim and what Allianz does. Your story reminds people what travel insurance is always about, insurers generally assume you have $$$s to tie you over and you will claim for reimbursement later --- its always hard to get money on the spot from them.

Someone got a brain hamerroaghe thingie. Lots of phone calls had to be made to Allianz. INone outrageous case it took them five hours to organise a hotel for him. Lots of words are written in angry caps. Allianz paid up. I presume this is posted all across TT. Snore. The end.

HTH

yep read it. mate shoulda just coughed up the dough , got the brain surgery done, and make the claim on insurance later on..

no real big drama as portrayed

Morning, Rob. Are you still in the west?

so your expectations of what should have happened didn't, so Allianz should be avoided.

From my understanding of insurance and that really is all types, they pay up after they have checked that the claim is -
a) legit
b) is covered by the policy you have taken out
c) is not a pre existing illness in any way

when travelling you should not only have travel insurance but have spare money to cover the unexpected.

afternoon Groo, I'm back in melbourne, looking after me mum in her old age for now..

such is life
