Allianz Travel Insurance: What You Need to Know

Whether you seek affordability, value or peace of mind coverage in your travel insurance plan, Allianz Travel has a option for you with its Bronze, Silver and Platinum tier policies. All three of these plans offer among the greatest value within their pricing brackets based on the benefits provided for the cost.

People who care most about being reimbursed for travel inconvenience such as trip cancellations or delays and lost baggage will gain a lot from Allianz, as it offers some of the highest levels of trip inconvenience coverage. Other notable benefits include terrorism coverage, as well as coverage in case your travel agency becomes insolvent. Allianz also has an internal medical team of doctors and air ambulances to make sure you are covered in case of emergency evacuation or medical assistance, an assurance that not many competing insurers can boast. Lastly, if you are planning to engage in more specialized activities while on your trip such as water or winter sports Allianz will provide coverage for equipment and missed events for the Silver and Platinum plans.

Do take note that Allianz Travel offers both single trip and annual plan options.

Allianz Travel also offers very little in the way of personal accident or death benefits compared to other insurers for its most budget plan. If this is a feature you care deeply about, there are other plans out there that offer substantially more coverage. Finally, cost-conscious consumers may fare better with cheaper insurers like Budget Direct or Etiqa as Allianz is currently one of the most expensive travel insurers on the market.

Notable Exclusions

Allianz has quite a comprehensive list of exclusions with over 40 general exclusions and other benefit-specific ones. You won't be covered a variety of sports activities like skiing, trekking and open-water sailing. You also won't be covered if you have to shorten your trip relating to death, injury or sickness of anyone who lives outside of Singapore. You also won't be covered for the usual exclusions like pre-existing conditions, pregnancy, mental disorders and deterioration. It is highly recommended to read the policy wording to see what is included under each benefit.

Medical Expenses for pre-existing conditionsEngaging in sport for compensation
Pregnancy-related eventsItems taken by customs officials
Suicide and mental illnessBaggage sent separately or items left unattended
Cosmetic or elective surgery (unless necessitated by injury)Fragile articles
Travelling when you are medically unfitInability to travel due to business or contractual obligations
Metastatic or terminal illnessExtreme, high risk sports (skydiving, free-diving, personal combat, etc.)

Allianz Travel Bronze Plan

Compared to other entry-level travel insurance plans in Singapore, the Bronze plan provides a level of coverage that's far from basic at a near-unbeatable value. Though it's one of the more expensive plans on the market due to new coverages that extend to cruise ship trips, pandemics and sports, the 56-76% above average price may potentially be a good value for people looking to travel during the pandemic. This means if you are looking to save as much money as possible on travel insurance, you may be better off with even cheaper plans like Budget Direct or Etiqa.

Of all the budget travel insurance plans we studied, Allianz Travel Bronze offers the most coverage for general travel inconvenience, which includes disruptions like delayed or cancelled flights and lost or delayed baggage. Not only that, but it also provides good coverage for medical expenses (S$200,000 compared to the S$206,563 industry average). However, its personal accident and death benefits are non-existent. Overall, Allianz Travel Bronze offers unbeatable value at an affordable price, and as such is a versatile choice for travellers who seek reassurance, while not breaking the bank.

Allianz Travel Silver Plan

Among all the travel insurance plans we analyzed, Allianz Travel's Silver plan stands out from the pack for its attractive combination of price and benefit. In fact, the Silver plan made it to our Analyst's Picks for Best Value Travel Insurance in Singapore. While it isn't priced competitively due to the newly added COVID-19, cruise and sports coverage, the Silver plan may not be the cheapest mid-tier plan on the market (unless you're travelling to an ASEAN country, in which case it does tend to offer very cheap prices). However, the Silver plan makes up for its average pricing by offering the most coverage on the market for trip inconvenience, which covers the most common problems with travel. It also provides higher medical coverage than all but 3 mid-tier travel insurance plans on the market.

A distinction between the Allianz Travel Bronze and Silver plans is that Allianz Travel Silver offers annual travel insurance policies, which are optimal for the frequent flyer who may find himself travelling more than 3 to 5 times a year. It also offers up to S$250 in rental car damage and theft excess coverage and up to S$1500 in ID/Doc protection. Thus, Singaporeans who travel frequently out of the country for business could find the Allianz Travel's Silver plan to be a good choice.

Allianz Travel Platinum Plan

If you want to maximise protection during your next trip out of Singapore, the Allianz Travel Platinum Plan should be on your list of travel insurance products to check out. With the most coverage for travel inconvenience as well as unlimited coverage of medical and emergency expenses, it shouldn't be a surprise that the Allianz Travel Platinum Plan has made our Analyst's Picks for Travel Insurance with the Best Coverage Benefit. While this plan wouldn't be the best pick for travellers with a limited budget, there's no doubt that with the Allianz Travel Platinum Plan, peace of mind for common traveller problems is guaranteed.

That being said, among top-tier travel insurance plans, the Platinum Plan does not tend to offer the cheapest prices, instead costing 22-32% more than top-tier single trip plans and 116% more than top-tier annual plans. Whether this is a deal-breaker will be up to you. Nonetheless, based on our determination of value (benefits offered for the price), the Platinum Plan tends to offer the most bang for your buck of all top-tier travel insurance policies, whether you're planning a long trip or short trip, traveling to Thailand or the United States, going on a sports-fuelled adventure or taking a relaxing cruise around Singapore.

Sports Coverage

Allianz provides a few benefits for sports coverage, although it's restricted for only the Platinum plan. However, those willing to spend on this plan may receive coverage for missed activities, owned and rented sports equipment and search and rescue. Please note that certain sports that are considered 'high-risk' like skydiving, free-climbing, personal combat, off-piste skiing and bungee jumping are not covered.
