Written on: 18/12/2012 by RicardoRozsa (1 review written)
My name is Ricardo and my claim number is 2498888. my car license is 11D29319. The claim was sent on 11th of december. Since that day i've been calling Allianz to ask when i can fix my car. Every time they say someone will call me back in the same day giving me the details. THEY NEVER CALL ME BACK. Everyday i call and the same asnwer is given. Someone is going to call me back. Its been 8 days and still nothing. THINK TWICE BEFORE DOING AN INSURENCE WITH ALLIANZ. THERE'S NO CONSIDERATION. NO... (read more)

“They will rob you blind.”
Written on: 07/08/2012
After having to submit a claim with Allianz I've learned that they will go through even illegal lengths to deny you. No matter how many physician forms, police reports, and other documents I had in my favor, Allianz just said "we disagree, you're denied" after all of it. Months and months of harassing doctors and lawmen for forms that all proved my claim were simply ignored and my claim was denied. This is so so wrong, you will never get what is rightfully yours, no matter how much you... (read more)

“Cost me my business”
Written on: 01/02/2012 by rtbcomp (1 review written)
Needed my car for my business. Got fully comp cover with hire car on monthly payments. Car got stolen. Got a cheque for £32 next day, they deducted outstanding installments. Wouldn't let me have a hire car because they'd settled. Tried to complain, they put phone down on me. Complained to director, he told me to complain to the person I was complaining about. Could only find recordings of conversations when it suited them. The irony is I've now been elsewhere for several years with no... (read more)

“Unbelievably bad company run by cowboys”
Written on: 06/01/2012
My daughter-in-law had parked her car outside our house and while she was in our house a neighbour backed his car into hers. He admitted it was wholly his fault and would inform his insurance company accordingly. My daughter-in-law duly informed Allianz. You would think this would be a pretty straightforward claim. However, Allianz told her to deal with the claim herself and telephone the other party's insurance company. My husband was apoplectic!!! We are insured with Saga who are... (read more)

Just want to add a post-script to my review re: my daughter-in-law's claim. The other party responsible for the damage to her car reported it promptly to his insurance company, Saga, and admitted full responsiility. Saga duly phoned my daughter-in-law and said they would pay for the repair to her car and would even provide her with a courtesy car. What a good,honourable company Saga is, and what a rubbish company Allianz is!!!

“Shocking customer service”
Written on: 31/10/2011 by Spinney28 (1 review written)
We have been with Allianz for 5 years, with very very few claims and therefore no reason to have an issue. We recently had a cat convertor stolen off a car. It took them 4 weeks to inform us that the car needed to be sent to an authorised repairer, during which time the car depreciated by more than £600. When an engineer finally came out to inspect the car, which itself took over 3 weeks, he left something on and the battery died. This could only be reset by a Main Dealer, so a further... (read more)

“Absolutely Disgraceful and Shocking AVOID!!!!!!”
Written on: 01/10/2011
Went with Allianz as was best deal through search engines, however I had an outstanding claim which wasnt my fault from a previous accident which was still outstanding. This was since settled at 50/50 and my claim went up from £500 to over £1200 without any courtesy call whatsoever or correspondence. Didnt find this out until I saw a few payments debited from my account. THe customer service is absolutely disgraceful and I will be going to the financial ombudsman - avoid at all costs!!!!!!!!!

“Stay clear of Allianz car insurance!!!”
Written on: 13/06/2011 by IFernando (1 review written)
I made a claim to Allianz after someone stole suspension parts off my car. The car was collected by them as it was no longer driveable. I received a letter saying no parts have actually been stolen and that the parts are intact on the car! and that this is a mechanical problem and they are not going to fix it! Just as well i took pictures! I challenged them on the phone with what i new only to find out that these idiots had not even sent a engineer out to look at my car. After phoning... (read more)

“Allianz Never use this company. ”
Written on: 07/02/2011
Allianz Never use this company.
You will be throwing your money away, you might as well flush your money down the loo.
We pay £11,000.00 a year insurance to Allianz we have never made a claim on our insurance in 10 years.
They take your money and don't pay up when you make a claim. They try all the tricks in the book. I am totally convinced that they behave illegally.
Can any one out there advise us on what to do next.
We have been told that the ombudsman generally side with insurance...

Terrible experience with this company. I had an accident last year and allianz cornhill have been rude and unpleasant to deal with throughout the claim process. Awful customer service and they had the cheek to double my premium without telling me even though the accident wasn't my fault. Avoid like the plague. (read more)

Written on: 24/11/2010 by johnrose (2 reviews written)
Never use this company. A drink driver drove into the back of me at speed while i was waiting at traffic lights. Should have been an open and shut case but 18 months on and i'm still waiting for the claim to be settled. My claim gets passed from team to team and nobody will resolve it. Now at the point where i just want to accept my losses and move to a proper insurer though i'm certain that is what they are aiming for. Just avoid them like the plague. (read more)

I found this review very helpful because...it was informative. It gave first hand experience of someone who had actually made a claim. Most of us are inclined to write after a bad experience; it takes something pretty impressive to inspire us to write about a good one!

Written on: 11/02/2008 by moolet
You only find out how how good your insurance company is when you need to claim.
Unfortunatley Cornhill/Allianz were very poor. Customer service/claims are NOT proactive and try to fob you off with promises of call backs that didn't happen in my case.

Written on: 05/10/2006 by nigealex (3 reviews written)
For me, I benefited from using an independent broker that I can phone if needed, and there are no call centres which is a relief.
Allianz Cornhill will also sort out any car insurance claims should I need to make one.

This award winning company should have been awarded The comedy award, as it took Allianz Cornhill 5 months to settle our car insurance claim. I would say that is having a laugh. This is what happened when no other vehicle or persons were involved. (read more)

Written on: 01/06/2006
Apologies: I thought that you could not spell. This company's name looks as though it was invented by an illiterate sixteen year old rapper. 'General Insurer of the Year 2004 and 2005' and with seven claims' offices one would expect it to be really on top of things! Before I insured with this company I would want to know if all its staff wore dreadlocks and why one has one to dial a premium '0845' number and pay a devil's ransom in order to obtain accident advice.

they are supposed to be BMW insurers. SO far they are awful, tried to take my car away before even telling me what they are planing to do, so to put me in a disparate situation to accept their offer, They charges full premium and just two weeks later they are offering half the insured value of my car. I do sense that the only way to deal with them is the law, court. If you buy BMW do not use their insurer it is Allianz. If you buy BMW do not use their insurer it is Allianz.
