Staying Connected with Allianz Travel Protection

How the free Allyz® app from Allianz Partners keeps help within reach around the globe

However well-planned your vacation, no one can predict every possible snag. Whether it’s a delayed flight, a stomach bug, or a traffic jam, travel has a way of keeping us on our toes. But staying calm and keeping your trip on track can be a lot easier with the right tools.

That’s where the free Allyz app, the perfect complement to your Allianz Travel Protection plan, comes in handy. Designed to support travelers before, during, and after their trips, Allyz helps you stay informed, connected, and confident—even when things don’t go quite as planned.

Here’s how it works.

Instant access to your Allianz Travel Protection plan details
When something unexpected happens on vacation, the last thing you need is a frantic search through your emails for your plan documents.

With Allyz, your plan details are always right at your fingertips. You can quickly access your proof of insurance (a requirement for hospital admittance in some situations), look up details on benefits for your plan, and file a claim directly from your mobile device.

Medical help abroad with Global Doctor Visits1
For non-emergency medical issues, Allyz makes it easy to schedule medical consultations—in your preferred way (in-person or virtual) and in your language. With the Global Doctor Visits feature, you can access medical consultations in over 100 countries to get treatment for common illnesses and minor injuries with no up-front, out-of-pocket costs for the consultation. It’s the perfect option if you’re feeling a bit off and want to skip the waiting room part of getting your trip back on track. Then, you can file a claim with your Allianz Travel Protection plan to reimburse you for prescriptions you filled during your trip.

If your medical issue is an emergency, the Hospital Finder tool in Allyz can help you locate the nearest appropriate facility for your situation.

Travel disruption awareness with destination-specific safety alerts
Travel is easier when you know what’s happening (or expected to happen) around you. Allyz delivers timely alerts specific to your destination so you can stay informed about potential issues that might affect your trip. These alerts range from weather events and transportation delays to local health advisories and more. Whether it’s a developing storm or sudden transit strike, you’ll know sooner—so you can adapt faster.

Flight updates in one spot
Airports move fast. Gates change, flights delay, and schedules shift. Allyz keeps you in the loop without having to repeatedly look up your flight among many others at the airport or switch between apps with each new carrier you board. In one central app, you can access details like gate changes, delay notifications, cancellation alerts, and general status updates. Staying ahead of these airport surprises means a more relaxing journey from terminal to touchdown.

24/7 expert assistance on “speed dial”
Sometimes you just want a real person to help you through a tough moment. When paired with an Allianz Travel Protection plan, award-winning assistance experts are on call 24/7—and just a couple taps away through the Allyz app. The travel assistance team can help you navigate relatively small mishaps—like lost travel documents or forgotten medication—as well as more serious, logistically complex situations like a medical emergency in a remote area. Having them on “speed dial” through Allyz can be a major confidence-booster while traveling.

Get more out of your Allianz Travel Protection plan and bring more confidence on vacation
Travel surprises are sometimes inevitable—but feeling unprepared doesn’t need to be. With the Allyz app, you can stay connected to a reliable support system around the globe.

Before your next getaway, ask your travel advisor about Allianz Travel Protection. It gives you full access to Allyz features like 24/7 travel assistance, plus financial benefits that can protect you from losses for a wide range of covered reasons. And don’t forget: download the free Allyz app from the App Store or Google Play before setting out on your vacation. Your future self will thank you for it.
