Coverage Alerts

The events listed below are considered “known and foreseeable” for travel insurance purposes on the date listed next to the event. Travel insurance may not provide coverage for an event if the policy is purchased after the event becomes known and foreseeable. Please consult your policy for more information.

Please review your Letter of Confirmation and Certificate of Insurance/Policy to find out more details about the coverage that you've purchased.

If you have an Allianz Travel Insurance Policy and need to file a claim, please visit our online claims center.

Below is a list of events and the date they became foreseeable events.

The official Atlantic hurricane season lasts from June 1 to November 30. To maximize vacation protection from storms and hurricanes, travelers should buy insurance when they make their travel plans and before a storm or hurricane is announced.

Once the National Weather Service issues a warning for a storm or hurricane, it is considered a foreseeable event. Policies purchased on or after the warning date do not cover losses related to that event.

Snow storms may frequently disrupt air travel during the winter months. For many storms, your airline may be able to get you on your way within a few hours of your scheduled departure. For longer delays, airlines frequently allow customers to change their plans without a change fee. In the event of a storm, contact your airline before you depart for the airport to learn about potential delays and rescheduling options.
