I used Allianz this fall. They were difficult to communicate with, especially from Europe.

They paid, sort of.

They asked a lot of generic questions (not tailored to my situation), never replied to my queries, and t

Therefore underpaid me. But there was no further communication with them.

So, they are not a scam but could really improve their customer service.

This is most insurance companies, since their goal is to find reasons not to pay.

I had a rental car issue (windhsield cracked, not my fault directly) and tried to use the insurance on my card (Chase) to cover the fee the company in Europe charged me. Took a few months of me sending the same documents back to them, and with the same story each time, and finally they accepted it. I think I spent more time on this than it was worth, but each time you send the stuff in, you assume it's going to be the last, and then it isn't.

This actually makes me feel a little better because I had to replace a tire on vacation and I never got past the first set of forms they sent me and I’ve always felt like I shouldn’t have given up so easily.

So Europe. Because Spain is in Europe.

I just bought insurance for a trip today. It was almost 10% of the cost of the trip. I got a middle tier plan. I went with Travel Guard.

(Note: once when I was younger and did not have trip insurance, my homeowners policy paid for a camera which got ruined during a rafting mishap out west. Yes, it had been in a dry bag, but we wrapped around a rock and the camera was under rapids for 3 hours, so it did not work after that. But all of the photos on my SD card were fine!)
