Las Vegas, NV and Richmond, VA, February 28, 2024 — Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT), the parent company of Allegiant Air, today announces a partnership with Allianz Partners USA to offer travel protection products to Allegiant customers.
Vacationers who book air travel and vacation packages on Allegiant.com have the option to purchase travel insurance for covered unexpected trip cancellations and interruptions. Additionally, some protection plans provide coverage for significant travel delays and covered baggage issues. Allegiant customers are also encouraged to take advantage of Allianz Partners’ award-winning travel assistance services.
“Allegiant is committed to providing our customers with convenient travel options. We know sometimes plans change and a trip has to be unexpectedly cancelled, delayed or interrupted,” said Drew Wells, Allegiant’s chief revenue officer. “Our business model offers an unbundled product that allows travelers to customize their vacation. For customers who want to travel with additional peace of mind, we are proud to offer trip protection from Allianz Partners, the industry leader in travel insurance and assistance.”
Allianz Travel Insurance* will reimburse Allegiant customers up to 100% of their insured flight cost if they have to cancel or interrupt their trip for a reason covered by their plan. These reimbursements could also cover other lost, pre-paid trip expenses such as hotel rooms and rental cars. Customers can contact Allianz Partners directly to add additional coverage to their protection plan if needed. Some available products also include coverage for significant delays and reimbursement for lost, delayed or damaged baggage.
“We are pleased to offer our consumer-focused travel protection products to Allegiant’s valued customers,” said Jeff Wright, CEO of Allianz Partners USA. “Allegiant customers traveling to and from any of the airline’s 124 cities across the country can rest easy knowing that we’re here to protect them from the costs of covered unexpected cancellations and interruptions, as well as other situations covered by their policy.”
Allianz Travel Insurance is available in the Allegiant booking path for purchase through allegiant.com. The protection plans will be available on Allegiant’s mobile app in the future.
Allegiant guests who select Allianz Travel Insurance will have access to Allianz Partners’ award-winning TravelSmart™ mobile app. The TravelSmart app includes an Alert Center feature that provides users with location-specific travel alerts, and is the fastest, easiest way to access a travel insurance plan, file and manage a claim and contact 24-hour travel assistance services.
