Direct Travel Partners with Allianz in Canada as well as U.S.

Direct Travel in Canada has chosen to follow its U.S. counterpart in choosing Allianz Global Assistance (Allianz) as its official travel insurance partner.

Matt Anstett, Director of eComm & Travel Channel at Allianz, commented, "Clients who opt in for travel protection can now enjoy their trips knowing that Allianz is there for them 24/7 to help navigate most travel-related mishaps around the world. Our goal is to provide safety, security and peace of mind to travellers throughout their journey."

In a statement, Direct Travel said the two companies have a long-standing relationship within the U.S. and are actively extending the partnership to all of Canada.

"Our partnership with Allianz has been best-in-class for the last 10 years," said Rene Schneeberger, SVP of Supplier Relations and Revenue Optimization at Direct Travel. "We recently made them a True Partner, our highest level of partnership, which is a reflection of the tremendous support they provided during 2020 and 2021 and we look forward to this expanded relationship."
