Luckily for me, I didn’t have to use this insurance but it did provide peace of mind while on my trip to China

Very dissatisfied with the Nationwide coverage. They used a "fine print" detail to deny my claim. The travel company I used closed its business and my trip was canceled. But the company has not filed for bankruptcy and that was the excuse used to deny the claim. I provided ample documentation of the business closure but that was insufficient to approve the claim. I would never recommend Nationwide to anyone.

Although I did not have a need to use the trip insurance, the peace of mind knowing that I would be covered was well worth the very reasonable cost!

Fortunately, we did not need to use our Nationwide travel insurance policy, but I'm glad we had it.

We have used Insuremytrip for several adventures over the past several years. Have never had to make a claim, but feel very comfortable with the offerings of coverage and believe they would come through if we did have a claim. I find it much better priced than going through a tour company.

We were unhappy to find out this insurance did not cover denied visa because there has been a lot of trouble getting visas approved to China. Otherwise it was seemingly good, but we bought it in hopes of covering us incase of visa denial and later learned it would not have helped.

Thank you very much for taking the time to submit your review.
We are sorry to hear that you had to cancel your trip because you were unable to receive your travel visa prior to your scheduled departure date. Since this was not listed as a "covered reason" in your Nationwide Essential plan, there would be no reimbursement under your Trip Cancellation coverage. "Covered Reasons", which vary from plan to plan, may be reviewed prior to purchase by clicking on the dollar amount of Trip Cancellation coverage within the quote.
Reimbursement would have been available to you if you had purchased a policy that included "Cancel for Any Reason". Subject to the policy's terms and conditions, CFAR allows you to cancel your trip for other than a covered reason. In the future, you may wish to call Customer Care at 800-487-4722 for assistance with a CFAR quote.Jun 12,2018

Well I didn't use the insurance, so I can't say if satisfied or not. On the how satisfied question, I wish I would include Not Applicable. I don't think it is right to ask this question if you haven't had to deal with getting reimbursed, that is the real test of your company.

We had always been buying more costly travel protection plans through travel agents but online purchase is less expensive & quite convenience. Had recommended nationwide to a few friends already. Luckily, we did not file any claims so cannot comment on the claim process.

I have been buying travel insurance here for years, although it is my first time using it for claim due the luggage lost/damage caused by the airline company. After talking to the claim center, I received the email with detailed instructions regarding the necessary documents. After getting all these documents emailed, I received an auto reply saying that the processing time would be about 15 business days. However, on the 8th business day after I sent all claim documents, I just received the check in the mail. Super efficiency that I am so impressed! I knew that I purchased travel insurances from other companies here mostly based on the price, some terms sometimes say processing would take up to 25 days. I must say Nationalwide is doing a fantastic job! I will purposely look for Nationawide for insuring my next trip for sure!
