I did not have to file a claim or use the policy but the peace of mind having it while I was abroad is priceless. Of course, had I needed to invoke any of the coverage, the ease or difficulty of doing so could change my opinion.

Thankfully we did not have to use the coverage. Our trip was wonderful and knowing we had insurance made us enjoy it worry free.

Insurance is a must to have as a back up plan in case we were exposed to COVID

Luckily I didn't have to use my plan, but I'm glad it was there. Coverage and cost of the plan for one trip are excellent. Of course, the proof is in the pudding. I will buy Nationwide plans on my upcoming trips and will comment on how easy or hard they were to use if needed. So far, highly recommend and this seems like a better choice than Allianz, for example. More coverage, less cost, better customer contact via email and phone (I did call to see if I could get though).

The travel company cancelled my trip and I rebooked for 2023. The airfare was separate so I tried to get that amount back from the insurance company. It wasn't covered as this policy does not cover if a tour company cancels - apparently you must have the 'cancel for no reason' policy. Obviously will keep that in mind for next time. The airline did give me a credit so it worked out but I was lucky.

My cruise was shortened by 3 nights prior to sailing. I provided the documentation and the insurance company refunded the prorated amount.
I did not need to file a claim so cannot speak to that.

Do have a concern - had a potential claim for delayed luggage (did not meet full criteria so was not covered), but when calling Nationwide at the number "For Filing a Claim" on the policy sent to me by InsuremyTrip (888-490-7606) the rep could find no record of my policy, and more concerning no record of me even though I have purchased more than one Nationwide policy through InsuremyTrip. The rep said she was with Trawick and that my policy # should be all numeric, but mine was alpha-numeric starting with "NWE." Because I have purchased other policies for future travel, I want to be sure that InsuremyTrip is passing along all the correct info to me and to Nationwide in the event I do have a claim on a future trip. Who can help resolve that as to why the Cust Svc # with Nationwide has no record of my policies? Thank you.
