In business since 1926, Nationwide focuses on providing the best possible service for its customers. Nationwide travel insurance plans offer a range of innovative benefits for a variety of travel needs.
The tragic events of October 7, 2023 and ongoing conflict contributed to the decision by my travel operator to cancel the trip to Israel. Nationwide said that because the tour operator didn’t cancel within the first 30 days of the “terrorist event” that no coverage existed. No tour operator has given tours in Israel since October 7 so that was just a way for Nationwide to avoid any liability. Later when I appealed, they shifted to saying it was a declared “war” despite the fact that Gaza isn’t a “country”. I've used Nationwide over 10 years and only had one other claim and that took months to settle. Buyer beware when traveling to any part of the world that has ongoing civil or military events. Most trip insurance will either not cover the “terrorist” or “war” claim or find a way not to pay the claim using word salad or creative interpretations to avoid payment. Fortunately after all of this, the tour operator refunded our trip deposit and British Airways provided a reasonable time frame to use the value of the air tickets to take another trip.

I purchased a $4000 coverage plan for my trip to Israel. Unfortunately, a terrorist attack occurred, followed by a war outbreak. For safety reasons, the travel provider canceled the trip. My travel insurance, however, refused to cover the $500 non-refundable deposit I paid. They cited that the 33-day gap between the attack and the scheduled departure date exceeded their 30-day limit for coverage. This is extremely frustrating given that the conflict is still ongoing, and I am left as an innocent party affected by these circumstances.

We sent in everything that was requested and only recieved 1/10th of our modest claim! VERY DISSATISFIED and will NOT EVER recommend anyone to use you!

I appreciated email reminders about my trip coming up. Because of Covid requirements our group trip was rescheduled. I was able to change the date for my insurance coverage as well as add additional coverage for a potential Covid sickness that would require days in a hotel in a foreign country. Thankfully I did not need to fill out a claim, but my traveling companion got Covid and had to stay in a Covid hotel for 5 nights, so it can happen. Thanks for the peace of mind insurance, flexibility and responsiveness to email and voice communications.

As always, InsureMyTrip was great! I needed a letter from Nationwide stating I was covered for COVID to enter Israel, and they helped get the letter quickly.
