Plan seemed to be all encompassing for our potential needs. Fortunately we did not have any issues.

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.

The whole point of insurance is peace of mind. I only purchase insurance for big trips (expense, time away) and the insurance did exactly what I needed: It provided peace of mind. My wife and I are home, trip was great and the insurance was never used. Peace of mind provided and all good.

Top notch service from the point of first inquiry when disrupted due to Hurricane Dorian until the final claim was process and paid. This service was a great investment to reduce worries due to delay or disruption!

    Thank you for your review. Nationwide, as do all insurance providers, do require written proof of a theft loss which could be provided by local authorities or an airline if applicable. They may also require copies of receipts.

We were fortunate that our trip went as smoothly as could possibly be expected, and we did not have to utilize the plan we purchased. That said, it gave us peace of mind we wouldn't have had otherwise, which was worth a lot, given our financial (and emotional) investment in the trip we planned.

I can only vouch that the insurance premiums for the coverage is a very good value. Having travel insurance provides much peace of mind. However, a truly valid review is one from a customer who has filed a claim with Nationwide, and I have not.

It's impossible to evaluate how the plan did if I didn't use it. However, being an insurance agent & having more than the average guy's familiarity with insurance, I have found Nationwide to be the best & most reasonably priced policy to choose. Should I ever have a claim I assume they'll come thru for me. If not, they'll be dealing with a formidable opponent. Thank you.

thankful to have coverage (just in case) and even more thankful not needing to use it. Peace of mind is what I would call having Travel Insurance. :-)
Thanks,

Plan covered my needs for the trip. Since I did not need to file a claim, I cannot comment on the claim process.
