Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
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.

    Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We appreciate you using InsureMyTrip for your travel insurance needs. We understand that it is never pleasant to receive a denial for reimbursement under the Trip Cancellation coverage. However, your reason to cancel your trip must be specifically stated as a covered reason in the policy. The Financial Default benefit only applies if the policy has been purchased within ten (10) days of Your initial payment for the Covered Trip and you insure the full cost of the Covered Trip.

    In the future, if you are looking for guidance in selecting a travel insurance plan, please consider contacting our office at 800-487-4722 where a licensed representative would be happy to assist you.

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.
