Nationwide Mutual Insurance
Essential
Nationwide is not on your side. I booked multiple trips and purchased multiple insurance plans with Nationwide. They failed every time. They acted poorly right out of the gate - starting with not returning calls to not paying a very small claim. I worked hard to minimize any losses even though I had insurance (or so I thought). My insurance cost $218 and my claim was a mere $283. I even emailed the CEO and never heard back. Apparently their poor way of treating people starts at the top. I was shocked at how devious and cheap they were. I have used other companies that charged more but settled claims quickly, fairly and honestly. Do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere. I do like InsureMyTrip - they did try to act on my behalf.

After this experience, I will never purchase travel insurance ever again. They covered absolutely nothing. It took forever for the review process. The questions asked during the review process didn't make any sense. And after all the deal, they cover absolutely nothing. I'd heard it was a waste of money. I know what they are talking about now.

Our trip was cancelled. We were very upset that the plan didn’t consider an exception request to cancel this insurance due to corona virus outbreak. We sent that request explaining our age and a travel ban from our job. Also sent a proof of trip cancellation that we no longer needed this insurance.
We seriously consider not to use this insurance for our future trips.

Thank you for providing your feedback. Generali has offered the following response:
"We're sorry the coverage didn't meet your expectation. Unfortunately, like other insurance plans you may have, travel insurance cannot cover every event that might cause a traveler to cancel their trip. While frustrating, we want our customers to understand their coverages and what is not included, which is one reason we provide a 10-day free look so that you have extra time to review your coverages. We also want to assist you in using your policy at a later date when travel resumes. To see if you qualify, please visit generalitravel.com/voucher. for more details."May 11,2020

I am quired about the possibility of some thing being covered by the plan. I waited 75 minutes on hold the first day before I gave up and finally got to speak to a human after more than 100 minutes the next day. You should be ashamed with yourself to provide such a piss poor level of customer service

I liked this plan to cover 3 hours flight delay, but in my case I wanted insurance to cover meals when flight schedule changed. My flight changed earlier than original time , so that I missed a hotel breakfast and needed to purchase it out of my pocket. Both Air line and insurance did not cover this portion even this is not my fault.

I visited a doctor in Japan and got medication. The entire cost of the visit was less than my premium. I filled out the claim form with all the requested information, which includes a form (in the same PDF) for authorizing communication via email (note: their only communication options are email and postal mail). Their initial response came 8 days later and was to send proof I was in Japan (and would be leaving) and that I did not fill out the electronic communication waiver (what?). I replied the same day with the waiver attached and flight details.
After that I didn't hear anything from them, not even a confirmation, until I asked about it 1 month from my initial claim. 5 days later I received in postal mail an EOB that said my claim was denied for lack of documentation. Then that same day or 1 days later, I received an email saying my claim was paid by check. I received the paper check 1 week later.
Overall, I think the communication and claim process was subpar. The claim form was a non-fillable PDF that I annotated over so I didn't have to print it out and scan it. The process seems like it's designed to be difficult to use.
They don't give you any guidance on how to handle foreign languages or currencies so I had to just submit and hope they did translation/conversions (seemed to work).
The fact that they ignored their own waiver form to send me an identical waiver form and fill out again was very annoying, and the lack of communication overall really didn't sit well with me.
I can't imagine what it would have been like trying to communicate with them if I'd had anything complicated happen.

Thank you for your feedback. Even though your claim may be less than your policy premium, insurance providers still require specific documents to pay your claim. We are pleased to hear that your claim was quickly settled.Dec 31,2019-

Yes, I'm aware of the document requirement. I sent all the documents requested with the initial claim except for the airline confirmation (because it there was no indication that was needed beforehand, another example of the poor guidance on submitting a claim).
Please note that the main point of my review was slow and unclear communication. The claim was not "quickly" settled, it was settled slowly and with conflicting information, and a > 1 month period of time with no response from the company.Dec 31,2019

I selected this plan mainly because for the additional medical option it offered. The price was reasonable and luckily I had no reason to make a claim as my trip went smoothly.

We lost expensive train tickets. I called the company and was told how to file a claim and the agent told me we were covered up to $150/ per ticket. We had to repurchase the tickets for our return trip on the train.
We filed all the appropriate paperwork but the claim was denied as lost tickets aren't covered. I wish we had been told this when I called. Very disappointing to find this out after going through the process of completing paperwork.

We apologize for the confusion. Unfortunately there is no reimbursement for lost tickets as you were told by the iTravelInsured claims department. Travel providers do not like to deny a claim before reviewing all the details. Although this takes time, it is also for your protection and ensures that your claim would not be unfairly declined without first reviewing the details.
Please call us at 800-487-4722 if you have any questions or concerns.Nov 26,2019

Thank you for your review. Premiums for comprehensive policies are based largely on the length of the trip, the ages of the travelers, and the cost of the trip. Generali travel protection plans offer coverages and services not found with many flight-only insurance plans sold by airlines including coverage of your entire trip costs. Please see this article for more details: https://www.generalitravelinsurance.com/travel-resources/flight-insurance.htmlDec 03,2019
We are sorry to hear that you were unable to travel. Upon learning that your claim was deemed unpayable, we reached out to you about Nationwide making an exception to cancel the policy for a refund of premium. Nationwide needs additional information in order to determine if you meet the guidelines for a successful exception. Please contact us at 800-487-4722 for further information.
