I had to file a claim when AA canceled my flight a few hours before my trip. I contacted C&F Travel Insured, and after my cruise l sent in the paperwork needed. It took about a month, but I received a call today stating l would have a check in about a week. Amid the COVID-19 outbreak, l think that is a wonderful turn around. Thank you!

I will use Insure my Trip/Nationwide Insurance from now on! I paid for an expensive trip to Thailand in February. I already had some reservations due to the corona virus but decided to push through anyway. The day before I was to leave, my daughter injured herself. I promptly canceled trip and contacted Nationwide. The customer service rep was a little “snarly” with me but They emailed me the paperwork. It was easy to read and fill out by the doctor and myself. I promptly submitted and they promptly paid the claim.

If anyone thinks that "Nationwide is on your side", think again. I bought a travel insurance policy for a cruise in February. It was the Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company Essential plan. There were 5 of us on the policy. We traveled to Montreal International Airport in two cars from Plattsburgh N.Y. There was a terrible accident and one of our cars was caught behind the wreck. My family members helped comfort the victims at the accident scene until the ambulances arrived. They ended up missing the flight. They went back to Plattsburgh and caught a flight the following night to make the cruise. When we returned from the trip I called the company who handles the claims for Nationwide. I explained what happened and right from the start, the agent tried to talk his way out of paying any of the benefits. First he said that I would need a copy of the accident report. I told him that the accident was in Canada and that our party was not involved. After going back and forth with the agent over the phone, he agreed that the flight booked the next day to get to the ship was covered under the plan. I sent him all of the paper work he needed. About three weeks later, I received an e-mail stating that I would need an accident report or an article from a Canadian newspaper. I called and explained again the the accident was in another country and we had no idea where to get one. The agent said that he would try to "Google it" to see if he could find it. On March 24th, I received three $150.00 checks with the notation that the total flight cost exceeds the maximum benefit allowed for a trip delay per person. The policy clearly states that the cost of a flight to get to to the desired location is covered. I have a family member who is a lawyer and is going to assist me in filing a complaint with the New York State Department of Financial Services. He said the policy is ambiguous and misleading. The flight cost was a total of $920.00 for the three passengers. I will continue to provide updates when they happen. With all of the problems that everyone is facing right now, you would think that a company of this size would do the right thing. ATTENTION, I called Insuremytrip to see if their Anytime Advocates program could help me out. Their customer care representative stated that Nationwide is one company that they can not help me because of an agreement with them,.

Due to Coronavirus, I purchased "Cancel for Any Reason" plan for my honeymoon trip for "just in case".
I canceled a week prior to my trip (to be on the safe side), I submitted my claim with all asked documents the same day I canceled everything. I received a refund check for 75% of whatever cost that was not refunded to me by airline/agency after 3 weeks. Highly recommend this company.

Reading the plan at home, we needed better knowledge about whether the plan offered complete return of money if the trip had been cancelled in the beginning or close to the end. MAKE THE POLICY MUCH CLEARER AS TO THE MONEY RETURNED IF TRIP CANCELLED OR CANCELLED NIN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRIP

We got insurance to help cover issues, which luckily didn't come up. But it was good to have peace of mind in case we needed to use it!

The website was down for weeks and phone calls were not answered. When I did reach them, I was promised an email with a link to file a claim. They could not send the form to file by email or USPS. I never received an email. Very poor service and disastrous that they had no backup plan for an IT failure of this magnitude.

We booked a trip Feb. 12, 2020 and purchased insurance Feb. 14, 2020. Due to the corona virus we canceled the trip. We called Travelex to make a claim.. The Travelex agent told us the corona virus was NOT a covered reason for trip cancellation, so they would not make any payment.
