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.
I purchased a policy through Insure My Trip with Nationwide Mutual for cruise and flight coverage. I had to file a claim in September due to the fact that my cruise was canceled by the supplier due to staffing and supply chain issues as this was a brand new ship.
I contacted them to inform them that the cruise line had canceled my cruise and I needed to know the steps to take to file a claim. I was instructed to provide the cancellation letter from the cruise line plus provide the flight information. I informed them that I had not canceled the flight yet because I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to and I was told to do so and send over all of the information to the claims department. I waited patiently for several only to be told that there was a submission error so resubmitted everything for a second time, the first week of October.
On Oct. 20, 2023, my claim was denied stating that the reason for cancellation was not covered. How is that possible when the cruise line canceled my cruise. I resubmitted an appeal the same day only to now be told, on Nov. 7th that my claim is still denied even though I submitted everything and didn’t cancel my trip due to my own personal reasons. They claim that I’m not entitled for compensation. I only filed a claim for the flight and yet I can’t get reimbursed even though the claims department told me to cancel the flight.
I feel as though this is a trick to keep them from paying on claims. I’ve reported them to the insurance board of my state because this isn’t fair. I don’t recommend this insurance company at all.

recommend this plan to a friend or relative.
Overall the process is simple to navigate, but slow due to the excusive email approach. There should be a phone number easily accessible to provide a more person service.
