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.
Fortunately, all went smoothly. We consider travel insurance a necessary travel expense because so much is out of one's control - an adventure can turn into a mess with little to no warning.

I paid extra $1,300 for my flight from London to Manila with Air China because my original flight with Shenzhen Airlines ($999) was postponed for the next day. It was a Sunday, their office was closed, have tried calling them, I even went to the airport but Shenzhen Air didn't have any representative there. I wanted to explain to them that I won't make it to my connecting flight in Bao'an China if I take their postponed flight.
Nationwide paid only $600 for the new flight that I paid after Shenzhen messed up everything for mine and my husband's flight.

This plan was a waste to purchase. We missed a port on our cruise due to a national strike in France and never even went to France. Nationwide insurance would not count missing a port as trip interruption even though it was beyond our control . The cruiseline made the call, not us. And it was the main reason why we booked this trip. I had to go back and forth with them for months, providing documentation and receipts just to have them reject our claim. It was very frustrating. I'm considering just not buying insurance next time because it's not honored.

Grumble, grumble,
I filed a claim for an Interrupted trip in May. NW requested additional info on July 9, 2022. I sent the info the next day. On Aug 22 I called and they confirmed that they had the info but the 60 day processing clock restarts with the additional info. Called again today 9/9/22 and the claim has not been processed. They will label for "Expedited audit" which should take 2-3 more weeks. I have purchased several Luxury Cruise policies and NW customer treatment is very poor. Once they get the additional info the clock should not start over. I am booking another cruise next week. Can you recommend a company with a comparable policy that has better customer service?
Thx
UPDATE Dec 6, 2022
My original claim was denied so I filed an appeal. On October 10 they asked for further documentation. I supplied the info on October 12th. As of Dec 6th I still do not have a disposition. I called Coordinated Benefits Plan (CPB) for an update and their systems have been down for two days. How is this any way to run a business?
UDATE Dec 7, 20022
CBP computers down for a 3rd day. They took my phone number and said they would call me when systems are back up. I decided to call Nationwide Customer Relations and opened a complaint. The agent will notify the proper insurance group at Nationwide of the delays and will call me back within two days. Stay tuned.
Final update 12/8/2022
Received an email from CBP that my claim will be paid in full. It shouldn't take 9 months to resolve a simple claim such as this one. At this point it is not delays related to the Covid shut down. Maybe they should have an Operations Mgr look at their workflow. Happy Holidays...

They state on their website they are refunding for canceled trips without claims due to Covid. It is been 10 weeks and I have not received anything except excuses. I will not purchase from them again.

I am happy to see that Nationwide did refund your premium. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic and current climate of traveling this request did take much longer than usual.
We hope you will reach out to us at InsureMyTrip for future travel insurance needs.
