We are Progressive Insurance clients and have had no need to claim but felt comfortable enough to trust our choice in Nationwide.

I did not have to file a claim, so I don't have direct knowledge of how that goes. But there were several times during the trip when I consciously thought about the protection this policy afforded us and relaxed into enjoying my trip all the more.

Glad we didn't use it, but comforting to know it was in place.

Every Insurance plan looks good before you need to use it. When it's needed you really get to see what the company is all about. I wIll NEVER chose this company for travel insurance again. My father passed away and we were unable to take the trip we planned. This company just compounded our grief several-fold. Nationwide strung out the claim process, asking repeatedly for information that I wasn't even asking reimbursement for ( airline tickets). Icelandic air reimbursed me within 3 days when I called to cancel the flight due to my fathers death. They did not have to do that but they did. I never requested airline reimbursement from Nationwide. I was assured 2x's with my phone calls and inquiries that they had everything they required and the claim was being processed, and being reviewed by an adjuster. Today the day the check was to be mailed, low and behold another email asking for an airline agreement. Today I was feed up and called INSUREMYTRIP to be my advocate, they contacted the insurers rep and guess what, they again requested the airline agreement that isn't required. Always buy your travel insurance through this agent, then if problems arise you have an advocate. Chose a different provider than Nationwide. As a side note, my fathers life insurance policies all paid before this travel insurance policy.

The coverage was OK but we were tripped up by the small print. READ IT. READ IT, READ IT, BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER TRAVEL. In middle of trip to Europe one of our party (all vaccinated and boosted) contracted mild Covid. CDC and local health recommendations stated "if you test positive on a lateral flow test but do not feel very ill, self isolate to protect yourself and others and do not travel or mix closely with people in public places until you have most likely cleared the infection, 5 days later, or subsequent tests prove negative. Unless you feel very ill, there is no need to see a doctor". We followed this official advice, canceled one flight and rebooked another for later as well as incurred hotel and other expenses. Assumed this would be covered by Trip Interruption protection. It was not. Despite what official sources say, the insurance policy required a doctor's visit (easy getting an appointment in a pandemic, huh?), a PCR test and an official letter from the doctor advising you not to travel. We did not do this and it cost us about six hundred dollars in change fees, hotel and incidentals. This simply underscores why you should always read the policy carefully to make sure in an emergency you are complying 100% with the policy's terms; common sense is not a substitute for rigid compliance. After a phone call to the claims department I concluded that filing a claim was simply a waste of time . Note: I don't think this is specific to Nationwide.

We filed a claim that took a long time to process (due to lots of COVID-19 claims being filed), but the company kept us informed about the process and why there was a delay. Also, the claims process was fairly easy. They reimbursed us for the entire claim. I would use them again.

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...

Neither Nationwide nor InsureMyTrip wish to make this process so very difficult especially during such a difficult time.
We are glad to know that a Customer Advocate was able to assist you on your claim and confirm with Nationwide that your check was mailed. If we can be of further assistance, please let us know.
