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 $4000 coverage plan for my trip to Israel. Unfortunately, a terrorist attack occurred, followed by a war outbreak. For safety reasons, the travel provider canceled the trip. My travel insurance, however, refused to cover the $500 non-refundable deposit I paid. They cited that the 33-day gap between the attack and the scheduled departure date exceeded their 30-day limit for coverage. This is extremely frustrating given that the conflict is still ongoing, and I am left as an innocent party affected by these circumstances.

We purchased Nationwide travel insurance for a 3 week European vacation. We needed to file for trip delay due to weather issues and then for trip interruption due to my husband falling ill and needing hospitalization in London 1week into our trip. The overseas division , On Call International, worked their magic to get us flights home. They even arranged for wheelchair service at all connecting airports. They were very responsive and kept us informed throughout the process, Once home, the claim forms were easy to fill out and if I had a question it was easy to contact representatives by phone to clarify. Charges for unused , pre paid hotels and cruise were reimbursed within 6 weeks. The only things that were not covered were my hotels and food during my husband’s hospitalization . Those are only paid if the trip is interrupted by a hazard and sickness is not considered a hazard. As I went back and read the policy I could see that was true, but sometimes you don’t know what to look for prior to purchase. I would caution, if you find yourself in the same situation, to get contact emails for doctors as they needed to fill in some parts of the forms. Medical was also included in the policy but it is secondary to your own health insurance. We needed to submit to our health insurance first and since they paid the bill in full we didn’t have to submit to Nationwide. Make sure to keep all invoices and emails to be submitted with your claim. Bottom line- I would use Nationwide again because of their excellent overseas service and quick settlement of the claims,

My claim was a little slow to process but in the end Nationwide came through nicely. The claim was all done online which was fine with me although it would have been nice to have the contact phone # of the individual working the claim. Overall I was satisfied with Nationwide.

I purchased this policy for my husband and myself on a recent cruise. We didn't need to file a claim. As such, all I can truly say is that I'm satisfied with the price I paid for the coverage options I selected. However, I feel that asking me to rate a plan I actually didn't use is somewhat misleading to future clients.
