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.
The response time from Nationwide is horrible. It is a minimum of 3 weeks to get a response via email. When I finally got my claim approved after SEVERAL months, the amount received was less than what we claimed with no explanation given. Avoid Nationwide at all costs. It will save you a lot of headaches, stress, and time.

You never know about any insurance plan until you have to use it. We did. We had to cancel a cruise due to an unexpected medical event. I put the claim in and it was paid out in full. So, what's the problem? We knew *nothing* about the status of the claim until the check(s) arrived in the post! In this age of fast communications, something as simple as an email to let us know what was going on would have been sufficient.

This review should be titled "You know how to write the insurance, you just don't know how to service it". During a recent cruise my wife required some non-emergency medical attention. when I returned from the trip three days ago I attempted to call this company to notify them of this claim. They tell you via a recorded message , that due to extremely high volume, you should either mail or email information to them or use their website. I emailed them 3 days ago and have not heard anything since. I attempted to use their website, filling in all required information in an attempt to obtain a claims form, but after doing that received a message that "this form is not available for download". Another call to their toll free number told me to press one in order to obtain a claims form, but that resulted in me being disconnected. So this company was extremely efficient at accepting my premium dollars, but when it comes to speaking to someone regarding actually submitting a claim, they are not to be found. I'll try to follow this up at a later date to update on any progress, but so far, count me as a very dissatisfied customer. Should someone contact me and pay this claim, I'll be glad to adjust my ratings.
Revised 4/03/2023. I was finally able to obtain the form to submit the claim. I sent them all of the documentation that they asked for. It took about one week until I received an acknowledgment that the claim had been received. After that, it took approximately three more weeks until I received the check for the full amount of my claim without any quibbling . So, aside from the initial delay in communication, they have handled this claim satisfactorily and I would now recommend this plan.

My wife got injured two weeks before our scheduled cruise. I submitted all the paperwork and documents as requested online. Never had to talk to a person. We received the refund checks 3 weeks after submittal and got everything we asked for since we had the documentation. Thanks to Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company for the very quick response and positive outcome. I have already purchased another plan from them for our next trip based on the response for the last one.

Nationwide is a good insurance carrier, while I didn't need to use the policy, being an insurance agent, gave me confidence in the plan and carrier backing it up.

I had to cancel a trip due to an injury 2 weeks before I was due to leave. It was a group trip with hotel, daily transport to ski areas, airfare and other items. I showed documentation for airfare not being refundable and all my payments. Within 3 weeks I had my check. The representative called me with one question. She was polite and understood my claim once we spoke. I am more than satisfied.
