Although I received everything for that my claim covered, it was a slow process.

I will never *not* get travel insurance. We had a Covid scare [possible exposure] shortly before leaving town; also, we missed one connection (which, oddly, got us a reduced fare). So while I never had to file a claim, I sure slept better knowing we could have.

I called the company with a concern about a possible travel issue. Fortunately, I didn't need to file a claim, but I was impressed with the representative. He clearly explained the benefit available.

I didn't need it, but felt safer having extra coverage, since I was driving into Canada.

Purchased plan to be reimbursed for cruise ports if missed. Plan did not cover this and was I not given the proper information before purchasing the policy that this was not covered. Very disappointed. Will purchase future policy with another company that has covered this in the past.

    Thank you for your feedback. You did purchase the Nationwide Essentials policy which does not cover missed ports. However, coverage for missed ports would have been provided under one of the Nationwide Cruise plans.

    Customer Care is available to assist you by phone at 800-487-4722, or by chat, Monday - Friday, 7am-12am EST and Saturday - Sunday, 9am-9pm EST.
