Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
Do have a concern - had a potential claim for delayed luggage (did not meet full criteria so was not covered), but when calling Nationwide at the number "For Filing a Claim" on the policy sent to me by InsuremyTrip (888-490-7606) the rep could find no record of my policy, and more concerning no record of me even though I have purchased more than one Nationwide policy through InsuremyTrip. The rep said she was with Trawick and that my policy # should be all numeric, but mine was alpha-numeric starting with "NWE." Because I have purchased other policies for future travel, I want to be sure that InsuremyTrip is passing along all the correct info to me and to Nationwide in the event I do have a claim on a future trip. Who can help resolve that as to why the Cust Svc # with Nationwide has no record of my policies? Thank you.

    Dear Valued Customer,

    We thank you for your feedback. We hope you enjoyed your vacation.

    InsureMyTrip.com and Nationwide are actively looking into the reason why you were misdirected upon contacting claims to prevent it from happening to other customers. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Thankfully no claims but felt secure if something did happen and we needed this coverage.

Great insurance coverage at a great price. I have another Nationwide policy for a cruise we have booked for next year (actually rebooked multiple times due to COVID), they transferred the policy each time it was rescheduled with such ease. I will always use Nationwide through Insuremytrip.com.

The lady who helped me buy the coverage was pleasant and listened to my needs. Fortunately I didn’t need to file a claim but I traveled more confidently knowing I was covered with

The Essentials plan that we purchased covered all the things we thought were essential, and at a reasonable price. I have bought this insurance before, and will buy it again. Nationwide has good reviews, and is the insurance company that underwrites insurance on the cruise line that I use as well. I can only get the plan I like by going through InsureMyTrip, and I have had good experiences dealing with them. I was able to change my insurance several times, as I had to change my trip plans due to COVID. Overall, I recommend both InsureMyTrip and Nationwide.

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

With all the problems with COVID-19 this company went the extra mile and showed me just how great their business really is. I will return business and let everyone I know to use this company.
