I called to ask for a definition of ‘Extreme sport’ As was told scuba diving was considered as such. Won’t buy from this company again

    Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We are sorry to learn that you are dissatisfied with the plan.

    Not all plans will cover you while scuba diving. This particular policy excludes the following: "scuba diving unless accompanied by a dive master or if the depth
    exceeds fifty (50) feet"

    In the future, please consider calling us prior to purchase to discuss the plan exclusions. We strongly recommend customers read the terms and conditions of the policy within the review period to determine if the policy fits your needs. If the policy does not fit your needs, it can be cancelled within the review period for a refund of premium. Please call us at 800-487-4722 if you have any questions or concerns.

This plan gave us peace of mind at a reasonable cost. With an extended family of kids and grandkids, and the Flu near epidemic proportions, we could rest assured that we could cancel the trip without penalty costs, if any of us had been sick.

I have used Nationwide plans for cruises and vacations out of the US and have coverage for another upcoming trip. I will not travel without Nationwide coverage in the future.

I always turn to InsureMyTrip.com when seeking travel insurance. They have multiple plans to meet every need and my plan with Nationwide was one such plan. Very happy to find a great insurance plan at a great price.
