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.

I did not file a claim as there were no trip delays or family emergencies but there was comfort knowing a plan was available should one have occurred. The only reason for 3 stars was I do not if I would have been satisfied or dissatisfied with company service since no claim was filed.

Quality of plan can only truly and honestly be reviewed if one has to use it. Fortunately our trip went perfectly without the need to use or test the insurance coverage.

I didn't file a claim thereby some of your questions are not relevant. You need to add an N/A option

Had to cancel trip due to jury duty and the claim was handled promptly without the unnecessary back and forth and resending of stuff that I experienced with a different company a few years back.

I sent one email with attached documentation; they contacted me after a week or so by phone and email to request a receipt I had not included. I sent that and when I emailed for follow-up after around 2 weeks, they phoned to tell me the check had already been mailed. From the time I contacted them for the forms to the day I received a check was exactly 1 month.

The only suggestion I would have for them is to provide a link for claimants to access the forms online. You have to email them for the forms and that takes about a week. Not a huge deal but would be nice. Would definitely use them again.
DIANNE D. would recommend this plan to a friend or relative.
