We were part of the Southwest airline debacle and ended up having to rent a car and drive 16 hours to make our cruise. This insurance was essentially useless for that purpose. We called ahead and got zero help. Nothing is guaranteed until you file a claim. Nothing is covered until you leave your house the day of your travel. It was a total waste of money. Not sure what is actually covered.

Always wise to have insurance and not need to use it, then it is to need insurance and not hjave it.

Wow! It is a time-consuming, complicated and convoluted process to fill a simple claim. LOTS of hoops to jump through.

I never needed to file a claim. However, I did have to change my travel dates. This insurance was very accommodating.

We did not have any issues so I have no experience with the claims process. However, the policy provided all the coverage we needed at a competitive price. Communication was quick and efficient.

Fortunately I did not have a claim for this trip but Nationwide has been very good about changes to my trips so felt comfortable using them this time.

This is the first time we have ever bought trip insurance,and the only reason why I did is because we were traveling to San Francisco from Wisconsin to get on a cruise ship. The way the airlines have been having problems I didn’t want to get stranded somewhere and miss the ship and lose out on all that money.So basically it was for piece of mind.We never had to make a claim on it so do not know how that would have worked out it with did.

Didn't need to use it so hard to say how well it worked. But that's a good thing.
