While the true test of an insurance policy/company comes with filing a claim, thankfully I did not have the misfortune of having to try it out. However, based on coverage needs at a competitive cost we choose Nationwide for almost all our travels.

I tried to put in a claim for a baggage delay on my outbound flight and was told that the insurance only covers only inbound flights. This is distressing to me since my baggage delay occurred within the timeframe of the trip. I am still without my luggage almost three days after arriving home. I should be reimbursed for items I have had to purchase due to delay.

This was my first time purchasing this type of insurance for my child. I had many questions and the travel representatative was so helpful answering all of them. I would highly encourage you to call if you have any questions and you will have peace of mind when traveling or when your loved one is traveling.

Kind of hard to review when I didn't need to file a claim but I appreciated the email updates & all seemed in good order...

Luggage was lost for over 24 hours on the return trip and it wasn't covered. Blah!

Thank you for your feedback on your policy. We are sorry to hear that you had a baggage delay on your return journey.
It is industry standard to cover baggage delay on the outward journey only to reimburse you for the expense of necessary personal effects while you are traveling.
Please call us at 800-487-4722 if you have any questions or concerns.

Did not have to make a claim, thank goodness, so can’t speak to claims process. But reasonably priced coverage.

We had to cancel our trip due to my husbands illness. It took them about 4 weeks after we got the paperwork to them for us to get money back. Very happy with everyone I talked to with questions..
