We were unable to go in the trip because I was diagnosed with breast cancer; I needed surgery and started treatments shortly thereafter. Nationwide processed our claim very promptly and refunded the cost of our trip. We truly appreciate their service concerning this claim.

While fortunately i did not need to implement my plan, it was a huge peace of mind knowing I had coverage. My trip was physically demanding and also not easily accessible (Grand Canyon) so I was reassured I was covered if something happened in the canyon. My friend had the same plan and had to cancel early before the trip due to injury. She had no issues with getting her refunds.

I did not file a claim so I have no knowledge of how Nationwide would process a claim. I chose this policy because it was the only comprehensive coverage that did not require mandatory life insurance coverage, something that is not necessary for me.

What can I say? Insurance is a necessary evil and I had to purchase a policy. This one was adequate and served my needs. I think insurance rates are always too high and that is why the companies can build the biggest buildings with their profits and the consumers struggle to pay all their bills.

It took two months to resolve a claim for just over $250, way too long and it required multiple phone calls to follow up.

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 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.
