Nationwide communicated with me just before my trip to remind me of how to contact them if needed, as well as after my trip to be sure everything went well. While I did not need to use my insurance, I appreciated knowing they were there.

Never buying it again, would not cover refunding son's portion of an excursion due to him being injured the evening before while on an excursion, told me to not even bother making a claim. In advance of making the purchase, they said not being able to make an excursion for ANY reason would be covered, then after they hid behind their fancy language and said it was only covered if the parties could not continue on the ENTIRE vacation, not just the one excursion. I asked a LOT of detailed question in advance because we were buying 2 very expensive excursions directly from the vendor, vs through the cruise line and making sure the excursions were covered was one of the key items we wanted to confirm.

Thank you for your review. All policies have listed covered reasons in which you can file a claim for reimbursement and they require documentation in order to be able to file a claim. In the event of an injury, or sickness, that affects a traveler and the trip you will need documentation from a doctor and documentation from your travel supplier showing how the trip was affected. In the future, we suggest contacting us or the assistance center if something happens while traveling and we can best assist you with understanding what to do. We look forward to assisting you in the future.Feb 12,2020

Ability to add coverage for Airbnb rental was a plus.

It would be nice to have a policy without the medical component when traveling within the US. My health insurance covers me and all I needed was trip cancellation, trip interruption, lost baggage coverages.

Fortunately, I did not need to file a claim; however, having the piece of mind of knowing that I could recover much of my travel expense if something bad occurred with one of my or my wife's aging parents while we were in travel status was well worth the price of the policy.

Fortunately we did not need the insurance and had a great trip. This insurance gives me a lot of peace of mind for a reasonable price.

The best component of the policy was that it did NOT have to be used on the trip. ?

We didn’t have to use the plan so I can’t address the claims process. However, benefits and terms were easy to access on the website and the prices were very competitive.

Easy, quick and customer service was great, even though I didn't need to file a claim. We will use for our next Europe Trip.
