    My trip was canceled due to two things my brother’s death in another state that I was in charge of and my companion got Covid the weekend that we were supposed to leave. I have provided your company with all the necessary paperwork but yet have not heard a word, or received my money back.

    Fortunately, we experienced no issues regarding our trip and did not need to file a claim. Travel insurance provided peace of mind.

    Due to issues with our phone carrier Verizon while traveling in Mexico, we had difficulty accessing the 800 numbers provided by Nationwide Mutual Insurance for assistance. After eventually reaching them, they indicate that other customers have encountered reaching their customer service department when traveling internationally. I recommend that they provide a non-800 phone number (similar to their emergency number) to reach their customer service depart when this situation arises for their customers.

    I am still waiting for claim processing. I had to call to get confirmation that I had a claim number. I filed my claim via email and within days of cruise cancellation due flooding in my arrival city which closed the airport forcing our flight to return to departure city. The lack of communication and length of time for processing from National is frustrating. I hope to find out that my claim is approved and I get a refund soon.

    Took a long time. Weak communication. I sent two batches of documents. In the second batch I included all expenses outlining those that were reimbursed, and by how much and those that were not down to the penny. I did receive full coverage of expenses not reimbursed. That was good news. However, I had no idea that my claim was approved until I went to my PO Box and found the check. It would have been extremely helpful to know that "the check was in the mail". Additionally, my travel partner has not received her benefit to this date. National requested that my travel partner's documents that had already been submitted be submitted as if they had not already received them.

    I called and asked for a cover letter stating the basics of cruise and COVID coverage and they immediately emailed me one to be able to quickly show cruise ship.

    I am very disappointed thus far with Nationwide- I am trying to set up an account online to place a claim and getting an error message. As well, I did not notice I have $150/ day limit. That is not even close to expenses when a flight is canceled and I have to pay for hotel and meals.

    Claims representatives at CBP have been professional & helpful but online claims form was very problematic.

    Review Updated: 02/25/2023

    We had some issues initially with the on-line claim form which necessitated several additional emails with attachments, and it was not clear early on exactly what information was required to process the claim. But with some help with a service rep, we received good information on what had arrived and what was still needed. Later, there was a bit of the "left hand not knowing what the right hand was doing" business: a day or so after we received an email that the claim couldn't be processed until an interrupted trip form was completed - this coming more than five weeks after the initial filing (which really got my dander up) - the checks to pay the claim arrived in the mail.

    On the other hand, we had two lengthy conversations with two different customer service people. Both were unfailingly polite, pleasant and helpful. One person was named Dave and the other Rebecca. We were also satisfied with the settlement, which seemed fair and in keeping with the terms of the policy. The time to process the claim was roughly six weeks, which was within the parameters we expected.

    Undeterred by the collapse of this Costa Rica trip, we are taking an Odyssey tour to Spain and Portugal in April and have again decided to insure the trip through Nationwide. We are hoping for better outcomes this time . . .

    Nationwide is not customer oriented and it showed. I would never use them for travel insurance again.
