Our cruise was cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic. We received a credit for the cruise. Nationwide is transferring our policy if we take a cruise within 18 mos from time of original purchase. I think this is very fair and I appreciate their flexibility.
canceled policy as they refused to cover expenses associated with covid-19.
Very easy to secure policy. Paula was very helpful when I called while travelling amd needed guidance on how to proceed with finding alternative return flights etc.

Although my claim was not able to be reimbursed due to it being due to Covid-19 pandemic they were were very informative and helpful
We bought trip insurance for the first time because of an International Money transfer being the only way we could pay the travel agent in Australia. We learned the conference we were going to Taiwan for was canceled 15 hours before the flight because of the Corona Virus pandemic. We therefore had no reason to go to Taiwan. Yes, the flight was still going. Yes, the bus tour was still on, but 4 full days of the trip was now open because of the conference being canceled. When we called the claims department they immediatly said we weren't covered. I understand that is the person on the front line job, say no. But after speaking to their supervisor, I got no further. No. No, they would not cover our costs of the flight, bus tour or and fee changes. No, we could not have paid more for more coverage that would cover this. No. Just no. But, yes, they would come at great expense to get us if we got sick. How does that make sense??
In speaking with Patti at the claims department, they were flooded with people calling about the worldwide health scare. Well, tough. That's the business they got into, it's their job to deal with un-forseen problems, like a pandemic. My experience was very unsatisfactory and I will not be using them again.
( Taiwan is way more prepared to handle this pandemic than the US and we should have stayed there )
After about 3 weeks I received a call requesting additional information (amount of port taxes refunded; confirmation of payment to cruise agency for cancellation fee). I faxed this to them and called in a week to confirm. They claimed the fax wasn’t received. I faxed once more and waited another 3 weeks but eventually the checks arrived. Other than the slow response ( 6 weeks), I am quite satisfied with the payments
Thank you for your concern
My flight date was changed by the carrier which caused undue hardship on me. When trying to file a claim I find there are only 2 reasons I can file due to flight cancelations. Weather or strike and that info may be hidden in fine print, but it should be made clear when buying a policy what you're getting! Not finding out after you try to use it that it's worthless for your need.
Very fast response and service.. extremely happy
Well organized, customer focused and prompt. No complaints - only praise. My mother and my sister took out travel insurance from other companies for the same trip. My claim was paid promptly by Nationwide. Their claims are still in limbo 4 months later.
Called after trip interruption and was sent forms, I have been involved with a bunch on medical appointments and will be putting in the claims soon.
I forgot about submitting a claim. I had two issues. They lost my suitcase for 30 hours so I had to spend $50 for an outfit for one day as I waited for suitcase to arrive. When I arrived home I noticed my suitcase front pocket was torn to shreds so it no longer closes. Can I submit a claim to you for both of these?
