We were told after we filed our claim that the maximum benefit they could give us was $300.00 Our expenses were more than that for the extra day. We paid almost that much for the insurance, so I guess we almost broke even. It was very difficult to file a claim. I spent hours doing it as I am no computer expert and it was hard to provide all the receipts. I don't think it was worth it in the long run.

C&F Travel Insured International
Worldwide Trip Protector
I am very disappointed with C&F Travel Insured International. I fractured my ankle while on vacation, an unstable bimalleolar ankle fracture that needed surgery, but when I contacted them for assistance to return home early I was told I would have to cover the cost (between $6,000-$11,000) and then their medical professionals would determine if it was considered an emergency to them thereby qualifying for reimbursement. Unfortunately they would not or could not tell me if it was an emergency to them until after I was home.
As I opted not to chance the added expense of the high prices to come home early, (risking delayed surgery), I attempted to make the best of it by renting a wheelchair to be pushed around town. However, again I was told it was not covered unless I had a doctor's prescription. Unfortunately at that point I had moved on with our itinerary and was no longer in contact with the Emergency Room Physician.
Of course, it goes without saying that the taxi from the Emergency Room to hotel, the taxi to go one block from hotel to a scheduled shuttle, and the taxi to get the wheelchair delivered wasn't even considered.
I truly feel I was in a bait and switch situation with the airfare (my own airline to get home early was $3000 with my own search) and C&F Travel Insured would do anything not to pay out in assisting me during a personal crisis.

I had to file a claim when AA canceled my flight a few hours before my trip. I contacted C&F Travel Insured, and after my cruise l sent in the paperwork needed. It took about a month, but I received a call today stating l would have a check in about a week. Amid the COVID-19 outbreak, l think that is a wonderful turn around. Thank you!

I will use Insure my Trip/Nationwide Insurance from now on! I paid for an expensive trip to Thailand in February. I already had some reservations due to the corona virus but decided to push through anyway. The day before I was to leave, my daughter injured herself. I promptly canceled trip and contacted Nationwide. The customer service rep was a little “snarly” with me but They emailed me the paperwork. It was easy to read and fill out by the doctor and myself. I promptly submitted and they promptly paid the claim.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance

If anyone thinks that "Nationwide is on your side", think again. I bought a travel insurance policy for a cruise in February. It was the Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company Essential plan. There were 5 of us on the policy. We traveled to Montreal International Airport in two cars from Plattsburgh N.Y. There was a terrible accident and one of our cars was caught behind the wreck. My family members helped comfort the victims at the accident scene until the ambulances arrived. They ended up missing the flight. They went back to Plattsburgh and caught a flight the following night to make the cruise. When we returned from the trip I called the company who handles the claims for Nationwide. I explained what happened and right from the start, the agent tried to talk his way out of paying any of the benefits. First he said that I would need a copy of the accident report. I told him that the accident was in Canada and that our party was not involved. After going back and forth with the agent over the phone, he agreed that the flight booked the next day to get to the ship was covered under the plan. I sent him all of the paper work he needed. About three weeks later, I received an e-mail stating that I would need an accident report or an article from a Canadian newspaper. I called and explained again the the accident was in another country and we had no idea where to get one. The agent said that he would try to "Google it" to see if he could find it. On March 24th, I received three $150.00 checks with the notation that the total flight cost exceeds the maximum benefit allowed for a trip delay per person. The policy clearly states that the cost of a flight to get to to the desired location is covered. I have a family member who is a lawyer and is going to assist me in filing a complaint with the New York State Department of Financial Services. He said the policy is ambiguous and misleading. The flight cost was a total of $920.00 for the three passengers. I will continue to provide updates when they happen. With all of the problems that everyone is facing right now, you would think that a company of this size would do the right thing. ATTENTION, I called Insuremytrip to see if their Anytime Advocates program could help me out. Their customer care representative stated that Nationwide is one company that they can not help me because of an agreement with them,.

Due to Coronavirus, I purchased "Cancel for Any Reason" plan for my honeymoon trip for "just in case".
I canceled a week prior to my trip (to be on the safe side), I submitted my claim with all asked documents the same day I canceled everything. I received a refund check for 75% of whatever cost that was not refunded to me by airline/agency after 3 weeks. Highly recommend this company.

Reading the plan at home, we needed better knowledge about whether the plan offered complete return of money if the trip had been cancelled in the beginning or close to the end. MAKE THE POLICY MUCH CLEARER AS TO THE MONEY RETURNED IF TRIP CANCELLED OR CANCELLED NIN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRIP
