In business since 1926, Nationwide focuses on providing the best possible service for its customers. Nationwide travel insurance plans offer a range of innovative benefits for a variety of travel needs.
Thankfully, I did not have to use the insurance for any purpose. As most people know, you never truly know how good your insurance is until you must use it; it is then that you find out how easy it is to use and what exactly they will cover. So, I can't really say how good it was. The ratings would be more useful coming from people who actually had to use it for some reason. I can only say that I felt more comfortable traveling by myself knowing that I had insurance which I believed would cover me if the worst happened.

As no one ever plans their delay - buying insurance is tricky. Seriously they emphasized all big words and promises to cover everything from departures to return home as long as cruise was part of the trip
We had a 2 days before and after cruise in Barcelona. And American Air canceled the flight for 24+ hour to final destination
Nationwide did not covered misses tour (because it wasn’t part of cruise) nor did they covered first night of the hotel charges that we have missed
Note to myself: Read, read, READ your policy and remember that insurance is a business and not your friend

Upon receiving your review, we assigned an "Anytime Advocate" to look into your claim. Nationwide has now confirmed that they processed your claim under Trip Delay and sent you a partial payment letter. Apparently your missed tour and hotel were not reimbursed because those prepaid expenses were not covered under the Trip Delay benefit as stated below:
"TRIP DELAY - The Company will reimburse You for Covered Expenses on a one-time basis, up to the Maximum Benefit shown on the
Confirmation of Coverage, if You are delayed, while coverage is in effect, en route to or from the Trip for six (6) or more hours due to a defined Hazard.
Covered Expenses:
(a) Any Additional Expenses incurred;
(b) A one-way Economy Fare to return You to Your originally scheduled return destination."
Nationwide next reviewed your request for payment under the Trip Interruption benefit. Sometimes a missed expense may be covered under Trip Interruption even it was not covered under Trip Delay. Unfortunately, the circumstance did not qualify for one of the covered perils under the Trip Interruption benefit.
It is never pleasant to have your claim denied. Hopefully this explanation will guide you to a future purchases.
