The coverage was better than that offered by the organization my son traveled with at a slightly lower cost. Thankfully we didn't have to file a claim so our interaction after the policy was purchased was minimal. The only hiccup we had is that we somehow ended up paying for the policy twice; it was straightened out and our money for the second policy was refunded quickly.

I did not have a claim this year but I have had a medical claim in the past and although the claim required me to submit a large volume of documentation, it was paid in a reasonable time frame by Nationwide. This year, our return flight was delayed 2 hours and it was questionable if we would be able to clear customs and immigration and make our connecting flight. If we had missed the connection, we would have been delayed overnight and we would have been covered for some of the out of pocket expenses that for a room while we waited for a flight the next morning. Luckily, we did make our connection but knowing that we had a backup plan if needed was a relief.

Consumers Beware - Do Not Purchase this Company Plan. Before you make your decision - read their policy carefully!!!
The Plan I purchased includes coverage for trip delay at $150 per day - which by default, in all other insurance companies I used in the past - covered the unused part of your prepaid expenses (with a maximum daily limit). However, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company does not cover that and does not explain that in their policy before you purchase it. My flight was canceled and I made it to my destination 24 hours later. I filed a claim due 24 hours delayed arrival to my vacation, but my claim was denied. According to their rules, they only pay for the additional expenses that happened due to the delay, and not the lost unused portion of you package. The way I see it - it is a highway robbery. I had similar situation before with other insurance companies, and even though I did not get the amount I actually lost by prepaying, I did get their maximum per day that was described in the policy. I do not recommend this policy to anyone and will never buy coverage from Nationwide Mutual Insurance company again.

Thank you for your feedback on the policy.
You had the following coverage for unused nonrefundable trip costs, under Trip Interruption:
Weather that causes complete cessation of services of the Common Carrier for at least twenty-four (24) consecutive hours
and prevents You from reaching Your destination.
You are correct in stating that the Trip Delay coverage is for expenses that you incurred while delayed.
In the future, if you are looking for guidance in selecting a travel insurance plan, please consider contacting our office at 800-487-4722 where a licensed representative would be happy to assist you.Jun 05,2017 -

While we didn't use the insurance, I was glad to know we had it if we needed it -- especially because we had some sizeable non-refundable deposits. The price was reasonable and it covered everything we needed. And several times, I thought we might have to use it because it seemed like everything that could go wrong before a vacation did. Less than a week before we left, we had a death in the family that put our travel plans in question. We got that resolved, only to break my toe the night before we left for our trip (which included some extensive hiking). Again, we decided to go through with the trip. And while we didn't need to use the insurance this time around ... I was reminded how quickly life can change your plans.

Since we had no claim, it's hard to evaluate. It did have a "Cancel for any reason" option which we needed for this trip.
