I tried to use the insurance to help get money and not a credit for my flight back from Turks and Caicos since we canceled our trip due to the Hurricane since our resort is closed until next month and I could not use the insurance due to it being purchased after the hurricane was announced. I was not aware when I purchased the insurance that we could not use it for this reason. I would have never wasted almost $100 purchasing the insurance. Since the resort themselves closed and this was out of our control I thought the insurance would cover this but I did not research close enough I guess before getting the insurance. When I called she was very polite and explained the reason behind it.

I had to make a trip delay claim due to Hurricane Irma stranding me in DC for a few days. All of my meal and lodging expenses were covered (I stayed within the limit fairly easily) and Nationwide was actually really fast in providing payment. It was the airline that took the longest just to get me a travel delay letter (no surprise there). I'd recommend this plan, it paid for itself.

I searched various websites for a plan that met my needs. The Nationwide plan fit the bill and was priced reasonably. I didn't have to use it, so can't comment on claims. I would use this plan again.

The process was easy and affordable. I'm glad I didn't need to make a claim but felt better knowing if there was an issue I was covered!

In order to find hurricane specific coverage, you must purchase the policy prior to when a storm is named. Once a storm has been named it is considered a foreseen event.
This is standard for all travel insurance plans. In the future, please consider calling us prior to purchase to discuss the plan exclusions. We strongly recommend customers read the terms and conditions of the policy within the review period to determine if the policy fits your needs. If the policy does not fit your needs, it can be cancelled within the review period for a refund of premium. Please call us at 800-487-4722 if you have any questions or concerns.
