Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
There should be a mechanism to notify the customers that there's a named storm and when it was named. I called INsire My Trip and they knew when they were notify of the named storm and which day but the Rep didn't know if it was the same for Nationwide. Luckily I wasn't affected by Matthews, otherwise I would have been more prepared to evaluate this coverage.

My itinerary was changed by the airline and we were unable to go at that time. The airline sent a letter of verification which I sent to your company and it was rejected. They refused to reimburse my money. I lost 150 dollars. I will never do business with your company again.

    Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We are sorry to learn that your itinerary was cancelled. Unfortunately, your request to cancel the policy was made after the 10 day review period had expired. To prevent your premium from going unused, we notified you that we could request to transfer this policy to a future trip. Details for submitting that request were sent to via email, and we would be happy to re-send the email to you. If you have any questions about transferring the policy, please call us at 800-487-4772. We look forward to assisting you in the future.

Thankfully, we did not need to file a claim-all went smoothly with no problems. We were glad that we had though, just in case.

Two months before our trip my wife came down with a very serious and rare bacterial infection that prevented us from taking the trip. When we cancelled with the trip company we knew we would lose more than half the cost per their policies. I have bought trip insurance in the past but never had to use it and was unsure as to how much I would have to fight with the insurance company to collect the money we lost with the trip company. Well to my suprise, when I called Nationwide (and actually talked to a human representative) she was very friendly and walked me through the application process. I submitted all the paper work and called a week later to make sure they got it. I could not believe it when they told me that they had recieved my application and that it had been approved and the check was in the mail.

Did not have to use the insurance/make a claim so don't know if it would have been a good experience with insurer or not. Price was very reasonable for the coverage indicated.

Fortunately, our trip was flawless in both travel and medically speaking and we did not need to file any claims. There were seven medical emergencies on our cruise and with each one, I thought of the plan we purchased and was so glad we bought coverage. I felt relaxed and secure in knowing I had "Insuremytrip" and Nationwide Mutual supporting me if such an emergency had occurred to my wife or me.
