The flight after a cruise was cancelled due to bad weather, and we got home a day late. As a result, we had a night in a hotel and four meals. We submitted the claim and the claim was approved and paid promptly.

We did not have to file a claim with Nationwide so we cannot say how that process would be.

For a small claim of $300, they sure made us jump through a lot of hoops to get it paid. It took about 6 weeks to receive the check. However, they did make good and paid the claim as stated in the policy however.

Knew coverage was in place, but even better not to have needed it!

Did not need to use the plan, but the price was worth the peace of mind knowing it was there for me.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
Thanks so much Nationwide Insurance! I bought this policy for my parents who are over 60 years old for their trip to Vietnam. Three days before the trip my mom had a sudden sickness. I called to make the claim as soon a possible, and the claim was quickly initiated. We had to fill out some paper work and scan/submit documentation via emails. Within two weeks I received the payments! Thanks to CBPInsure! Even though they did not update the status of the claim, I didn't see why they would have to. Once again, thanks to a great insurance company, and a great plan. Our hard earned money did not go to waste because of an unforeseen sickness. After all that's what insurance is all about.

The plan was easy to compare to other plans, both in price and coverage. The purchase process was also very friendly.
