Thankfully we did not need to use our trip insurance. We were happy with the plan that we had in place in case we needed it.

While it was not necessary for us to utilize the insurance I did feel secure in having it in place. I compared the cost with friends and it was less expensive for the same or higher coverage.

The plan met my needs. I was pleased to have no problem changing destinations when my cruise was rerouted to the Bahamas, instead of Cuba.

My mother and I booked a trip to Europe but shortly before we left my mother had an accident so we were unable to go. She used a different Travel Insurance company so I submitted identical paperwork- doctors letters, confirmations, cancellations, credit card details, etc - to both companies. My mother’s company sent her a refund check within a month with no further need of proof of documentation. Nationwide sent me more emails asking for identical paperwork, letters of cancellation and other information which I had already sent. Weeks later I received a check but I did not get the full refund I was entitled to as they deducted amounts I had paid. As it had taken so much time I accepted the final amount offered but will definitely be using the other Travel Insurance company in the future.

Fortunately we didn't have to use this insurance so my rating is only for my perceived value of the cost versus items covered.

Did not cover much for lost or delayed luggage. That should be improved.
Health insurance was high considering that Iceland has socialized medicine.

We were scheduled to go to Aruba in May, but my wife became ill and we cancelled.
What the resort didn't refund Nationwide did including what we paid to the airlines (used points for some of the cost).
The Nationwide rep that worked with me on the refund was very helpful.
We rescheduled the trip and had no qualms getting trip insurance from Nationwide.
