Trip was cancelled and had no coverage for mechanical problems. Only paid for the United fees to change our tickets to come home a week early.

We buy travel insurance for any trip that requires pre-payment. This was the first time we had to file a claim. Although there is a lot of paperwork involved in filing a claim (understood) Nationwide was clear and direct with their claim filing instructions. Phone reps were helpful and quickly answered the phone. They promise adjudication within 15 days of filing and took 18 days to issue the payment, although not received for another week. Overall, excellent service and assistance.

As a result of the Bomb Cyclone Blizzard in Denver, we were able to reschedule our flights and hotel reservations through Southwest Vacations. Nationwide was a pleasure to work with in being able to reschedule our insurance dates so that we could be covered for our rescheduled vacation.

My parents are in their 90’s. It was very comforting knowing if something happen prior or during my trip I could be home without loosing the money invested in my trip.

There's nothing to complain about when you don't have a claim. The real proof would be your prompt response if I did have a claim.

We regret to hear that your claim was denied. No one ever wants to hear that there is no coverage for a cancelled trip. However, Trip Cancellation only reimburses if your reason for cancellation is a covered reason listed in your policy. Unfortunately, Mechanical Breakdown of your Common Carrier is not listed as a covered reason.
Please call us weekdays from 7:00 AM to midnight ET or weekends from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM ET at 800-487-4722 if you have any questions.
