Luckily we never had to use the insurance. Trip was wonderful and I would take out insurance
with this company again.

I use Nationwide because they have processed difficult claims to our satisfaction in the past and I trust they will do so, should the need arise, in the future.

I didn't have to use it. Which is good, I guess. But, I can't fairly comment on how good the service might have been if things went awry - which is the way of most insurance or warranty reviews - the proof is always in the collapsed pudding rather than the uneventful journey.

Communication was lacking between myself and the claim adjuster. That is why the claim was not processed promptly and within a reasonable timely manner. The claim was done fairly for reimbursement. I would not hesitate to continue purchasing this coverage for our yearly trips even though this claim went sideways.

Fortunately, I did not need to send in a claim, so do not know how well you respond to claims.

I had to be hospitalized overnight in Playa del Carmen while on vacation. It too over 3 months for my primary insurance to process and pay my claim before I could submit to Nationwide. Once submitted to them, they paid all the remaining amount in less than three weeks. They were much easier to deal with than my own health insurance provider. They covered their obligation quickly with no hassles. I usually take a couple of trips a year and always buy travel insurance. Nationwide will continue to earn my business. They provide the coverage I need at a price that's very affordable.
