- Verified ReviewReviewed in North Carolina on February 24, 2026I thought it was good until they started raising my rates for no good reason other than what they said: everyone is getting a rate increase. Which didn’t sit well. I’m a senior citizen with a perfect driving record; all other things they check are really good, and I've been with this same company and agent for over 20 years. Undoubtedly, that doesn’t mean much. So much for loyalty and being a long-time customer. So I’m doing something different.Verified ReviewReviewed in New York on February 24, 2026Really good, prompt, courteous, and efficient.Verified ReviewReviewed in Pennsylvania on January 28, 2026I love my insurance, but it's too high and I can't afford it.Verified ReviewReviewed in Colorado on December 18, 2025Thankfully, we haven't had any claims, but I'm confident that Nationwide will be there if we do.Verified ReviewReviewed in South Carolina on July 20, 2025Nationwide has been very good for everything except my budget.Verified ReviewReviewed in Virginia on May 4, 2025I have been with Nationwide for a very long time. I have had home and auto claims. They were fair. Their processes were efficient. I received my compensation without any issues. It's long overdue that I review my options.Verified ReviewReviewed in Ohio on April 28, 2025ExcellentVerified ReviewReviewed in Pennsylvania on March 1, 2025They are quick to answer any and all questions, and claims are settled quickly.Verified ReviewReviewed in New York on February 28, 2026Too expensive for a great and safe driver who drives 7,000 miles per year in a 15-year-old car!Verified ReviewReviewed in Georgia on February 18, 2026They raised rates by 80% over 2 years for no reason.Verified ReviewReviewed in New York on January 20, 2026I have no points against my license, yet my policy continues to increase. Their answer is always the cost of living. Am I paying for their cost increase? This is ridiculous. My insurance went up this year alone from $155 to $172. I don't understand, but I'm definitely looking to find something cheaper.Verified ReviewReviewed in New York on January 10, 2026Very happy with the coverage, no claims. Over 3 years, the cost went from $700.00 to over $1400.00. No violations, no tickets, same car, less than 7,000 miles per year. Hard to justify any increase in cost.Verified ReviewReviewed in Ohio on October 14, 2025They always answer the phone, and communication is why I stay.Verified ReviewReviewed in Kansas on October 13, 2025Need lower price.Verified ReviewReviewed in Pennsylvania on October 6, 2025Been great for a lot of years, but now prices continue to increase.Verified ReviewReviewed in Florida on June 10, 2025They will not give you a bundle price, and are higher than other companies. You wonder if you are being given all the reductions allowed for a good driving record, living in Florida.

- Verified ReviewReviewed in Washington on September 12, 2024Getting a quote on a new policy is too difficult. It required many phone calls.Verified ReviewReviewed in Pennsylvania on August 8, 2024Switch to Nationwide; they will take care of you.Verified ReviewReviewed in Pennsylvania on July 5, 2024I wish you guys would insure my vehicles so I can combine it with my homeowners insurance.Verified ReviewReviewed in Missouri on July 3, 2024Visited face-to-face with an agent.Verified ReviewReviewed in North Carolina on June 28, 2024It's not bad, but even with a clean record, the rates are continuously increasing.Verified ReviewReviewed in Connecticut on March 22, 2024'Nationwide is on your side' says it all.Verified ReviewReviewed in California on April 9, 2025They were great until they decided not to renew my policies.

I was in a no-fault accident and the other guy's insurance agreed. Nationwide referred me to Caliber Collision where the adjuster and manager tried to talk me into not using all of my $100 a day rental. I ended up paying for tires and they kept my car for over 4 months, although this was during COVID. Caliber had blasted someone else's car with rocks and my car was next to it, resulting in paint chips everywhere. I had pictures, and they had pictures to prove my car had none except on the front fender. Oh, and there were many rock chips on the windshield, which they claimed happened because I drove behind a truck on the freeway. They only repainted the hood and side of my car. I was just done with all those men from both sides ganging up on me. The insurance companies and their choice of repair are in cahoots!Verified ReviewReviewed in Pennsylvania on October 14, 2024The people in the main office are hard to deal with when it comes to pricing.Verified ReviewReviewed in Ohio on October 13, 2024Get the right amount of coverage for your money.Verified ReviewReviewed in New Jersey on October 13, 2024Everything was great until they decided to leave New Jersey. There was no explanation, just a notice.

The house not so good.Verified ReviewReviewed in Mississippi on April 10, 2025I'm not a fan of having to call a 1-800 number to file a claim. I prefer speaking to a local representative. The rates are becoming too high. Nationwide and State Farm have the highest rates in our area, charging over $100 more per month per vehicle than other insurance companies. In these times, rates should be competitive, not the highest.Verified ReviewReviewed in Arizona on March 23, 2025Nationwide is not very flexible. The cost has skyrocketed. As a 20 plus year customer with no claims, I'm really disappointed. I am currently shopping for more reasonable rates.Verified ReviewReviewed in Florida on March 1, 2025The rates are way too high.Verified ReviewReviewed in South Carolina on February 17, 2025I like Nationwide, but the auto premiums are too high for me to afford. We have four cars and our home insured with Nationwide, and the cost continues to increase. Other than that, I would highly recommend Nationwide to a friend.Verified ReviewReviewed in Pennsylvania on December 9, 2024Comparatively expensive.Verified ReviewReviewed in Pennsylvania on October 7, 2024It shouldn't be $150 per month considering I have no accidents and a clean driving record.
