I am happy with Nationwide, though it may be at a higher cost than other insurance companies

Losing Nationwide Insurance
It was great when I had my car and condominium insurance combined. However, I missed a payment on my condominium, and now I'm having a hard time getting new insurance. I've been with Nationwide for many years. Plus, I bought a new car, so I can't believe I couldn't resolve my problem. Everyone said, 'Sorry, Sharyn, we can't do anything.' I keep asking if my insurance carrier has heard any good news, but not as of this date. Please let me know if you are ever combining insurances again. Thank you.

Quick to Cancel
The agent was nice, but not every policy change is offered every year. They are quick to drop older people who have had more than one accident in 2 years, despite having none in the 23 years prior to that.

Nationwide is Good, But Expensive
I loved Nationwide until the prices went up without explanation. I have a clean record, never filed a claim, no DUIs or traffic violation tickets, and I'm a 35-year-old female. Yet, I'm paying $137/month for insurance. I switched from GEICO because of high prices, and now it looks like I need to switch again.

High Renewals
I'm very disappointed that our coverage went up almost $700 upon renewal, despite us having perfect driving records and driving less than 6000 miles per year. It seems as if they don't reward safe drivers and treat them like the worst drivers. Consequently, I had to shop elsewhere.

They need better communication when handling claims. We hadn't had issues in the past, but the last two claims were honestly a nightmare. We had to get help from our agent.

I just love Nationwide, they are the best
Overall, Nationwide Insurance is great. I was just seeing if I could maybe get it cheaper elsewhere, but that's not happening.
Janet

Nationwide is a good insurance company, but I'm looking for a cheaper place with the same coverage. My premiums increase every 6 months for no apparent reason. I haven't had any accidents, tickets, DUIs, or anything else. I used to wonder why a policy went to 6 months instead of 12, but I finally figured it out. They can raise your coverage twice in a year, which seems very unfair. I'm retired.

Some of the customer service representatives need to learn how to communicate with their clients properly and ensure they provide the correct email for receiving documents to avoid clients sending documents to the wrong email.

I was very happy until I was told I would not be renewed because my agent was no longer with them. After 50 years, I now have to find a new agent and start as a new account.

I was with them for 54 years. I only had a couple of claims. Now that I'm retired, I haven't had any claims in 20 years, nor any tickets. However, every year my monthly premium increases. I told them that the next increase will make me leave Nationwide.

Be Careful Using Nationwide

The new Nationwide jingle: "Nationwide on its own side"
Don't go with Nationwide. The company has changed significantly for the worse since 1996. High premiums and poor claims service is a recipe for dissatisfaction and failure.

They don't need another insurance company taking care of their company's coverage. They don't seem to care about the people who like Nationwide. My payment was supposed to come out on the 13th of September. We get paid on Fridays at 3:00 am. My payment didn't get declined because I have overdraft protection.

Misinformation by Insurance Company
I discovered that the representatives provided false information about aspects of my insurance policy, such as the provision of a rental car when my car was totaled. I am considering switching companies due to this misinformation, which resulted in me having to pay over $800.00, a cost that the insurance company should have covered. I will not tolerate being misled.

The auto coverage is decent but costly. The home insurance is not satisfactory and the bundled 'discount' isn't worth it. Loyalty doesn't seem to mean much.

Nationwide is NOT on your side. They don't know where they are!
Nationwide is horrible! I've been a customer for four years and never had an accident. I called for service because my car tire was flat. They outsourced the job to a third party. Before changing the tire, he broke my spare tire cover, to my shock, and then proceeded to break a slug. It's been three months and Nationwide has not reimbursed me for the damages. Their customer service is non-existent. Their business is scattered and no one knows how to manage. THEY ARE AWFUL... Nationwide is NOT on your side...I'm looking for new insurance.

Review of Nationwide Insurance
The rates were too high! The customer service was good until I found a better rate and requested my policy to be canceled immediately since the rates had increased and I found a cheaper policy. Kayla at Nationwide responded that she was on her way out the door for a two-week vacation and I received no further communication from her. I will inform my bank to not accept a request for payment to them. I am now with Allstate Insurance.

I had Nationwide for auto coverage, and also had my home coverage tied in with my umbrella coverage. After nearly a year, I received notice that Nationwide had approached the person who did the original appraisal, and requested them to do a re-evaluation. I was then told by Nationwide that they discovered the original evaluation was reported at a level that was 7% lower than the most recent evaluation. Nationwide mentioned that they would have to modify the existing terms and premium that had been offered to me a year earlier. Their way to fix the auditor's inaccuracy of 7%, was to increase my premium for home and umbrella coverage by bumping the premium up over 400%! I found that action to be outrageous. Instead of having the auditors improve their valuation methods and switching auditors, they chose a horrible business practice. I immediately dropped all policies with Nationwide, and will never consider doing any business with them in the future.

Bad Service, Price Almost Doubled
We had a claim from July 17th, 2023 due to a storm, and as of this date, it's still not completed. The adjuster made an error by putting up the wrong size gutters and didn't replace the flashing because it was missed. We're still waiting.

I paid a lot of money and when I had a minor accident, I sent a photo of the undamaged car I hit. I requested them to investigate it before making a claim on my insurance, but they didn't. They raised my monthly payment to $406 without notifying me of the rate increase or providing any investigation response. So, I switched insurances.
