Nationwide completely sucks!!!! I switched my auto policy over from Allstate (big mistake). To make a long story short, my husband doesn't have a driver's license (I'm the ONLY driver of my vehicle) and when I switched over from Allstate, the representatives asked me about my husband and I explained to him that my husband doesn't have a driver license nor does he drive (hard to believe but very TRUE). The sales rep said, "No problem... It shouldn't be a problem," and I signed up (lies).
3 months into the policy I received a letter in the mail on 2/3 stating that my policy would be canceled on 2/8th if I didn't provide the proper reason as to why my husband wasn't listed on the policy. I explained OVER and OVER again that he doesn't have a DRIVER'S License (idiots) and every time I called someone was suppose to call me back but never did. My policy was canceled (without a phone call from the mgr as requested) and now my auto insurance quotes are through the roof!!! I can go on and on but THANKS A LOT Nationwide!!! My family will be switching to GEICO!! It's more expensive but it's worth it! I will copy and paste this post all over social media because it WRONG!!

Overcharging especially when it was them who made the mistake and it looks like they did it intentionally to overcharge. They figured I was a rookie and this is my first car. I'm changing insurance company over their **. Scamming insurance company. I advise the world don't use this company. Not a fake review. Bad experience with this company over $15.

I would give this company a 0 out of 5 stars if I could and that would be generous. First off, they approved me for insurance and then canceled me two weeks later (they canceled me because my mentally challenged uncle gets his mail delivered to our house so we can monitor his bills. He has a bad driving record and even though we told them that he DOES NOT live here, they decided to cancel me anyways).
After canceling me over a dispute about whether my uncle lived with us or not (again, he does not), they proceeded to send me to collections after NEVER sending me my final bill. Dealing with this company has been one of the worst experiences I have ever had. I wouldn't recommend Nationwide to my worst enemy on my worst day. They are HORRIBLE!

This was in 2009 when my car was totaled, airbag deployed, the works. The investigator and the check were prompt and I couldn't have asked for better service. I've had insurance with Nationwide for over 20 years. They know their stuff and my agents are AWESOME. My 28-year-old had their policy while in college, and needed their roadside assistance which saved her out of a pickle. I now also use them for my homeowner's insurance. That's how much I appreciate everything they've done for me.

I have full coverage auto insurance through Nationwide. In Dec 2016 I was in a store Parking lot in Swansboro NC. The parking spaces were angled. I had backed out of my parking space and stopped my car, preparing to switch from reverse to drive when a vehicle from the opposite side of the parking lot backed into my driver's side passenger door. I pulled my vehicle into a parking space to see what had happened. My son called 911. An officer from the local, rural police dept responded. He took information from myself and the other driver. At no point did he take a statement from myself or my passenger. I drove away from the scene and called Nationwide from my home. They asked for a statement from me but never asked for a statement from my passenger. They asked me to send them pictures of my vehicle and to get pictures of the scene if I could, which I did, and to send them to Nationwide. The other driver also had Nationwide.
After about 2 weeks they called my husband up and told him that they had determined that the other driver and I had backed into each other and that we were both at fault. No adjuster ever looked at my vehicle. No one talked to my passenger. They got it wrong. I have been a customer of Nationwide for many years and I am now actively searching for another insurance company. If they can't get a relatively minor accident right I have no confidence that they could get any other accident right either. I'm not sticking with a company I don't trust.

Beware of this insurance company, especially for auto. I lost so much money on ridiculous fees. They are slow on mailing confirmation documents and also slow in the customer service department, then had to pay for their mistakes. It also began with asking the sales to email documentation that needs to be signed. Note: Titan is worse.

The broker Victor ** at the Natomas Sacramento CA office is shady, untrustworthy, and a bit racist. I'm in the process of changing representatives in Nationwide's system. Their rep dragged his feet taking 3 months to complete the homeowners insurance trade from Liberty Mutual (whose insurance is far too expensive for what they do and don't offer).

I am NOT the insured party. I was a driver along Business Rt 22, Wilkins Twp, PA about 3:40 PM on Jan. 16, 2017. I noticed a young lady by the SHEETZ air pumps broke down, with a flat, and what I THOUGHT was someone there helping her. WRONG!! SO WRONG!! I later that evening drove by SHEETZ at 6:50 PM. AND WHAT DID I SEE?? YES, I saw this poor, young, soaking, wet young lady at the air pumps! I was appalled. I immediately drive into SHEETZ'S parking lot and offered any and all assistance I could possibly give. Unfortunately, the one NISSAN'S manufacturers issued for my car, isn't worth JACK! Mine was worse than hers that came issued with her JEEP! Her insurance, NATIONWIDE, WITH THAT GREAT NON-ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, I had seen with her earlier that afternoon, over 4 hours previously!!
They told her, "We CAN'T help you, your spare needs patched." Walk down the street (BUSINESS ROUTE 22, WITH NO SIDEWALKS, MIND YOU) several blocks to PEP BOYS and have them fix tire for 5-10 bucks!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?? This "ASSISTANCE" did NOT offer to take her down, or for "INSURANCE REASONS" just her tire, have it repaired and put it on for her!!!
HE LEFT HER THERE IN THE RAIN STRANDED!!! SHE HAD TO WAIT FOR HER BOYFRIEND, to GET OFF WORK, TO HELP HER!!! She was so sweet, and very appreciative of my stopping, even if I could not actually help, but that not one other person In all THAT time had even bothered!!! I was able to find a flat rock so her jack would actually jack her vehicle up high enough to get on the repaired tire!!!
My SINCEREST OUTRAGE is due to her MISTREATMENT and LACK of any ASSISTANCE or SERVICE at all from NATIONWIDE!! This is VERY UPSETTING to me!! I have 2 young daughters, whom I proceeded to call afterwards, to make sure their roadside assistance WAS NOT with NATIONWIDE!!! Imagine same scenario, but along a deserted road!!! SHAME on NATIONWIDE, for even writing her an assistance!! I HOPE someone at NATIONWIDE looks into this matter, and EXTREMELY APOLOGIZES to this customer, and finds a way to make amends to her for being stranded a total of 7 hours in the rain! Thank goodness for boyfriend... He IS on her side!

I had the pleasure of dealing with Phyllis **, the most horrible experience ever. I sent Phyllis video footage of the accident and she says it was not clear to see. Then I sent Phyllis text messages from her client that clearly states that he hit my car. These were text messages and Facebook messages from the Nationwide client begging me not to submit the claim to his insurance and stated that he would fix it and how sorry he was. THIS WAS STILL NOT GOOD FOR PHYLLIS ** and Phyllis denied my claim. This has been an extremely horrible experience that left me driving a dented up vehicle. Nationwide obviously employs crooks. I would give a negative star rating if I could.

A representative came to us and filed the claim and it was done and over within a week without difficulty. Also, the customer service and people are so nice, but the issue we have are the high costs even though we have three policies with them. Auto insurance rates are higher for older car and homeowners insurance rises about 10% each year. We switched from State Farm which exploded in costs to Nationwide and even though the prices continue to go up they are still less than State Farm and others.

The company is fine as long as you don't have to file a claim, once that comes into play everything goes downhill from there. It was me doing all the work. I provide the police report, pictures and other helpful information to the case. You're left to investigate your own case and turn over your finding to them and they are too lazy to pick up the investigation. It's like as long as you pay your insurance every month they could care less about going after the person who hit you even when the person tells the police that they struck you and it in the police report. They are still too lazy to drag the person to court and go after his job or property. They would rather find a way down the road to raise my rates. Leaving me yet again to look for another insurance company.

I called my agent with the details and the other driver's insurance information. Nationwide paid to have my car repaired so I wouldn't have to wait for settlement from the other drivers insurance company and then they went after the other company. All in all, the process of having my car repaired only took a week. I have had Nationwide for years and have never had a problem. They are friendly, listen to you and explain things in layman's terms. Claims processing is fast. They want your vehicle repaired and back on the road as much as you do. I always receive offers from other insurance companies, but I love Nationwide and will never switch.

I've had the company for years, even VA. They're kind, but they'd drop you without notice after a claim, sell your policy and find a way to drop you completely without answers. The other company is good for nothing and you can't get in touch with anyone. Before you notice, you don't have insurance and the others don't wants your business. This so wrong.

After 30 years insuring 3 cars, motorcycles, house, and only one claim, 20 years ago, my rates drifted to 2X prevailing rates. After I retired, I had time to research and discovered I was being screwed. I cancelled all my policies and got another highly rated company at HALF the rates from Nationwide. They sent me 2 refund checks, and then an OVERDUE BILL for the auto insurance threatening me with COLLECTIONS if I did not pay it. What a MESS!

Nationwide is defiantly not on your side. I started a policy with Nationwide to cover my vehicle. Everything went well for the first two months. Then I got a letter on December 2 stating that they were going to cancel my policy on December 19. The reason for cancellation was due to the fact that I did not disclose all drivers. So I called to see what I could do to keep it from being cancelled. The first thing they told me was that my call was being recorded. I told them that the person they claimed was living with me did not live in my house and also did not have licence. I was told that this information was being forwarded to the underwriting department and if they needed further information I would hear from them.
Fast forward to December 19 I received a letter at 4 P.M. from Nationwide stating that my policy was being canceled on December 19. I called them to see what I needed to do. I was told that since it canceled at midnight there was nothing I could do. So now I am sitting here with no car insurance and they are telling me there is nothing they can do other than open a new policy. I told them I cannot do that before Thursday when I get paid. So they tell me if you don't open a new policy today you will have a lapse in coverage and will have a higher premium. So I have to pay for their terrible customer service and their mistakes. Thank you for being anything but on my side. I am just going to look at reviews and shop around for better insurance.

I was once in a pileup, and the agent I called immediately showed up with checks so I could pay off the loan and look for another car, even though I had not yet submitted the complicated details of the mishap to the head or regional office. The amounts offered are certainly adequate for the needs, and the types of coverage available include the usual, such as auto, home, renters, motorcycle, business liability, recreational, life, and marine. The overall value was confirmed not only by the competitive premiums, but also by the way the claim's payout enabled me to continue on with no disruptions to me, financially. My local agent (Wayne) showed up within a few hours of my initial contact with the company, despite it being a Sunday in bad winter weather.

Claims processing was fairly easy. All I had to do was call, take a few pictures and everything was handled. I never had to go into the office or anything like that. It was awesome. I got full coverage for a premium price and mom always said you get what you pay for and I sure did. Awesome coverage, fast and accurate. You got to love Nationwide. I didn't have to pay a lot. I pay a premium price for this insurance. Even if it were a little bit more pricier I wouldn't mind because you get what you paid for and I want peace of mind. I want to know that everything is covered at a moment's notice. I can call them and everything will be settled fast, quick and in a hurry. I would rate customer service with 5 stars. I've already had to deal with claims forms and emails and customer service and everything was handled in a small amount of time. Customer service a plus.

I've never had to make a claim personally but I have friends that have said it is a super fast process and very simple. This is why I'm with this company. There are multiple people on my plan so this helps a lot. If I ever have a wreck I know I will be completely covered. I never have to worry about not being covered. I would definitely recommend this company to a friend for a multitude of reasons. Great value for what you have. The customer service is great. I had a discrepancy on one of my bills and they instantly fixed it and I have had no problems since the incident was resolved.

They made sure right away what I was covered for and gave me the right people to contact for each phase of the process. I never had to wait on the phone for a rep. When I left messages, they returned my call promptly and were patient with my questions. I feel the amount of coverage I have for the amount I pay in premiums is fair. It's good to know that when I needed it, I didn't have to pay out of pocket for anything.
The value to my life is the peace of mind knowing that I can count on them to take care of expenses when I need them, like medical, loss of employment pay, and transportation needs. Everyone I spoke to about my claim was courteous and patient and explained things in great detail to me when I didn't understand something. I was surprised to discover how many different employees at Nationwide were there to take care of specialized aspects of the claims process.

I am extremely unhappy and disappointed with Nationwide. I switched over my auto and home policy for the convenience of saving money. However, my auto policy has been so mishandled from "home office" that I have been playing "catch up" with my payments since I was 3 months into my new policy and it's going into a year now. I have a local agent and she has been working every month trying to help me straighten out the issues and somehow the "home office" seems to not be able to get anything right. I really have had a terrible experience with Nationwide.
I really regret switching over auto insurance with Nationwide. What seemed like saving money has cost me over $600 in the month of November, and now they want to charge me over $400 in December; for mistakes the "home office" continue making month after month. On top of it all, my husband and I were involved in an accident in which we were not at fault and Nationwide really did a poor job handling our claim. Switching over to Nationwide has been a nightmare for me. Nationwide is very impersonal, very irresponsible and does not put customers first. They have made numerous mistakes in my policy and then charge me for their mistakes.

I've never used their claims processing but other people have told me that the customer service was outstanding. Usually they only had to make one or two phone calls and their claim was processed. Their coverage includes all options for cars, trucks, RVs, motorcycles, SUVs, ATVs, and anything that can be driven. Nationwide provides insurance that also includes roadside assistance. Their prices are outstanding. Nationwide has provided me with a great price for auto insurance. It has helped me balance my budget and be able to do extra things at the end of month. I've only had to deal with their customer service once, but they were extremely pleasant. They helped me right away and my questions were answered right then and there.

No claims to report. Accident free for the time of being insured by the company. Very friendly customer service. Office was clean and comfortable. If rates were cheaper would cancel insurance have now and return to them. I am no longer with this company so I am unable to give you an estimate on the coverage they give you. New customers will gave to call the company to see for themselves. When I had coverage with them the value was ok, but after a while the rates started to go up regardless of my policy never having a claim.

Never had to make a claim, but I was happy the office was less than a block from the house if I had to at any time and that my agent was a friend and relative. I only had compulsory so coverage was state mandated and though I never had to make a claim, I felt I had adequate coverage. I had coverage in case someone drove into me or mine and could feel safe knowing we had coverage for any unexpected injuries that may have been sustained. I never had much opportunity to deal with customer service except to sign the yearly policy so I couldn't really give a great estimate of their continual service.

Well we had a little bit of trouble in the begin of making a claim. We have some trouble with the other driver who hit us. He was unwilling to admit his wrong to anyone including the police officer. Which he didn't believe him. Once the and police report came in it all fell in place. We are paying a little more than we would like but the coverage is better and with us having two kids we just like having the extra cushion in case something happens. The value of the coverage we have now is great. Just knowing that if anything happens they are only a phone call away to help with any problems is a life saver. We had an incident where I forgot my insurance card "lost it" and they sent it by email as fast as they could... which was almost immediately.

I needed an SR22 in order to pay my reinstatement & begin the process of obtaining my driver's license again. Why I went w/ Nationwide' without checking the reviews first, I don't know but I paid $196 in July 2016. That was supposed to take me until Oct 2016, & after calling a few insurance companies prior, I felt I would go w/ this one. BAD idea! So I paid $200 to take me to Jan 2017 thinking I was good to go. All of a sudden I had to move to another city. Called Nationwide & they said I would have to pay $55 or my insurance would lapse. The increase was due to the move. What???
Furious, I called back and was told to pay by Dec 11 or it would lapse (by the way, the rep was dry & inconsiderate). I called Dec 1, 2016 & the automated said I owed $77 Nov 5, 2016. WHAT??!! I talked to another rep that said it was due to me being late. LATE?? After fussing about me feeling like I'm getting played, she said she would be willing to waive the $12 late fee. Today is Dec 7 & I just received a letter from Nationwide saying I owe $250 Oct 2016. I was so mad that Nationwide has stolen $400 from me. In anger I ripped it up!!!

Always trying to tack on extra unnecessary options. Overall it was affordable initially. Started out reasonable but continued to skyrocket after I was in an accident. The other driver was insured by Nationwide as well. It was settled fairly quick. Never had any problems with my agents and toll free customer service. They were usually very personable, pleasant, and helpful. No complaints.

Usually just file the claim via a phone call. The response time has been extremely quick. It is a grandfathered account therefore we do not have a deductible. We currently have full coverage for our 2014 Toyota Sienna. For example, when a rock crack the windshield the first week of getting it, Nationwide replaced it quickly and without any deductible. It is a relief to know that any little thing can happen and Nationwide will handle it in a quick and efficient manner.

I was recently side swiped by a driver covered under Nationwide. I keep getting the runaround when contacting the adjuster (Jamie). She has the same excuse over and over that "she can't reach her policy holder to get a statement" so what does that mean exactly... supposed he never gives a statement, then what? Well I was told that after two months they will deny the claim. So, isn't that convenient, just never give a statement, and you don't have to pay a claim. This is ridiculous. Then when someone comes up with a "Obamacare" for Insurance to regulate the big hogs, then everyone wants to cry. Well what about people like me that are victims of big wig insurance companies.

I have never had a claim but I have heard great things from someone who had filed a claim when they were in an accident. They are quick to respond and get the claim processed. Their coverage is great. They made sure all my needs would be met if an accident happens that I would be fully compensated. They made sure nothing would be out of pocket. The value is great like the ad goes nationwide is on your side and trust me they mean it. Their rates are fantastic so I can afford their coverage.

The claim process is a fairly easy and simply process with my company. It is easy to get a hold of an agent and get one on scene if need be to file a claim, also they are very friendly. The agents help you with a step by step guide through the process until you are satisfied. The coverage of my company also is extremely great. They offer the best or highest coverage at such an affordable price to me. The coverage is easy to understand what I'm paying for and I don't have to pay for coverage or certain things I do not use or need. The value of this company is extremely high. They have helped me numerous times, lenient when I was late with a payment or some other issues, always willing to work with their customers, act as if they truly care for them. Customer experience is probably one of the best and willing to help you out. They have encouraging words and know what they are doing.

It is easy and fast to make a claim. The representatives are kind and walk you through the process. It was relatively painless the one time we needed to do it. The coverage options are numerous and they have a lot of choices to work for everyone. We focused on getting the most coverage needed without pricing ourselves too high. Auto insurance is necessary in order to drive so this allows our family the freedom to get around and the peace of mind that we will be taken care of if something were to happen. It's helpful knowing you have someone "in your corner". The few times I've dealt with customer service they have been friendly, professional, and very easy to deal with. They have helped solve my problem or get me to the person who could do so.

Filing a claim was not the hard part. Getting approved and covered was more difficult. The coverage is great, once you actually get through to it after paperwork and so on in the filing process.

The car was stolen. It was gone for over a month and our agent kept dropping the ball. It was finally located and it was totaled and it still took another 3 months to pay out. They have different coverage packages so anybody could find something to fit them and their budget. If you just want liability they have good packages but if you want full coverage then it starts getting expensive. The value of your insurance is what you put into it. If you pick a package that doesn't cover some things then it's out of your pocket that's why I had full total coverage and was dissatisfied with them.

I should have written years ago when the trouble first started. I was rear ended while sitting at a red light intersection. I called my Nationwide agent office. They asked for the police report since the driver who hit me refused to give me any of her info. (The police never send the report, you have to go and pick it up.) The police location was 20 miles away from my house. Within days my daughter had a major accident with a driver-in-training (his mom seated next to him acting as instructor) with our other car in the middle of a construction zone and that became a priority.
Nationwide, my own insurance company, provided the 30 day auto rental as the policy outlined, but suddenly called me and demanded the rental be returned on day 28, which was the day before Thanksgiving! It seems the Nationwide adjuster at the time, who refused to answer any of my phone calls, was going out of town for the holidays and wanted the rental returned 2 days earlier - and 4 days before my own car's repair was completed! This was absolutely unforgivable as I needed the car to go to Thanksgiving family dinner. Me and my kids were not able to join other family after all because no one could pick us up and the dinner was 45 miles away.
I returned the rental car as instructed in the phone message because I did not want the entire rental bill sent to me, but this was just a nasty thing for this female adjuster to do. She thought the entire situation was her running her own business. No one from the agent's office ever returned my calls until after all was done and then they said my husband could go and pick up the car again for another day - after Thanksgiving!!! What? Are they crazy? Nationwide seems to think we all just sit around waiting for them to decide how to follow contracted legalities? I filed a complaint with the CFPB and with the NYS Finance Dept.
So, here we are 6 years later and my husband just had a car accident. Guess who just called us stating she wanted to set up an appointment time for her to come and look at the damaged vehicle? The same snakelike adjuster who thinks she is running her own business and does not know how to count up to 30!!! Is she out of her mind? By the way, it's only a couple of weeks till Thanksgiving again. Some people just have **. RUN FROM NATIONWIDE. They seem to do whatever they want, cannot count days properly, forget about prior commitments (totally dropped the claim of the car that rear ended me), and they have no memory.
If you want to use Nationwide, be prepared to fight them as if they are the other insured's rep and be prepared to spend days doing so. You will have to keep all your own records, use your own phone, print out your own letters, spend time trying to find your representation and carry a calendar around with you. Basically, you will have to act as your own agent while you pay them to fake it.

Six and a half weeks ago I was rear ended by a person with Nationwide Auto insurance. I have still not been paid for my car. Nationwide let me know within 24 hours that they had accepted liability for the accident. It was cut and dry. Their insured plowed into the back of my car, totaling it. Nationwide gave me one week in a rental and then took the car away. My car had not even been looked at by the body shop until the day they took my rental. It's six and a half weeks later and I am still having to go to a chiropractor daily. With no car. I made a complaint with the insurance commissioner and was granted one more week in a rental. That was four weeks ago. They made a low ball offer on my car. I pointed out to them there was no way it could be replaced for what they offered. Similar age and mileage cars were all two to five thousand more dollars.
They agreed but said it was not their problem. The Claims Specialist is completely incompetent. He tried to have my car towed to a scrap yard two hours away, promising me no one would touch my car until I was paid for it. That was also four weeks ago. Imagine if I had let them. The car would have been stripped and crushed by now and I would have literally nothing. He said, "you have my word no one would touch your car." He lied. Those yards move cars with a forklift and strip them of everything within a week of arrival. Every time I talk to him he acts like it's the first time we have ever talked. Two other claims representatives have called me on his behalf. When I call back they cannot be reached either. My claims rep is now on a two week vacation. I wonder if he is vacationing with no car? The shop where my car was towed has not been paid either.
They were nice enough to let me tow my car out of there so that Nationwide would not have to pay more storage. This was a big deal to my claims rep and the reason he cited he wanted to tow my car to the scrap yard. Now that the car is gone Nationwide has put me in a bad spot by not paying the garage for looking at my car or the tow or storage or anything. They call me several times a week and they also call Nationwide several times a week. Every time they actually reach someone at Nationwide, Nationwide tells them to fax the bill to them. They lie and say they will take care of it. Another week goes by and they never do. I hired an independent insurance adjuster to evaluate the value of my car. He also agrees it cannot be replaced for what Nationwide wants me to settle on. There are no cars available for what they claim is value. It's a limited production vehicle. I am not being unreasonable.
I am not asking anything for the 20,000 dollars in extra parts on my car or the hundreds of hours of labor installing and tuning it. I just want enough to buy a stock car the same age and mileage as mine. They refuse. They are unreachable by phone or email. They do not return calls to me, the garage or the independent adjuster.

I would like to say that I just started Nationwide Insurance few weeks ago. What a big mistake. I'm not happy with them. I've been talking to few different people. The same guy that I end up talking from last week telling me I would have to pay a penalty if I cancel, I feel like I'm being pressured and I don't need this - I'm mentally disabled. I end up swearing and cussing at him. He doesn't seem to listen. I end up talking to two different ladies. They told me I wouldn't have to pay a fee. SOMEONE IS LYING TO ME AND I'M NOT GONNA PUT UP WITH IT!! I'm surprise they are still in business. If I get bad credit rating because of them I will take further action.

I was involved in a incident and the other party had Nationwide Insurance. The other party (T. **) claimed previous damaged to their vehicle in addition to the damaged I cause. The damage I did not do but was billed for was an additional $518. I called Nationwide and let them know their customer (T. **) was comminting insurance fraud. I let them know their customer (T. **) did not ever drive the vehicle that was insured and instead the customer allowed his brother (C. **) to drive the vehicle. The bother (C. **) is a DUI offender so it is cheaper for him drive a vehicle in his brother's name. That in itself is insurance fraud.
It took me 4 weeks to get Nationwide to investigate. I spoke with the body shop who fixed the vehicle and they confirmed with me the extra damage was added onto the bill. I started receiving letters from a collection agency (National Commercial Services) demanding payment in full the total bill. I tried to explaining the situation but no one would listen. I was told I had to pay $1800 or I would lose my license. Naturally I paid the $1800 and hired a lawyer. Do not do business with Nationwide and if you are involved in an accident with someone who insured with them take video and pictures. If you plan on committing insurance fraud Nationwide would be the company to do it with as they welcome it with open arms.

I have spent two month trying to get a hail damage claim processed from a company I've done business with for over 17 years. Everyone on my street has had their roof replaced weeks ago. My initial claim was denied and when I asked the adjuster what I needed to do next, I have pictures of the damage, her reply was "nothing, my word is final", Of course that made me very mad. I had my agent send them back to meet with me and a roofing contractor. They found damage this time, but tried to say this was a different claim. That it must have happened after their visit. No, we've only had one hail storm, this is the same claim. A week goes by I've not heard anything. The reason why, they fraudulently filed a new claim, to cover their tracks. I will be taking this to the insurance commission. Insurance fraud is a two street.

I was involved in a accident on Dec. 8, 2015, someone ran the stop light and hit me in the driver side. I lost items during the accident: cell phone, son's car seat and laptop was damaged. My claim for my car have been settled, however my bodily injured claim have not. They have change my adjusters 3 times, not due to my request. The 1st 2 adjusters basically told me the same thing and the 3rd one came on at the end of the case and changing things up from how the other adjusters were planning to handle the case. She is so unprofessional, she never answer the phone, calls while I'm at work. When I return her call she have never answer, claims she be busy on the phone. Doesn't return calls back in a timely manner. I had to contact Ms. ** supervisor, left him a message. I was told he would call me back in 24 hours. I have not yet heard from him.
She gave me an offer and sent me a settlement statement, however, don't have the bills correct, although she have them from the previous adjuster and I have sent them to her 3 times. She waits to the end of business day to send out email. They don't want to compensate me for my lost items. My parents paid some of my medical bills through the health insurance, I was told by the previous adjuster any bills that was paid already goes directly to me, however the 3rd one have went back on her word and stated she going to send it to the health insurance although they haven't requested to be reimbursed. She don't want to include my lost wages in the settlement, even though, the 1st adjuster had already calculated it. The bills I sent her states one amount, however Ms. ** is changing the amounts to lower amount.
She have been a nightmare from hell having to deal with cause she is so unprofessional and unorganized and trying to get over on me. My face is scarred for life due glass getting in my face, but they only want to offer me $4500 to $6,000 bodily injury. She stated the adjuster that supposed of handled my items that was damaged or lost in the accident, she would speak to him and her manager and get back to me about it. However, that was mention on July 22, 2016 and she still haven't gave me an answer concerning that. Nationwide have made me look at them differently, I consider them to be a very bad insurance company after this experience. I have chosen to take my business elsewhere, and probably will be contacting her supervisor's boss next week, since he didn't call me back either to hear my concern. Nationwide have a set of unprofessional and thoughtless adjuster working for them.
I will not recommend them to anyone ever again. The accident was so bad and the hit was so hard, it busted my windows out and the firemen had to cut me out of the car. In addition, the driver didn't have insurance and revoked driver's license, yet Rocky Mount PD didn't arrest him or give him a citation for no insurance. I paid my premium but now I'm having the most difficult time getting a settlement for my injuries, lost wages, and lost items. I had an infant and couldn't hold or care for him, and they wouldn't even compensate me for that. My parents told me to just hired an attorney and let them handle it for me. I told the adjuster she had by next Wednesday to recalculate my bills, and informed me about my lost items that I emailed pictures of what I had left of the items to her, and after that I'm going to take my parents advice. I lost all respect for Nationwide and the way its adjusters conduct business with victims.

I went into a local office here in Knoxville, TN to speak with a Nationwide agent to get coverage for my janitorial business. I was told by the agent Terrance ** that he needed some information about my janitorial service and about myself to get coverage started in which I know that's the process. After giving him my information, I was asked for a two month payment to get the policy started. I paid him via credit card and thought everything was fine. Terrance ** explained to me that I was covered and that he just wanting for the underwriter to review the policy and I will be receiving an welcome package in the mail.
So I went back into the Nationwide office to let them know that I needed to add two prospect customers to my policy. Once I got to the location, Terrance ** was not there to assist me but he had another employee there to assist me. I explained to this lady on this date and time that I was here to add two clients to my (COI) Certificate of Insurance. After her searching through her system, I was told that I don't have a policy with nationwide. I then explained to her, how could this be. She then asked me for my policy number to try and pull it that way. Well... I didn't have my policy number with me, so I asked if she could just pull it from my business name are social. NOTHING!!!
She stated to me that Terrance ** also works out of the Chattanooga TN office and my files could be there at that location and asked me to call the main number to see what they could pull up. So I did. After speaking to a nationwide agent there, it was explained to me that the reason why the local branch does not show that I have an active policy is because the underwriter is keeping my payment for an old policy I had back in 2012.
I was SHOCKED to say the least. I explained to the agent over the phone that yes, I had a policy that I started but canceled that policy because I wasn't getting any business back then. The agent explained to me that was true but for the days I had the policy for a WEEK. That I didn't inform them of the cancellation in time, so that's why they are holding my payment for the new business. I asked how much was it for and was told that it was $61.10. So I asked if they could just take out the old balance to pay off the $61.10. The agent explained to me that she couldn't do that but I have two options. 1) She could just send me the the money back via check or 2) Ask the underwriter if it's possible for them to take out the payment and just send me the overages out of the check. I was asked to hold on while she try contacting the underwriter and use her "magic".
After holding on about 15 minutes, the agent explained to me that she could not get no answer and would it be okay for her to call me back the next morning because the underwriter had left for the day, I told her that would be fine. So I contacted my local agent two days later asking him if he heard anything from the underwriter and here are his words.
"I have been out of town attending my grandmother's funeral. I apologize for the misunderstanding. When we set up this policy, I was unaware that there was still a balance owed to Nationwide for the policy that you had in 2014 of approximately $61. Underwriting is rejecting this policy due to this balance. I'm not certain that there will be a refund issued because there have been additional insured's added as well as a balance owed. If you would like to give me a call or come by the office then we can discuss this process, but there is nothing I can do about the balance owed to Nationwide or the cancellation because the underwriters have the final say. Please let me know if there is something else that you need from me. Thanks, Terrance."
Shocked again. "You can contact the billing/customer service department at 1.888.508.8622. They will be able to look up the billing and the policy and speak with the underwriter about this matter. You can also come by the office if you would like to work with me on calling them. If this is the first that you are hearing about this, then that makes 2 of us and I will do whatever I can to straighten things out if you feel that you didn't have a past due amount from the cancellation of your last policy. Thanks, Terrance."
"Hello Keelin, I received a call yesterday from a rep and she said that the underwriter advised her to apply the funds to the collection amount and the difference would be refunded but that is the extent of what she told me. If there is any further info that she spoke with you about, then she didn't mention it to me. I hope this helps. Thanks, Terrance."
"Customer service explained that they provided certificates of insurance to you within that week of coverage. If so, do you no longer need those certificates for that week of coverage that they are mentioning. If they say that I can backdate the coverage then I suppose I can but I've never heard of that. It's usually up to the underwriter, and what the original underwriter stated was that there were certificates provided and that's why she wouldn't back date it. So please let me know if you received certificates or not, because if you did then there is probably no point in me calling over their again. Please let me know if you didn't receive or have any certificates issued and I'll make the call. Thanks, Terrance." Now I am out of money all the way around. STAY AWAY FROM NATIONWIDE INSURANCE. THE OUTCOME WILL NOT BE GOOD. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. DON'T TRUST THEM...

Was rear-ended by someone insured by Nationwide in August 2015. Though they contacted me right away and accepted responsibility for the accident, everything moved pretty slowly. Have been taking every opportunity to slow the process even more. The vehicle is commercial and not readily replaced by rental and so downtime for repairs was going to have to be the bare minimum. Out of one side of their mouths they kept saying how helpful they were going to be until they decided the claim would exceed their insureds policy limits, (who has a $25,000 limit these days!!!) then they wanted my insurance to pay for everything then they could get reimbursed by Nationwide.
Finally got vehicle repaired in February out of service 12 days (their estimate was 5 weeks) and I had to find the shop to do the job that quickly (Nationwide authorized shop). Here it is now 2 weeks shy of 11 months since the accident and still no final settlement. The body shop got paid but I have not received my lost wages, medical and pain and suffering settlement plus now Diminished Value appraisal which cost me $525 to acquire and submit ($8700).
Today they offered $6000 to settle that part. I'm tired, their insured nearly cost me my business by his negligence and Nationwide doesn't give a rat's patootie. They are not on my side, not that I expected them to be though they sure made it seem like it way back in the beginning. I will tell everyone how poorly they have treated me, dragged their feet and generally caused my opinion of insurance companies to drop even further than I thought it could go. Judging by the other reviews I've read here I guess I'm not alone. Caveat Emptor folks.

I've been a Nationwide customer since I bought my first vehicle in 2003. At the time I had a local agent and everything was great. If I needed to file a claim I'd call his office directly and everything was taken care of in a very quick fashion. As an added bonus every 6 months when it came time to renew my premium, my payment would always go down by a dollar or two. After my agent retired and closed his office my policy got taken over by another agent, my premiums shot up 20 dollars a month and haven't moved since.
Then I had to move to California and shortly after arriving my wife struck an object that fell off the back of a truck causing undercarriage damage. I filed a claim, and with no local agent anymore everything had to go through call centers. You call, wait on hold, get asked several questions, get transferred to someone else, get put on hold, asked the same questions. The claims adjuster that I got assigned to would never return her calls. She would call me in the mornings when I'm at work, I'd call her back and leave a voicemail stating that I am hard to get a hold of until noon. But she would only want to call in the mornings, I'd call back a couple of times during the day, never getting an answer and leave voicemails that went unreturned.
It go so bad that I asked the supervisor to assign me a different claims adjuster. After taking it to their shop for an estimate on the damage it came to 167$, of which I had to pay 100$ to cover my deductible. So they were shelling out a grand total of 67$. After over 10 days I was getting nowhere. Whenever I did get someone to return my phone call all they wanted to do was ask me for the VIN and then I wouldn't hear from them. Call and wait on hold again after a couple of days, get transferred to someone who would ask me all the same questions and the VIN and then not hear anything.
Finally I gave up and told them it's not worth the hoops they were making me jump through to pay for parts and labor on a 55$ splash shield. I would order the part and put it on myself. Of course this was in a voicemail because you can't get anyone in the call center to answer their phones. I switched to eSurance and have the same coverage for 300$ a year less than what I was paying with Nationwide. Years ago with my local agent I would have said the difference in the payments was worth it for the better customer service. But every time a local agent retires they just transfer all the records and everything gets routed thru call centers to save them money. So they're not worth the higher premiums anymore.

This is Thursday night and I have not got one call from the tow truck place, body shop. The worst thing about it is I have to pursue Miss ** my claims adjuster to try and get some help. She is polite but whole lot more training needs to be done with her. You don't sit on your hands and say "you call 'em, or I don't know how it works, etc." Sad.

We decided to move to Nationwide several years ago. When we moved, the agent and assistant visited our home and we discussed necessary and desired coverages. We own a log sided home and horse farm. We needed coverage on equipment, camera equipment, barns, vehicles, etc. We contracted for multiple lines of coverage and they sent an inspector to view the property. Their underwriting was involved and emailed us with questions. We THOUGHT we had it covered. Every possible thing we could disclose, we disclosed truthfully and honestly. 2 years ago November 2016 I was rearended in a rental while stopped in traffic/construction on the interstate at Thanksgiving. I had camera equipment, a pet, children, electronics in the vehicle when it happened. Travelers Commercial refused to pay saying I was at fault for stopping for traffic (not that they're insured was following to close in construction or anything ha!).
I lost thousands in equipment and that is all we really wanted replaced. So I tried to file a claim on my insurance to get it replaced and was told they would deny it and increase our rates because I didn't have appropriate coverage. YEP... Didn't have coverage, yet I was paying for a supplement line for all my camera equipment and computers. Still am paying for the SAME policy to this day because no one has bothered to return a phone call to correct it or take any action. I don't have a copy of the policy, nor my auto or homeowners policies but they keep taking the money.
Had a vehicle claim, dog ran into the side of the car did damage, took it to their PREFERRED SHOP, wasn't repaired correctly, adjustor would not ever return a phone call and took DAYS to return emails. Finally found my way up the food chain and got someone to get it to another shop after 3 months to get it fixed. Yes it took them 3 months to get what should have been a small issue corrected. On April 27 this year a deer hit the passenger side of our car near the rear door and wheel. VERY minor damage that was reported immediately to the agent (left message and finally spoke to someone).
Yesterday the adjustor FINALLY showed up 2 hours later than his appointment. He then emailed to say he had sent it into the body shop but as of 15 minutes ago they had nothing on it, neither did the rental place (which by the way they only will pay 2 days on even though I have up to 900 on rental and could easily cover the Friday to Wednesday request so that we can take it to the shop which corrected the issue last time instead of shops which have horrible reviews and multiple issues with performance but are easier for us to get to... And he wants to put AFTERMARKET parts on a 2 year old car).
Nationwide advocacy doesn't return emails. They don't return telephone calls. Asked after the last issue to have our rental coverage increased... Never happened. Asked to have equipment added 6 months ago... Never happened. We were trying to avoid making a change when we are in the process of selling our farm but it looks like we cannot avoid it any longer. Nationwide has absolutely no problem taking your money but they damn sure can't or refuse to provide service. #nationwideaintonyourside

I apologize for the interrupt and hope this communique may serve to bring about some kind of positive change. Recently after over a year of claim free tenure with Nationwide Insurance (for both Home and Autox2), I got into a minor fender bender with another driver while at a local Home Depot. I was backing out of a parking space and he attempted (not so successfully) to quickly squeeze through. This resulted in t-bone style collision. After the obligatory unfriendly greetings... I came to find out the other driver was not licensed, not in the country legally, and had no insurance for the vehicle he was driving. Further investigation on my part later would reveal that the gentleman was driving a salvaged vehicle, which had failed all state required safety checks, had been in another collision less than 2 months prior, and was not listed as safe to drive in Texas.
The accident was minor and the only damage to my vehicle was to my rear bumper. The total cost to fix the 2014 Honda Pilot was 1069$. After the accident I had a very pleasant conversation with a Nationwide claims representative [Daniel **] from Iowa. He informed me during our initial conversation that since the other driver was not insured and not licensed that my 250$ deductible described in my uninsured motorist policy would apply. I wasn’t even aware I had this coverage. I was happy to hear this information and felt better that he was supportive. He assured me that Nationwide would attempt to recover the money from the other motorist. I immediately felt better. In addition he scheduled out the repair services needed to fix my vehicle for the next day, and we ended the call.
The tone with Nationwide changed as I brought the vehicle into a Nationwide approved service center for repairs (Caliber Collision). At checkout I was informed by the service center rep that the deductible I would need to pay at the counter (on the spot) would be $500 instead of the previously agreed upon $250 deductible discussed the prior day with Daniel. I called Daniel immediately (while at the service center) and for some reason he magically could not recall the contents of our conversation that occurred the day prior. I was left on the spot to foot the 500$ bill.
The following day I reached out to Daniel to try and determine what had changed. He calmly explained that because they had not determined liability yet I would be required to foot the standard collision deductible of $500 until the liability could be determined. I reluctantly and unwillingly had to accept this as the current state of the matter. He assured me that the investigation would continue and they would rule on the liability soon.
The tone of our next call a few days later turned even worse. He accused me of causing the accident, being at fault and stated that license, insurance, vehicle safety and operability were not determining factors of liability. He told me the 500$ was most likely gone and that Nationwide would wait for the police report to make a final decision. I was aggravated and upset at this turn of events. I felt I had been swindled out of 250$ and lied to by my insurance company. I calmly told him if it continued this way I would cancel my insurance policies with Nationwide. His response to this was smug and uncaring.
After hearing nothing from him for over a week I called State Farm and requested an auto quote. I was shocked to find out that the claim with Nationwide was listed as closed and that no further investigation was pending. I was quoted a MUCH higher rate for them. BUT based on my experiences in the past, you get what you pay for. I swiftly signed up and unapologetically cancelled my Nationwide insurance policies today. I was shocked (although I probably shouldn't have been) to see that Nationwide didn’t even attempt to preserve me as a customer. My main logic for cancelling is this: “If Nationwide lies to me and 'nickel and dimes' me over 250$ in relation to a minor incident, what will happen if something catastrophic occurs? I doubt Nationwide is on my side"
The interesting thing about this whole thing is that Nationwide stands to lose thousands worth of policy premiums from me in the future (which are ALWAYS paid on-time) over a 250$ dispute. The whole thing seems financially foolhardy as a company to behave this way. It’s also a sure fire way to drive customers away. That being said I thought I would share my experience in hope of some positive change taking place in the future.

I purchased a 6 month auto insurance policy from Nationwide, effective November 5, 2015 - May 5, 2016. I decided not to continue the coverage, and let the policy lapse. Shortly thereafter, I received a letter from Nationwide which read in part, "Unfortunately, the premiums you paid did not completely cover the entire time you were insured... you're responsible for paying the coverage we provided." Excuse me? When I bought the policy, it was for a specific time frame, for the specific price they quoted. If they extended the coverage (without my knowledge or permission, by the way), how is that MY responsibility?
They end the letter with a friendly threat: "We wanted to make you aware it's possible a collection agency may contact you if you don't make your payment. This can have a negative effect on your credit report, and make it more difficult for you to obtain loans or credit." Does that sound more like Nationwide is "on my side", or more like a huge corporation using coercion and intimidation to increase their profits?

Have a standing order that we are separated from one another and are on our own as far as our vehicles are concerned. Legally filed in the courthouse through an attorney. I mean really must I go on and tell the gory details of it all? Will someone get satisfaction from hearing our private sad story of our home?
These are the facts. HE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE. WE ARE NOT TOGETHER. Now after 34 yrs of being with you I have to look for another company. Is that customer service in your eyes? I have filed for divorce in courthouse. I can show all this documentation and it means nothing? Really, I am very sad, but upset I came to you 34 yrs ago and now you show no help to me after being a customer of yours for 34 yrs. I have to go, and I don't like change as far as this stuff goes but times are changing and so will my insurance policy.

This trash company on two occasions has attempted to threaten me into paying for a policy which had expired. After a fully paid for policy has terminated they will bill for another month at one twelfth of the original price for a year. If you do not pay they will report to a collection agency. They use the mail system to provide this extortion. This is violating the R.I.C.O. act, however in this corrupt nation this is just fine.
This particular attempt at legal theft occurred in the fifth ranked most corrupt state of Missouri, where there is at present a fellow named Chris Koster who is the AG for the state. He is poised to be placed into the office of governor in the fall "election". As soon as my credit score is verifiable to being damaged I will file a suit in the equally corrupt 31st judicial court system in Greene County Missouri. This type of theft is rampant in this Fascist country. Now State Farm insurance company is following in the corrupt footsteps of Nationwide Insurance company. I would rate this trash company of Nationwide as minus 0. They have no value at all.
