Nationwide isn't by your side. Outsource to small companies that screw you and Allied/Nationwide plays dumb. But they got your money so they don't care. Oh, and they will not say they are at fault. But they will turn you in for no insurance and put the DMV on you.

I've been with a lot of insurance companies since I came to U.S 20 yrs ago, and this is the first time I wanted to give comment to Nationwide Insurance Company. Their claim customer service departments were excellent to serve the customers, and I'm totally satisfy with all the services they tried to help. Within 2 years, there were so many things happened to us: car accidents, hail damage to our car, our house... It makes us feel worry to file claims for those unwanted issues, but their customer services were so helpful beyond my expectation specially Engin **. She was the one who help us go thru hail damage of my house. She works with a professional manner, explained things clear and reasonable, and she gave us fast responds every time when we had questions or problems.
Compare with other insurances companies that I had experiences in the past, Nationwide Insurance Company really build up my trust in them because of the way their customer service handle, and because of how Erin work to represent for this insurance company. I'm sure will stick with them for a long time no matter what, because they keep their promises to stay on my side when I needed help, and it's enough for me to be a loyal customer to them.

Please have an option for ZERO STARS because this company deserves it!! The same day that I signed up for Nationwide - I cancelled because my current insurance debited my account as well and I couldn't have 2 active insurances. I was told I would be refunded the $5 setup fee and the first month. I'm waiting for weeks and nothing received so I contacted Nationwide who advised the check was not released and they would release that day. Another 2 weeks went by and I still did not receive the check so I called again and was told the check was JUST sent the day before BUT I was told it was sent 2 weeks prior. So once again I waited. Called back a week later and was advised the check was issued. Well just the other day I received a $5 check which was the processing fee but not the first month's payment. I called Nationwide who advised the initial payment was issued on 4/28 and the $5 setup fee was issued on 5/4.
Why is it I never received the initial payment but only the $5 setup fee? At this point I'm very pissed. I've talked to several supervisors (who take days to call you back) spoke to escalations numerous times and still no check. One rep told me to talk to customer advocacy who was in a staff meeting (I actually found it alarming that they would have the need to have such a dept). So a new rep told me a stop pay would be issued on the check and it would be overnighted and received by Tuesday. Well that was yesterday and no check. I called today and was advised it's STILL PROCESSING!! At this point I'm contacting the MIA to file a formal complaint. I've never been a customer and already have a bad taste in my mouth with this company which is not a good sign at all. I've been in customer service for over 20 yrs and every time I call I get a different story from a different rep. HORRIBLE. JUST GIVE ME MY MONEY.

Called my accident (not my fault) to Nationwide like as required of me by them. They seemed very nice. Upon trying to get my car repaired they gave me the phone number to the "adjuster" handling the claim. I had questions for him but had no luck reaching him by phone and have yet to hear from him. I went to get my car from the shop and I had to pay my deductible. They told me when I called that I had to go through a process that was not explained to me when I first called to report it. Nationwide did nothing for me as my insurance company, not even the supervisor came to the phone. What a disgrace. Thank you for being on my side.

I would NOT under any circumstance recommend Nationwide Insurance! We had Nationwide for over 16 years. We recently broke down at mile marker 1 crossing in to VA on I-64 East bound at 11:28 a.m. I called roadside assistance and spoke to the representative for 9 minutes giving her my location. Prior to hanging up, she asked me if I was in Fredericksburg! I told her no and gave her my location AGAIN! After waiting for 32 minutes, I called back and the second representative told me that the first one didn't get my information! Please keep in mind that I had two handicapped elderly men with me and coming over the mountains in WV, my cell phone battery was in the red line and dying. I walked to the Welcoming Center and called roadside assistance again.
The representative told me I needed to get the State Police to be there when the tow truck arrived. Each time I spoke to them, I told them that I was 13 miles away from Covington, VA and to please get me help. After speaking to them seven times and getting a text that they wouldn't be there until 2:03 P.M. The called them and told them to cancel the tow truck since the state trooper had arrived. The trooper couldn't stay with me for another hour and a half. Again, I had two elderly handicapped men with me; both have heart problems, one was in a wheelchair and the other a walker and he also has dementia. I explained this to each representative that I spoke to and told them that I desperately needed HELP!!! The state trooper asked me if the truck would start. I tried it and it did.
He told me to drive it to exit 14 which is Covington, VA; however there is a steep incline (mountain) to climb before reaching exit 14. I was only going 30 mph up the hill and didn't think I was going to make it. I exited on 14 and the truck died at the bottom of the ramp. The trooper helped me push it off the road. To make a long story short, due to roadside assistance not showing up, me driving the truck, the engine was fried! The cost of replacing the engine and more than the truck was worth. I spoke to Nationwide and all they reimbursed me for was the tow truck from the bottom of the ramp to the shop, then to the mechanics, then to the engine shop.
They refused to pay anything for the truck, they stated that it was the roadside assistance company that I needed to speak to since it was their fault. However Nationwide knows that this company uses tow companies that gives them discounts which is why they DIDN'T call for a tow truck in Covington, VA. That company wanted us to wait on I-64 for two and half hours.
On Nationwide's website, they let you think they are the ones you call when you break down. However it is a third company and they use tow companies that on their discount list. Shameful that Nationwide would want me to sit on I-64 with two elderly (85 & 77) handicapped men (one with dementia, which I couldn't leave)! I will no longer give Nationwide another red penny!!! I am certainly glad they are SUPPOSE to be on YOUR SIDE otherwise they may have sent a SWAT team. BELIEVE ME THEY ARE NOT ON YOUR SIDE!

THIS INSURANCE COMPANY DECEPTIVE. WOULD NOT BUY INSURANCE FROM THEM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!!! Called to report claim for damage to my auto. Was advised that Allied or Nationwide deals with 2 body shops locally. Took my car to first of those as well as a shop of my choice. Agent insisted that he would make an actual appointment with the other of the 2 shops they deal with.
This shop was $187.18 less than the other 2 estimates. The adjuster at that shop said, "oh, well, they were doing things that did not have to be done"!!! This was all done without going to my Volvo dealer for a much larger estimate. Being agreeable, I said that I would take the estimate from their first shop which was more that $150 higher. Agent agreed. Then, they send me an email shaving off an additional $126.38!!! THIS INSURANCE COMPANY DECEPTIVE TRICKSTERS!!! WOULD NOT BUY INSURANCE FROM THEM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

I had my car insurance with Nationwide for years. This year, I noticed a small but steady increase in my monthly payments, which I wasn't happy about. But when I received my bill in March 2016 for a monthly payment of $100 for just one 2008 Pontiac, I said enough is enough. My son suggested Progressive and after checking with them, I was able to get better coverage for half the cost! I had sent Nationwide the $100 payment two weeks prior. I signed up with Progressive and called Nationwide to cancel my policy with them. The Nationwide rep said no problem and canceled it immediately. I told her I'd sent in my payment already and asked if I'd receive a refund for the remainder of the month, and she said yes, they would refund me $42 and it would take up to 6 weeks to process. No problem.
Well, I noticed today it's been over 7 weeks and still no refund so I called Nationwide. I was told I would in fact NOT be receiving a refund, but that I owed them $18.53 and it had already been turned over to a collection agency and would be reflected on my credit report! I was floored! Their explanation was that in NC, if you cancel your policy "mid term", it becomes pro-rated and is then charged by the day, and supposedly when this happened, I suddenly ended up owing them money!
My questions to Nationwide: 1. Why was I not told this up front when I canceled, rather than being promised a refund? 2. Why have I not received a billing notice for this $18.53, yet you went ahead and sent it to collections? Bottom line, if you're considering getting any insurance through Nationwide, DON'T! I'd been a customer of theirs for many years and they completely screwed me over a $42 refund/$18.53 unjustifiable charge. Now I have to go through the hassle of disputing this with all the credit reporting companies. Besides that, Nationwide is literally double the cost of Progressive, without even having as good coverage.

I have been with Nationwide Insurance since 2014 and everything was well until mid 2015. Since around October 2015 I have experienced countless issues with them.
(1) Bought a new vehicle and need to drop one vehicle and add the new one. Nationwide charged us for the old policy, created a new policy, charged us for the new policy, and then told us the policies were wrong and needed to start over with a completely new policy and charge us again = over $350 in charges for policy automatically removed from our account;
(2) Called back in November because we received notice that our payment for the "old, closed account" would be withdrawn from our account plus an additional fee due to lapse in policy. No one knew what I was talking about and couldn't find our information so we ended up speaking to the escalation department who could not understand what was going on so they three-way called the billing department. Mind you this went on for over 3 hours and no one knew what was going on. All they could keep telling me was that all the money we had paid was owed to them and they are unable to send us a refund when there is money owed back;
(3) December 2015, again we receive notice that we will be charged for the account that has now supposedly been closed out 3 different times and the billing amount is over $300. Call in and no one knows what going on and they are unable to stop the payment from coming out. This again resulted in an over 3 hour conversation. The conversation ended with me being told that everything was finally straightened out and they are so sorry this will not happen again. WELL NATIONWIDE AGAIN WITHDREW THE MONEY;
(4) Called on April 18, 2016, to all auto policies and keep our renter's policy until June 1, 2016. Nationwide emailed documents over to be electronically signed. We sent them back immediately. Told that auto policies were canceled and renter's policy was still active and that we would be receiving a refund within the next 5-7 days because we have a positive balance on our account.
(5) Received an email and letter within the last couple of days stating we owe them money on our "closed" auto policies. Called Nationwide today. Get told that our one auto policy and renter's policy are closed but we still have an active auto policy and we owe money to them. Now I am waiting for a return call from the escalation department because no one knows why this is happening but they are so sorry for all the inconvenience. STAY AWAY FROM NATIONWIDE. THEY ARE THE WORST COMPANY TO HAVE INSURANCE THROUGH.

I was scammed by two people on a motorcycle who claimed that I hit them when I backed out of a parking space--I was nowhere near them. The investigator told me not to worry, that they deal with this all the time and that it would not have an effect on my insurance. Then--they would not renew my insurance, the person at Nationwide I talked to about the incident lied to me about what they paid out (almost nothing, she said) and then told me at the end that there was a witness, when none of their correspondence mentioned one, and I knew that there was none.
The scammer never went for medical care until they initiated the suit, then to a chiropractor who claimed all kinds of damage, obviously false. Everything about it was obvious. Meanwhile, I found out from another insurance carrier that they in fact paid out $44,000 even after I insisted that they pay them nothing. This left me victimized as I now cannot get affordable insurance. My only option now is to sue Nationwide. They obviously don't care about victimizing their customer if it's just the easiest thing for them to do. This was a completely obvious scam.

I wish there was a way to give no stars. I was contacted this morning by a gentleman who called himself Nicholas, who stated that he was from Cadillac Corporate and that my coverage had expired and wanted me to sign up for extended coverage to the tune of $3800.00, but because I was a "preferred customer", I would get a whopping $300.00 off. When I requested that he email me the information so that I could review the details of the plan, he hung up on me. I then called the number that he had rung from, 706.760.4916, and a man who called himself John **, said that it was Nationwide Insurance acting on behalf of Cadillac and that I was very rude, even though he continued to interrupt me and refused to let me finish a statement or a question.
When I told him that "Nicholas" had told me he was from Cadillac, Mr. ** told me that was not correct, but because they were an authorized underwriter it should not have bothered me. If this is how Cadillac is represented, I will have to reconsider my opinion of the company as a whole and has definitely affected my perception of Nationwide. I was thinking of including Nationwide in my list of options for insurance providers; however, thanks to these two and their insulting, abrasive, and unprofessional manner, that's no longer a consideration.

I recently left Nationwide for State Farm because the customer service was ATROCIOUS. I've been fighting with 3 different people over the phone over a $50.00 bill they sent me in the mail after I canceled with them. I was told that "Your payment date was not the same as your coverage date". I was NEVER told this in the 2 years that I was with them, and they stick me with this bill because of their inadequacy. I paid my bill on time EVERY MONTH and THIS is what I get for customer service? The representatives were completely unhelpful in disputing this as well. One's answer was "Sorry, there's nothing I can do to help you. You're just going to have to pay it." Why would I have to pay a bill AFTER I dropped your service? I will be fighting them on this tooth and nail, but I had to warn others to STAY AWAY from this company. They are NOT "on your side" as they claim.

OK until your car is a total loss -- This company does have people on call 24/7, and they were good on small collision claims, though the body shops they worked with twice for me weren't the greatest and always left me with small problems that weren't there before. But when my car was a total loss, they only gave me half of its value. There are other insurance companies that have come closer to full value for me, and so I wouldn't recommend this one if you actually want enough for a comparable car after someone totals it.

I was told that if I could get a no fault letter from my previous insurance company that my rate would be lower. That has not been the case! My monthly bill is still high and I can't seem to get a representative that knows how to handle this. Apparently I can't get a refund on the extra money that they charged me because now policy shows not at fault but still the monthly rate is high and apparently there are no educated representatives there to help solve this problem. I do not have a bad driving record so I do not understand why my monthly payments are high? Every time I call all I get is "someone will get back to you", and no one ever does. I have to keep calling every month because they just keep taking my money and not fixing the problem.

I was sitting at home minding my own business when my phone rings about lowering my car insurance. The lady on the line was very polite and seemed friendly enough so I listen to how she could save me money. She lowered my insurance by $50.00 per month. So I sign up for auto pay and things were good for the first 2 months. Then they stopped taking my auto pay for no reason. I called Nationwide and found out my payment amount with no tickets or accidents went up over $400. Per six months and now my cheaper insurance is more by $30 per month. I was pissed so I question why the nice lady gave me discounts I was not allowed to have due to I live in Las Vegas. So I went back to State Farm and then I get a letter from Nationwide about how I still owe them a fee of $89.00 for early cancellation. I told a supervisor what happened and she said I still needed to pay the fee.

Premium almost doubled in a year after an accident that was in no way, shape or form my fault. When I went to cancel my policy after getting much and better cheaper insurance with another company, Nationwide told me that I had to give them almost $200.00 for bogus servicing fees or some such nonsense asap or they will ruin my credit!!

I just found out my coverage is no longer because of a medical claim from an accident that my son was in and the car was totaled. They actually had the nerve to tell me after being covered with them for about 15 years that the claims and accident wouldn't be covered. I found out through a friend that works for another insurance company that shouldn't be happening. They messed around for 3 months and a couple of medical claims and of course I was out of a car I loved having. They finally decided to cover it and then a month later I get a letter in the mail saying I'm being dropped. Only had two incidents in that many years that amounted to about 30k total and then canceled. That is definitely not on my side and is really messed up.

A Nationwide policy sideswiped my car when we both were at an intersection that has two left turning lanes. He got into my lane as we were turning and just sideswiped my front driver side door as he was getting in front of me. Abigail, the claims adjuster, sided with the driver without even investigating or assessing the damage. All he had to say was "I'm not at fault" for the claim to be closed. That intersection has signs posted that it's two turning lanes as well as traffic cameras that I'm sure could be viewed for claims purposes but it was such a hassle for Abigail. She's very unprofessional and still hasn't even returned my call. Nationwide will insure any idiot that can't see traffics signs.

If you are looking for insurance do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY FROM NATIONWIDE.

Then, slowly you will start to notice minor again increases in premiums. At least this has been my experience and judging by some of these reviews it looks like I am not the only one.
Also, I cancelled all three of my policies 2 weeks prior the next premium withdrawal, but Agent Vinson ** in Texas completely ignored my request. I have addressed it twice to Nationwide and requesting my full premiums refund, but 3 weeks later no refund. Today I called again and after my conversation with customer service, my policies reflects active in their system and once again I have to forwarded the original cancellation email.

I recently was involved in my fault accident, thankfully the passenger who was with me or I were not injured. I followed my insurance co which Nationwide and made a claim on Monday February 1st 2016. After that I tried to reach them and I barely talked to a couple of them which they were not helpful at all. They keep telling me someone will give me a call but no one did. Then again I called them three times a day to talk to one of the managers and left a voicemail and never get a call back. It is now 2/22/2016, no real word of what they are doing about my car. I have been driving a broken car for almost a month now.
The accident happened as I was leaving from work I hit a concrete pole in a parking garage. The damage to my car was from the back door of the passenger side to all the way down to the half quarter of the bumper which really bad. I made an appointment to get an estimate for the damage and get it fixed. However, the estimator told me that there was another accident that happened before or after that damaged the half center of the bumper which is untrue. They said there is no way you will damage the half quarter of your bumper while you hit the back door of the passenger side with a concrete pole which does not make any sense to me. I have never had any accident with my new Honda accord 2015.
The estimator offered that if I want I can pay extra $315 and get the whole bumper fixed or claim a second claim to my insurance and get everything fixed. I believe there is no reason I should pay extra money except my $500 deductible or claim a second claim to get my car fixed, while I have a full insurance (Nationwide) defiantly not on your side. My whole family and I have been a valuable Nationwide customers for the past five years and more. Now we all feel like they are very unprofessional and impossible to deal with.

I don't know what's going on with Nationwide at the moment but I advise everybody to stay away. I've had 4 issues with billing, 2 issues with SmartRide, and an issue with the tax department. They have missed an auto-draft, drafted random amounts twice, and piled all of the remaining on me the consumer. They have incompetent IT working on the SmartRide program who have no common sense and refute obvious proof of malfunctions in the system. Lastly, when rewriting a policy as a transfer, they have no problem sending out letters to every state and county official letting them know that you have no car insurance which is in fact fraud: an intentional deception by Nationwide on the consumer for gain.
I am tired of running around and doing all of the legwork. Regardless of policy contents, products are only as good as a company and when the company stinks, the products also wreak. I have not cancelled my policies yet, but I am the only person in my circle of friends and family who has advocated for Nationwide. One more single strike, and I feel fairly certain they're going to screw up my billing again next month, and that'll be the end of our relationship.

I was just in a hit and run. The guy keep going after knocking my car into a ditch. I call the cops right away and followed my Insurance co which is Nationwide. I suffered from bad whiplash and a cracked rib. The wreck happened 1/6/2016. It is now 2/10/2016. No real word of what they are doing about my car. I am paying 115.00 for full coverage Insurance.

I have at least 2000 worth of damage to my car and could not drive it until Monday safely. Missed lots of work over it and I have been paying out of pocket to get my own car fixed. They asked me if I had been on drugs or was drinking and in fact I was coming in to town from a client's home. I do IN HOME HEALTH for a living and the wreck was filed. No fault of my own and I agreed to do a drug test of any kind. Still nothing.
I call them 3 times a day and never get a call back to know what is going on. With this keep in mind they made me return the rental car and drive my broken unsafe car home 60 miles. It has been in the shop more than on the road. I have spent over 500 in repairs myself and they swear the wheel bearing was not part of the wreck when I had nothing wrong with my car before the wreck. After the wreck it burnt out 3 wheel bearings and wound up having to replace the wheel assembly and put shim in to keep it fixed and they tried saying my car had been in 2 prior claims due to hail damage and one of which totaled out my car and it had a prior salvage title. I went to my car dealer right away and he showed me the car had a clean title. Took photos and sent in and still nothing about my claim.

My mom has been under Nationwide Insurance for over 35 years and I've been under them for 7 years. I got into an accident with my pickup truck that was not my fault. They totaled my vehicle and sent me a reasonable amount for that vehicle. I bought another vehicle with the insurance check and had the vehicle for 3 years. On the 3rd year I was involved in another accident in an hit & run where the vehicle fled the scene. They totaled the vehicle and gave me a less than reasonable amount for my car which was not even over 100,000 miles. Combined premiums for me and my mother's vehicle came to a total of 1,500 a month AFTER the accident.
After they totaled the vehicle, they sent me an amount which was WELL below Kelley Blue Book value for the car. After they sent me the check, they dropped me & my mother from the insurance company because they claimed we were using their services too much. They didn't have any regard on whether the accidents were my fault or not, or how long we have been valued customers for the company. They just felt like we were costing them too much money for they're already OUTRAGEOUS premiums.

I had called to cancel my renters/auto insurance with Nationwide to give them a month's heads up that I would be canceling because I was buying a house and got a much better deal from another company. The agent, Ed, at the Burrell, PA location was very, very rude to me and stated that "well if you're switching to save money or struggling, you probably shouldn't be buying a house then because you can't afford it". My jaw dropped. I was very friendly with him on the phone. Always paid my bills on time. I had this company for ten years and for them to make such a nasty, degrading comment. I'm sorry, but if another company is able to save me over $500/year for the exact same plan, I think most people would change insurances. Stay far away from this company.

I recently was involved in a not my fault accident with one of their clients. They opted to repair my car instead of total it. I found out that when that happens, you now have a black mark on your CarFax report, and will suffer diminished value, roughly 25% of your vehicle's actual value. When I contacted Nationwide about this they acted as if they had never heard of such a thing, and had no intention of compensating me for my loss. Now I have to hire an attorney. In my opinion Nationwide sucks, and I would never be a client of any company whose main goal is to rip off the unknowing public.

I don't currently hold Nationwide Insurance as my coverage on my vehicle. I was rear ended by a semi truck and the owner of said semi truck uses Nationwide as their insurance. This company is a joke, and I pray no one is ever in a car accident with a car that uses this as their insurance. I was in a Ford Explorer, stopped at a red light when I was hit from behind by a semi truck. Myself and my two small children were in the vehicle, all strapped in with carseats or seat belts. I suffered severe whiplash and am still dealing with neck and back pain from this accident. My car had $4000 + damage to it's rear end.
Nationwide sent their adjuster out to my home UNANNOUNCED to look at my car to estimate how much damage was done. I turned him down, telling him he was not welcome to do his appraisal at the time since he just showed up to my home unannounced and I was home alone with my two small children. He left a card for me to call and set up a time later in the week, which my husband did. He came out, took note of the damage, seemed like everything was fine, he agreed with everything that was damaged based upon the police report and how I was struck. From there it took weeks to hear anything despite my numerous calls and emails.
Finally, two weeks later I get an email stating that they decided their driver wasn't negligent (not sure how, since I was STOPPED at a RED light and he rear ended me) and that they didn't feel the damage to my vehicle (all in the rear end of my car) didn't line up with the damage to his semi truck, and they wouldn't be covering ANY of the accident. This is absolutely disgusting to me. Your client clearly is in the wrong, accepted fault for the accident and was ticketed at the scene, it is YOURS/HIS responsibility to cover the damages to my vehicle and person. I hope that no one ever has to deal with this.

Just want to start off by saying I had Nationwide Ins for years made my payments on time every month! 1st incident they just up and cancelled my policy one time saying my husband's DL was suspended which was not and I had to forward them documentation to put my policy back which was very inconvenient to deal with but I let that go.
Then in 2013 my husband made a very poor choice which we are all humans and sometimes we make mistakes we then learn from but he ended up having something on his DL record and all of a sudden just a couple months ago year 2015 I saw my premium starting to go up for my new 6 month term. So called and they said it was because of his record. I simply asked them if they could take him off the policy to have less havoc. They gave me the runaround at first and said "we will put him as an "occasional driver"."
I said ok then a week went by and the lady never kept me updated so I called back to find out NO they could not do that and he would have to stay on the policy. I was willing to pay more money to this company! All of a sudden a few days ago they cancelled my policy due to my husband's DL being suspended. Funny thing is I just made my monthly payment on time once again! They had no courtesy call. I just so happened to log online and see it myself! I understand guidelines and state laws but I feel that they could of cared less of all the business I gave them these past years when it came down to it! I'm just surprised they didn't want to even remotely help me out or give me any options. They just turned me away! I have nothing on my record. No tickets or anything and they just disregarded me!
I ended up getting another insurance company. Told them my situation upfront and had NO issues. They were very accommodating to me. Took all of 15 mins to get my policy up versus numerous calls I had to make to Nationwide not them contacting me! At the end of the day there are hardworking people that only ask to be recognized for our loyalty with a company! Nationwide has put a poor taste in my mouth with their ability to disregard my loyalty as a customer! Never again will I reference anyone to this company.

You know what, there is too many complaints to list without having to write a book. They have the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. My claim has dragged out for far too long. The agents handling the claim don't call back. I sent an email to the agent in the total loss department because her mailbox was full. Well she never returned my email. The bank as well as the lien holder of my vehicle needed to get a hold of her and couldn't. I tried talking to a manager about my experience, but they don't respond well to voicemails either. This claim has been a complete and utter nightmare for us. And that's because the accident wasn't my fault. I would not recommend Nationwide to a friend or anybody I know. Nationwide don't care about me, when they have many other customers that they can abuse. I got more information out of the auto body shop people than my own insurance, and that is by far a low on Nationwide part.

Nationwide Insurance incorrectly reported DMV that my liability insurance already expired, which caused me a lapse penalty ($50) and the chance of revocation of my license plate. I don't understand why this can happen - my policy is still valid 6 more months than their reported date; and I use automatic payment. They did receive all the payments on time. If my liability were expired, why would Nationwide still charged me after the expiration date? I contacted the insurance company and they don't know why either.

I had Nationwide Insurance on 2 vehicles for around a year, despite being dissatisfied with customer service. I had called at one point to make a payment because my card was deactivated due to a data breach so my regular auto-draft couldn't be processed.. The customer service rep was condescending and rude to me, she spoke as if I were irresponsible or unable to make payments. This is definitely not the case.
I later decided to switch insurance companies and canceled my policy with Nationwide. They sent several "renew your policy with us" cards in the mail, but I did not once see any notice that I owed them money. This was in November 2015. In January 2016 I got a notice from a COLLECTIONS OFFICE for the amount of 133.94. I have money, had I known I still owed for the remainder of my policy I would have paid it immediately. I never received the letter they supposedly sent to inform me. Also they have my email address, and my phone number. They could have given me a heads up that I owed money before sending it to collections. I'm meticulous with my credit so when I saw that I was PISSED. Luckily when I called the collections office, he told me that it hadn't been reported to the credit bureaus yet.

I feel that NATIONWIDE is not on my side when I need their help. I have been a loyal Nationwide auto insurance customer for over half a decade. My auto insurance policy had just been cancelled on Dec 29, effective back in Nov 29. Now I have a lapse for a month. I got a notice from Nationwide around early mid-December, saying that payment must be received by December 29, 2015 to continue my coverage. I was late on my payment accidentally by an automatic bank draft issue. Payment due date was Nov 29. I purchased a money order for the amount desired and forwarded it using USPS 2 day Priority Mail to PO BOX addressed on the payment slip.
I called the local Nationwide insurance agency yesterday to check if my payment was received and recorded. Then, I suddenly found that my payment was not received before/on Dec 29 and so, my policy was cancelled back to November 29. I called Nationwide customer service 3 times to reinstate my policy. All my efforts to reinstate my policy were in vain.
This was for first time in last 5 years. Plus, this is the holiday season, during which delaying mail delivery typically happens. I'm not saying it's all their faults. But they have to take into account all the things that are important in a situation like this. Thanks to Nationwide, I have suddenly a month lapse in my auto insurance and have to re-sign a new policy at a surprisingly higher rate. This company really hit me hard with an ugly gift like this at this happy holiday season. I'm inquiring about the delivery date as the postal delivery record still shows no final delivery date. If I find that delivery was made on time to PO BOX, I'll sue them for giving me such an enormous stress.

On attempting to enter a freeway on an acceleration ramp, a wrecker exiting in front of me began crossing the median between his through-lane and my acceleration ramp. As I passed him on his right side, he looked directly at me, stepped hard on his accelerator and turned his steering wheel toward me, forcing me partially onto the shoulder to avoid his obviously intentional attempt to ram me. As I accelerated more to prevent the obvious pending collision, to get out of his way, and to gain my position in front of him, he accelerated harder and turned his wheel more into me. My acceleration put me ahead of him (verified by his own dash cam video, I am told).
After clearing the front of the wrecker, I started to move across in front of him to enter the freeway. However, since the wrecker was in the median between the lanes, my view of oncoming traffic was blocked. Plus, at that point, I would need to cross the median (illegally) to actually enter the freeway. I then considered just sliding on over in front of the wrecker.
However, under his extreme acceleration (with his foot on the accelerator instead of the brake where it belonged), I knew he would squash me between him and the slowing car in front of me. Therefore, in order to give the wrecker alternative evasive options, I did not swerve in front of him. Bad choice. The wrecker took absolutely NO evasive action. Instead, being intent on colliding with me, he kept on accelerating. The right front of his front bumper hit the left rear of my rear bumper. I felt the nudge but kept moving forward to give him the opportunity to slow down or swerve to the left a bit to minimize the damage. At that point the damage (merely a small dent in my rear bumper) would not have been enough to warrant my filing a claim for damages.
However, the driver of the wrecker took it upon himself to continue accelerating, whereupon his right front bumper then got into my left rear fender. At that point, realizing the damage was obviously more severe, I stopped, assuming he would also stop. Again, bad decision. He continued on an additional distance equal to more than the full length of my car, tearing up the full left side of my car from bumper to bumper. It was as if he was going to flee the scene, but he finally stopped.
The most severe damage was actually done by his three-inch long spiked wheel nut covers. They not only tore up the whole left side of my car, but they also tore up both tires and both wheels, neither of which would have been damaged were the spikes not there. The spikes clearly performed as intended. It is clear that the wrecker driver made no attempt to avoid the collision or to minimize damage to my vehicle. Rather, he was intent on inflicting as much damage as possible, especially with those sharp wheel nut covers.
However, the Nationwide Insurance adjuster judged that I ran into the wrecker on his deceleration ramp. She has yet to explain to me how this was possible, given the pictures, the video and the police report. She totally disregarded all of my explanations and pictures. Even BEFORE she received the police report, she finalized her ruling based solely on HER interpretation of the wrecker dash cam, to which she has repeatedly refused my access.
The next day, after receiving the police report, she simply THREW OUT the police report because It clearly indicates that the wrecker crossed the median between the freeway through lanes and the acceleration ramp, which is simply not consistent with her prior ruling. Now, who does she think she is to be doing this. She was not even there, as the police were, to see that both vehicles, AFTER the collision, were on the acceleration ramp way before the end of the separation median, clear proof that the wrecker crossed the median prior to the collision, as so indicated in the police report.
I did all I could to avoid this collision and minimize damage, while the wrecker driver did all he could to create the collision and maximize damage. Yet, Nationwide claims I am at fault, which cost me $500 deductible. Plus, since it is my insurance company making the payoff, I don't get my fair compensation for reduced value caused by the collision, which is at least $2,000.
All I need to refute Nationwide's conclusions is for Nationwide to allow me to view the dash cam video (the only evidence they are using to justify their wild conclusions) so I can first handedly explain what is happening at every frame. The video probably is of very low resolution and fairly slow frame rate, but all that is required to substantiate my claims is a fairly detailed observation of frame-to-frame distance estimates and timing. Such detail would show that the wrecker, which was supposed to be decelerating to get off of the freeway and to avoid the accident was actually accelerating. It should also show fairly clearly that the wrecker crossed the median prior to the collision.
In conclusion, I justly want my $500 deductible reimbursed to me as well as at least $2,000 to somewhat recover the reduced value of my vehicle resulting from the collision. Plus, I want my name cleared from the state records as being responsible for this collision. Lesson Learned: If the other guy is at fault, do not count on Nationwide to represent you against the other guy's insurance carrier. In order to have a fighting chance of keeping your name clear, you must tackle that yourself.

Fortunately the value of the vehicle is a little over $9,500. The repair, before the damage was completely assessed was $5,062.39 with a $50 deductible. When the car hit the deer, it fell off the car and immediately got run over which somehow ended up putting a dent in the rear right door. It took the adjuster 4 days to come look at the vehicle which was frustrating. It'll be interesting to stay tuned and see how this finished playing out.

They are expensive for basic coverage. After driving for almost 20 years, I received my first ticket (not my fault, but I digress) and my insurance rates sky-rocketed. After we purchase a new vehicle in the next couple of months, we will be also finding new car insurance.

I have automatic payments with Nationwide so it comes out of my checking account each month automatically, which I appreciate very much because I have a terrible memory when it comes to this sort of stuff. I also get a monthly statement with a short breakdown of my charges and a fairly detailed description of my coverage. I like that I get a discount for being a good driver, and another discount based on the short distance that I drive to work. I would definitely recommend this auto insurance to all family and friends!

Nationwide Insurance has been "on my side" as promised for years now. When I got my first apartment, I went to a Nationwide branch in Nashville, TN. A lady helped me get set up with renters insurance, and the next year I visited their office again and she said she remembered my smile from the year before. How sweet?! Anyhow, my apartment eventually did get broken into, and I had to give Nationwide a call. They asked me what property was stolen and/or damaged and their assistance was very helpful at a time I felt helpless.
I switched over my car insurance from Esurance to Nationwide after that experience just to have the same insurance company for both coverage needs. The representative collecting my information was very helpful in walking me through all of the paperwork necessary. When I had an auto accident, they were very courteous in walking me through the steps necessary to use their services to right my wrong. My overall experience with Nationwide has been pleasant, and I do recommend them to others.

I think that the price is fair, but I don't know if it would go up if I actually had to file a claim. The reason I'm not giving them a higher rating is because I've had to contact them about commercials which I've seen on TV about certain deals, etc. A truly pro-active corporation would make sure that their representatives would contact their clients occasionally to update them on new products, etc.
