What is Nationwide's claim time limit?

Nationwide does not have a set time limit for filing claims and will consider a claim even if it is filed months or years after the incident occurred. However, Nationwide is more likely to deny a claim if the delay was unreasonable or if it compromised their ability to investigate.

Your Nationwide car insurance policy likely requires you to report an accident “promptly” or “as soon as possible.” But even though you have to immediately report the accident, that does not mean you have to immediately file a claim. In fact, you can wait 1-10 years to file a claim, depending on your state’s laws and the type of claim you need to file.

It’s important to keep in mind that the longer you wait to file a claim, the more difficult it will be for your insurance company to investigate and approve it. Filing a claim as soon as possible helps to ensure that everyone remembers the details of the accident and the evidence is still intact, so your claim is less likely to be challenged.

Nationwide allows you to file a claim online, over the phone, or through the mobile app. If you have any questions, you can call customer service at 1-877-669-6877.

Can I cancel my Nationwide policy online?

No, you cannot cancel your Nationwide insurance policy online because Nationwide requires all policies to be canceled over the phone (by calling at 1-877-669-6877). Nationwide insurance policies can be canceled at any time, with no cancellation fee.

How to Cancel Your Nationwide Insurance Policy

1. Gather the Right Information … read full answer

To cancel your Nationwide policy, prepare the necessary details including your name, address, Social Security number, policy number, and driver’s license number. You may be asked to provide your new policy information if you are switching insurers.

2. Determine When Your Policy Should End

If you are switching insurers, it is best to have a small overlap between your old policy and your new one to avoid having a lapse in coverage. If you are selling your car, make sure your policy does not end before your car is sold.

3. Contact Your Insurer

The easiest way to contact Nationwide is to call them at 1-877-669-6877 and cancel your policy with a representative over the phone.

4. Confirm Cancellation

You should receive confirmation of your policy being canceled by mail or email. If you do not receive confirmation by the date agreed upon for the policy to end, contact Nationwide to verify cancellation.

Does Nationwide Insurance have roadside assistance?

Yes, Nationwide Insurance offers roadside assistance. Nationwide actually has two options for 24/7 roadside assistance: Nationwide Roadside Assistance Basic and Nationwide Roadside Assistance Plus. The Basic plan costs $1.90 per month, and the Plus plan costs $3.50 per month. You can only buy one of these two plans, not both.

Nationwide’s Roadside Assistance Basic plan covers towing up to 15 miles, jump-starting, replacing flat tires, winching, delivering emergency fuel, and locksmithing. This plan covers the first $75 for jump-starting, provides 2 complimentary gallons of gas, and lets you get your flat tire replaced with your own spare. The plan also covers the first $100 in lock-out services if your ignition key or fob is lost, you lock your keys in your car or if your key breaks off in the ignition, door, or trunk. If you are subject to any overage, the dispatcher will tell you beforehand.

Nationwide’s Roadside Assistance Plus plan includes all the services of the Basic plan, plus towing up to 100 miles or $300 and trip interruption coverage of up to $500 - $600. Trip interruption coverage reimburses you for expenses related to alternate transportation, lodging, and meals when you are stranded more than 100 miles from home.

Both Nationwide roadside assistance plans cover six roadside assistance events per year, after which you can get roadside assistance on a per-event basis at a discounted price. To purchase roadside assistance from Nationwide, call the main customer service line (877- 669-6877) to speak to an agent. If you already have Nationwide insurance coverage but not roadside assistance, you can also log in online to add roadside assistance. Regardless, coverage may not take effect on the same day.

Unlike roadside assistance coverage from companies such as Allstate, Nationwide requires that you have a Nationwide auto insurance policy before buying a roadside assistance plan. Nationwide does not, however, require you to buy any other type of add-on insurance as a prerequisite for purchasing roadside assistance coverage, unlike companies such as Geico, which also require you to have collision or comprehensive coverage.

If you already have Nationwide roadside assistance, you can request service for a covered issue by dialing Nationwide’s roadside assistance phone number (800-421-3535) or using Nationwide’s online app.
