Nationwide Insurance Contact Information
Affected Nationwide or Allied Insurance customers may contact Nationwide or Allied Insurance day or night to report a claim by calling 1-800-421-3535.
- Nationwide offers the following tips for homeowners to help protect from contractor/repair fraud:
- Request an itemized, written estimate for any proposed work from contractors.
- Be wary of estimates that seem wholly unreasonable. Nationwide will provide compensation for reasonable estimates for the correct method of repair. Policyholders can call and ask Nationwide about an estimate.
- Beware of profiteers and fraudulent contractors. Contact your local Better Business Bureau or the California Department of Insurance if you have any concerns with a contractor you may decide to use for repairs.
- Avoid paying any upfront fees and be wary of cash deposits. One common scam is to show up with equipment to perform the work, promise to return in a few hours and never come back.
- It is always a good idea to take pictures of any damage before repairs begin.
- If you have any questions, call the Nationwide claims hotline at 1-800-421-3535 or your local agent immediately.
