Nationwide My Smart Ride
- Allows a customer to access Smart Drive information
- Discounted coverages may vary by state and not all Nationwide affiliated companies are mutual companies, and not all Nationwide members are insured by a mutual company
- The site is operated by the Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company – 855-421-2688 – 1 Nationwide Plaza Columbus, Ohio 43215-2220 USA
Please note to locate a port the customer will need the vehicle make, year and model (i.e. 1998 Ford Mustang). The site also provides a short video on how to install the smart ride service.
