Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
We bought the plan “just in case” and it certainly gave us the peace of mind we hoped for. Luckily for us, the “just in case” did not happen! BUT we were ready…

First of all, we had a group of 10 people on a plan.
Had bad weather in Wisconsin and our flight to Houston was cancelled. We were to join a cruise in Houston but because of the delay, we had to join in Cozumel and had to take a flight to get there and had a hotel stay. This should be a simple trip interruption claim from Nationwide, and this is what their agents told me. That was a month ago, submitted all of the information. they literally just asked for the same information again. I had submitted to another travel insurance company for someone and had their cash back to them in 2 weeks.
Based on my experience, you can fine better insurance,

Easy to understand and purchase. Did not have to file a claim, so I do not have a review for that portion.

Thankfully I did not need the insurance during my trip so I do not know about the claim process but I always get insurance while traveling

Didn’t need to file a claim, but it gave us peace of mind knowing that we were covered for any emergency while out of the country!
