Plan provided adequate care at a reasonable price. Had air problems @ beginning of trip and was disappointed there is NO phone support on weekends.

Had to make a trip delay claim. It took about 3 weeks to receive payment, but that isn’t excessive. The Nationwide website could be improved, but the process was fairly easy.

I chose my plan based on the reimbursements that would be available for cancellation; trip interruption; baggage loss and the medical, and more. I luckily did not have to file a claim but felt good about the level of coverage I would have.

The best thing about purchasing travel insurance is knowing that I am covered financially in case something happens. The peace of mind of knowing that you will receive help in the event of an incident is reassuring.

I had to cancel our trip due to a serious medical condition. It took probably two months for the claim to be processed and paid out. It was a lengthy process but they did pay out the full amount, so I think it was fair.
