Did not need to use this insurance, but I called when setting it up and got a really friendly and helpful rep. Most it was worth it for peace of mind.

I was able to contact Nationwide Mutual Insurance to modify the plan as my travel plans changed and make the necessary modifications easily. Happily the trip went well and I did not have to make any claims.

I purchased a fairly basic plan for coverage on a trip to Morocco. I wound up having to cancel my entire trip, a week or two beforehand, as my daughter had some medical issues. Nationwide covered ALL my expenses -- tour company, airfare and hotels! The process was very straightforward -- I just provided the documentation they requested and, about a month later, received a check for the full amount, in the mail. Didn't even have to talk to anyone! I definitely expected more rigamarole and negotiation.

Overall, I'd highly recommend Nationwide for travel insurance!

Yes I would recommend, however we did not use it so I cannot attest to the coverage. Clark Howard a local Georgia economist recommended this company so we used them. Price seemed reasonable to us.

Just took a while to get through the process. My only concern is if we had a medical issue, would it take the same amount of time or could you cover cost when they occur at a hospital.
