Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
We had to cancel our cruise due to a serious automobile accident my wife was involved in one month before sailing. I contacted Nationwide and they emailed me the claim forms within minutes. The forms were easy to complete and only needed one doctors diagnosis and their signature. Required forms and claim form were able to be emailed back to the company and full refund for both of us was in our hands in 15 days. All the people I spoke to at Nationwide were friendly and helpful. I would defiantly insure my next cruise with them.

This is the second time I have purchased this plan for a trip. Thankfully, we did not need to file a claim, however I do feel that the coverage we selected was adequate had we needed it.

We were one of the many people who had a flight cancelled due to the recent shooting in Fort Lauderdale. As a result we had to fly into Orlando and take a rental car to Fort Lauderdale. When we arrived home from our cruise I filed a claim with Nationwide for the rental car cost and gasoline. It was approved within a couple of days and we received full reimbursement a week later. We like Nationwide because of the higher medical coverage and equal or shorter delay waiting periods. Most of all we will always use Insure My Trip to secure our trip insurance.

Never filed a claim so can't really say how good Nationwide would be in a real life situation. The benefits were very competitive for the price paid.
