Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
The coverage under the plan was adequate for my needs. This is the third time I have purchased the plan for a trip. I have never needed to file a claim.

My problem was that the price had risen considerably since I last purchased the TruTravel Super Saver plan. From January 2013 to July 2013, the price for the exact same coverage has inexplicably tripled. I will look for a different insurance for my next trip.

    Thank you for your review and feedback. Policy cost will fluctuate depending on a number of factors including your trip cost, age, duration of trip etc. We are available seven days a week to help you select the most cost effective policy.

My golf clubs were delayed almost 3 full days on the return trip. I did not realize that they were covered for only the outward leg. I would have wanted it for both ways and would have paid extra for it.

    Most policies say baggage delays only covered outward bound. They figure you can live with your own stuff once you get home. Makes sense.

We did recommend insure my trip.com to others during our vacation. I will most definitely use your company again.

My last 2 trip insurance policies from InsureMyTrip.com have been with TruTravel Super Saver. This trip I did not have any claims but my trip several years ago my claim was for over $7000. The claim was handled efficiently and there were no issues getting a refund for the trip. I am highly satisfied with both InsureMyTrip and TruTravel.

Easy to use, convenient and good prices. I lost my email with the policy information, it would be good to have a copy of the policy available online. Otherwise very good service.

I wish I had known that I needed to immediately get actual arrival time and new flight data from the airline for my flight delay claim. I waited until my trip was over and had difficulty in getting this information from the carrier. TruTravel was extremely helpful and promptly paid the claim when I finally got the information they needed.

The plan cost more than I had expected - in the future, I will shop in more detail for other plans.
