I purchased the Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company Essential plan as travel insurance coverage for my trip to Portugal. The process to obtain travel insurance was simple and convenient. Thankfully, I did not need to file a claim, but I felt good knowing I had coverage in the event of an incident.

Travel insurance is a necessity in these days, but it is largely a scam because companies (hotels, airlines, tour operators) want to charge for services they don’t provide when something changes for their customers. It should be the companies buying insurance to cover their losses, not consumers. Unfortunately, unless there are better consumer protections in the future, these policies will continue to be important. This was the cheapest we found to cover what we needed.

Luckily we didn't have to use the insurance plan. However had anything happened I was confident that we would be covered.

I paid extra $1,300 for my flight from London to Manila with Air China because my original flight with Shenzhen Airlines ($999) was postponed for the next day. It was a Sunday, their office was closed, have tried calling them, I even went to the airport but Shenzhen Air didn't have any representative there. I wanted to explain to them that I won't make it to my connecting flight in Bao'an China if I take their postponed flight.
Your insurance paid only $600 for the new flight that I paid after Shenzhen messed up everything for mine and my husband's flight.

Over all plan was wonderful. I was a little confused with who to contact with questions. The travel nurse herself was wonderful but the coordination between leaving the hospital and the trip home was a nightmare including me staying unaccompanied at a hotel for over 24 hours when her flight to me was delayed with no notification until I called hours after she was to arrive.
