Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
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.

With all the problems with COVID-19 this company went the extra mile and showed me just how great their business really is. I will return business and let everyone I know to use this company.

Did not cover much for lost or delayed luggage. That should be improved.
Health insurance was high considering that Iceland has socialized medicine.

If we had traveled 2 days before, we would have had to cancel.. so we are glad our risk management was good and the weather cooperated.

We purchased our insurance through an InsureMyTrip representative and she led us to choose Nationwide and we are very pleased with both companies. Fortunately we did not need it, but we felt assured that things would go smoothly if we did. We would by all means recommend Nationwide Ins. for your travel ins. The price and coverage was right on target and we did shop around and hands down Nationwide won our decision.
