The documents required to provide proof of payment trail was overboard. Coverage for Covid related expenses was greatly insufficient. However, review and response was faster than I was initially informed.

Thankfully, I did not have to file a claim. The coverage was reasonably priced and underwritten by a reputable well rated company.

Once purchased, travel insurance is something I tend to forget about until needed. So far, another trip without cause to use insurance. I'm okay with that. Good travels everyone!

Difficult to rate the insurance since I didn't have to make a claim (thank goodness). All trip insurance is expensive until there is a need to use it and then it is a godsend (especially evacuation!)

I would not have traveled to Europe without insurance. It was a fair price for the coverage and thankfully we did not need to use it.

It was comforting to know we had coverage if an unfortunate event occurred. Happy I did not need it, but great to have the insurance.

Didn't have to use it so I can't really say for sure if it is a good product or not. I did have the peace of mind that I had insurance, so that is a good thing. I picked Nationwide because I already am a customer and I am familiar with some of your products.

Thanks!

It was difficult for me find an easy cheat sheet on my phone of what would we covered or to have a handy proof of coverage page for traveling. I ended up just printing some clunky email to take with but it wasn't smooth or convenient.
