Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
My husband and I have elderly parents who have medical issues, so when we travel, we always purchase insurance within 2 weeks of booking to cover their pre-existing conditions. The last 3 or 4 trips we purchased insurance through Nationwide, as their plan offered the best coverage for our needs.
In our approx. 10 years of purchasing such insurance, we used it for the first time this past September when we had to file a claim not for our parents medical problems, but for my younger sister. She was diagnosed with a life altering serious illness on the day before we were set to depart. Everyone in my family was an emotional mess, and I just couldn't leave at that point to go on a carefree tropical vacation.
I called Nationwide that day and explained the situation,and they emailed me all the forms I needed to complete the same day. It took me approximately 2 hours to complete the forms and gather all the necessary paperwork and receipts that I needed. I also had to get a signature from my sister's doctor, stating that she was ill and the code for the illness, which the office personnel was quick to provide.
All the paperwork was submitted to Nationwide on Sept. 28th, and I received my check today on Oct. 11th for the entire amount I lost. I cannot recommend this company more highly. This one claim probably more than covered all the insurance we paid for and never needed to use over the years.
Life happens, I never thought I would be canceling a vacation for my always healthy and strong sister, rather than our parents. You just never know.
Getting the claim settled with no hassel made a difficult time a little less stressful. I will always purchase trip insurance!

Thankfully, we did not need to file a claim-all went smoothly with no problems. We were glad that we had though, just in case.

Two months before our trip my wife came down with a very serious and rare bacterial infection that prevented us from taking the trip. When we cancelled with the trip company we knew we would lose more than half the cost per their policies. I have bought trip insurance in the past but never had to use it and was unsure as to how much I would have to fight with the insurance company to collect the money we lost with the trip company. Well to my suprise, when I called Nationwide (and actually talked to a human representative) she was very friendly and walked me through the application process. I submitted all the paper work and called a week later to make sure they got it. I could not believe it when they told me that they had recieved my application and that it had been approved and the check was in the mail.

I compared Nationwide Mutual with the company I usually purchase insurance from. I found better coverage for less money. Thankfully, I didn't have to file a claim.

I didn't have to use the plan as my trip went as expected. I did enjoy having a peace of mind as my trip was traveling into hurricane prone area during hurricane season. I also have elderly parents in poor health. I was afraid something with my parents would cause me to cancel at the last minute or during my trip.

This plan provided exactly the basic coverage I needed for the best price. Got it last year for the same type of trip, got it again this year, and will look for it again the next time I take this type of trip.
