With aging parents, purchasing trip insurance gives us a bit of peace of mind. We don't leave home for trips without it.

Trip was cancelled and had no coverage for mechanical problems. Only paid for the United fees to change our tickets to come home a week early.

    Thank you for your review.

    We regret to hear that your claim was denied. No one ever wants to hear that there is no coverage for a cancelled trip. However, Trip Cancellation only reimburses if your reason for cancellation is a covered reason listed in your policy. Unfortunately, Mechanical Breakdown of your Common Carrier is not listed as a covered reason.

    Please call us weekdays from 7:00 AM to midnight ET or weekends from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM ET at 800-487-4722 if you have any questions.

As a result of the Bomb Cyclone Blizzard in Denver, we were able to reschedule our flights and hotel reservations through Southwest Vacations. Nationwide was a pleasure to work with in being able to reschedule our insurance dates so that we could be covered for our rescheduled vacation.

My parents are in their 90’s. It was very comforting knowing if something happen prior or during my trip I could be home without loosing the money invested in my trip.
