Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
The insurance product was fairly comprehensive and I was reassured having it. It was not cheap, but not prohibitive either. I will really never know anything about service until I have to submit a claim, which has never happened to date, thank goodness.

We didn’t need to file a claim, which is great ((who wants problems with a vacation?), but comforting to know it was there if I needed it.

Although I did not need to file any claim for this trip, it was comforting to know that I was covered if the need should arise.

Prior to the trip, I called with questions before I purchased, then called with questions AFTER I purchased. Everyone was accommodating and helpful. I did not need to file a claim...the trip was perfect, but having this coverage provided me with peace of mind.

Although we also insure with insuremytrip when we travel abroad, we have never had a claim. In that regard, we have no basis to evaluate the quality and efficiency of the service.
That said, the process of obtaining cover is always quick and efficient thanks to courteous, knowledgeable staff.
Prices seem reasonable for the cover we get.

My father was placed on hospice 1 month prior to trip departure. I cancelled at that time and within 2 weeks received my refund difference. My father passed away during the trip dates, so not having to worry about the hassle of getting my money back was a great relief.

    Thank you for your 5 star review for your Nationwide Essential policy.
    Although we are very sorry to hear about the death of your father, we are pleased that Nationwide was able to provide such a quick settlement to your claim.

This is the third time I have used this insurance. Luckily I only needed the coverage once. When I did file a claim the response was excellent. Great insurance at a great price. Highly recommend.
