Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
The comfort of knowing that in an emergency I would have coverage needed for my special medical situation made my trip even more spectacular! The help I got with choosing the appropriate plan and the most cost efficient was awesome!

It took a very long time to receive feedback on the claim, and there was very little communication during the process.

We bought an insurance package from TruTravel last year for a trip to Tanzania, and had to file a claim when my husband and son's portion of the trip was delayed due to weather at Heathrow. Their added expenses of new air tickets, hotel, transportation and food in London, and the part of the prepaid safari they missed in Tanzania, was mostly covered and we received $10,000 for trip delay and interruption. We worked Kelly Nelson at TruTravel who was extremely helpful and cooperative. We were more than pleased with the outcome.

I needed to change our flights to NYC from Tucson due to employment difficulties. The plan did not cover the $300.

It's hard to evaluate the coverage since I was lucky to not need to file a claim. I assume I would have been just as happy if I had a problem that needed to be covered.
