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.

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.

I would just remind travelers that when they make their reservations they need to do the travel insurance at the same time or preexisting conditions are not covered. This was my fault for not knowing.

Since I did not file a claim it is difficult to properly evaluate the plan. However, I believe that the plan covered most of the risks that I have when traveling.

I booked a trip to Germany through a tour company. I unknowingly paid for their trip insurance as part of the tour price. When I investigated their insurance company, I discovered that the coverage benefited the company more than it benefited me. So, I decided to do what I always do when I take a big trip: Go to insuremytrip.com and get me some travel insurance that benefits me. As usual I was satisfied with my purchase. Fortunately I didn't have to use it but I was happy knowing that I was covered just in case.

I did not have a claim to file, but the price for the coverage was competitive. Nice to have just in case something goes wrong.

Fortunately, we had no need for the insurance, but having elderly parents, we felt confident that in the event of problems at home we would be covered.
