No issues during our trip. The insurance is reasonable for the coverage provided.

It felt good knowing that we had coverage. We did miss our connecting flight and knowing that we were protected in case our luggage was lost put us at ease.

I did not have to file a claim; however, it gave me and my family peace of mind when I traveled to Cancun alone to get some dental work done. I will purchase it again for my second visit to Cancun in December to complete my dental work.

I am the type never to buy travel insurance. However, as this trip was more on the expensive side, i decided to insure it as i had elderly in laws coming along. I went with Nationwide as they are a big reputable insurance company and covered what i would need.
I am so glad i did buy insurance as one of my in laws suffered a stroke prior to the trip and had to make a claim. I tried calling and did get a hold of a representative who told me to file my claim online or mailing it in. I did my claim via the online portal. Uploaded what documents they needed and claimed was processed. Be forewarned though is communication is extremely scant. All you will receive is acknowledgement that your claim was received. A few weeks later i got checks for the amount i was claiming. Overall, satisfied but communication is extremely lacking. Document everything!!!

I will never *not* get travel insurance. We had a Covid scare [possible exposure] shortly before leaving town; also, we missed one connection (which, oddly, got us a reduced fare). So while I never had to file a claim, I sure slept better knowing we could have.
