Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
Thankfully we did not need the coverage we bought but it was great knowing that we were covered in case we did need it. The process was easy and cost effective.

The plan is affordable while we travel overseas. However, we don't have claim experience, so still don't know it is a good plan or not. Hope we never need to claim anything that would be good for us and for the business.

I did not have to file a claim, so I don't have direct knowledge of how that goes. But there were several times during the trip when I consciously thought about the protection this policy afforded us and relaxed into enjoying my trip all the more.

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.

We fortunately did not need to file a claim, but in anticipation of the trip and while we traveled we were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing we were covered for trip cancellation, interruption and medical.
