This was a great purchase on paper, but since I did not need to file a claim, I really can't judge how great the purchase was!

I use your site to compare and purchase coverage for all of my trips, and Nationwide seems to provide the best deal, not just reasonable price, but generous coverage as well. I didn't file a claim on this trip, but I did once before and was satisfied with their response.

Purchased this plan for our Caribbean cruise. I was happy with the coverage for the money. Can’t really say much beyond that because thankfully we don’t have any claims to submit.

Didn't need to use it, which is the best. Wonder about if I did have to use it.

I pulled my groin area the week before we went. I almost had to cancel. Our snorkeling excursions had to be cancelled however they refunded me. You just never know.

Even though we didn’t use the insurance it was a comfort to know we had it just in case. I highly recommend that everyone gets trip insurance.
