Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
I did not need to use the Nationwide Mutual insurance, but it always gives me a sense of comfort. It usually costs less than the insurance offered by the tour/cruise operator, and I can pick the options that I feel I might need in the event of an emergency.

My disappointment stemmed from the fact that there was such a cost difference due to age with no concern for my health. Oh well, this getting older means getting discriminated on a whole new level. Your Nationwide Mutual Essential coverage was fine.

No claims needed to be filed so it's hard to judge what a response to a claim would have been.

I always recommend InsureMyTrip to my friends and future travelers. I never travel with out having this company go with me. The price is right and they do what an A+ job. I know because we have had to file a claim before. They have always come through. You will never make a mistake when using InsureMyTrip.

We were detained 5 hours and would have preferred the option next time of more coverage before a 6 hour delay.

    Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We are sorry to learn that you were delayed during the trip. The large majority of comprehensive policies provide a Travel Delay benefit if you are delayed en route to or from the Covered Trip for 6 or more hours or 12 or more hours due a covered Hazard. In the future, please call us at 800-487-4722 so we can direct you to the policies that require a 3 or more hour or a 5 or more hour delay for the Travel Delay benefit. Please keep in mind, the covered reasons for Travel Delay may vary slightly from plan to plan. The Travel Delay benefit typically covers reasonable additional expenses such as hotel accommodations, meals, local transportation, and telephone calls.

I loved that I had the peace of mind of a large, nationally known company backing me. I also loved that the options in plans allowed customization and provided me with exactly what I felt was important for protection.

My husband got sick and was hospitalized just weeks before our vacation. This was the first time I've ever had to actually use our travel insurance.
It was easy to submit the claim and I received my reimbursement in less than two weeks.
I was very impressed with the Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and will use them again.
