This was my first time purchasing this type of insurance for my child. I had many questions and the travel representatative was so helpful answering all of them. I would highly encourage you to call if you have any questions and you will have peace of mind when traveling or when your loved one is traveling.

I was glad I did not need it but would not have traveled without. Never know what could happen and knowing if something did I was covered! Will use you again if needed.

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.

Fortunately I did not have to use the policy. It was less expensive than the insurance sold by the cruise line.

It's hard to write a review for a product I didn't use. I'm glad that I had no claim. Getting the policy was very easy and thorough.

    Thank you for your feedback.

    Premiums for comprehensive policies are based largely on the length of the trip, the ages of the travelers, and the cost of the trip. A travel insurance policy is considered to be of good value when the policy premium is 4-10% of the insured trip cost.

    InsureMyTrip is open 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and our customer care representatives are licensed insurance agents who are able to recommend the most cost effective plans which will cover the travelers primary concerns. If you would like to receive assistance in obtaining a quote or purchasing a policy, please call us at 800-487-4722 as we would be happy to assist you.
