Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
Since I only purchased the plan but never filed a claim, I have no other info than it was easy to sign up for it on line and it covered my needs fairly economically.

When I called to get information on trip insurance, the representative was very helpful. She did not try to oversell us on things we might not need. She even told us that we didn't need to print all the pages of the insurance agreement. The price was very reasonable and covered us in the event of weather cancellations, which was what we were most concerned with. Trying to get out of Buffalo, NY in January can be tricky.

Without the need to file a claim it is difficult to fully judge this insurance plan, but the price and coverage seemed appropriate if the need had arisen.

Thank goodness I did not have to use it, but glad it was available if I needed it.

Fortunately, we didn't have to use it, but were pleased with the cost of the insurance and of the confidence of knowing we'd be covered.

TruTravel was great in every way. Plans are flexible, costs reasonable, the staff friendly and professional, and claim settlement reasonably quick. I have nothing but praise for the company.

As I did not file a claim, it is difficult to judge how good this policy would be when it comes down to conducting the business of settling someone's problem. I know that for the short business trip I was taking, the policy appears to have covered the things of a great concern for me: trip interruption, trip cancellation, lost luggage (since some of mine was work-related). And for under $30, it seems to take a good deal into consideration for such a reasonable price. I would not have chosen it had I not read reviews from others who had actually filed claims. I have two more trips upcoming -- both for pleasure, so TruTravel will definitely be at the top of my list when I'm seeking quotes.
