Luckily, we didn't have to use it, so I have no idea what kind of hassle it would be to file a claim.

I can not give a positive or negative review, because I did not have to use insurance. But, it was good to know I had insurance for unforeseen emergency. Rating may have been different if I used insurance

It’s good that there was no need to file a claim, which makes it difficult to rate the policy. We budgeted the policy into our planned spend, so yes affordable, but I suppose it can always cost less. I’m glad we had the coverage, and also glad it was not necessary to file a claim.

In July 2016, we purchased a policy for our bicycling trip to Sicily, Italy. The price for our 12 day tour was $3800 per person. The cost for the insurance was $400.56 (very reasonable). In January 2017 we purchased airfare and added a second tour in Italy. The cost was now $7214 per person and 24 days in length. The cost of the insurance policy now was $1790.10. To add 12 days to the trip (double the original trip) and $3414 more per person (less than the cost per person of the first tour), the cost of the insurance went up more than 4 times the original amount . We were shocked as we thought the insurance amount may double but not go up more than 4 times the original amount. Unbelievable!!

It was very easy to secure travel insurance via the internet. A site compiles trip insurance from many trip insurance companies so one can easily compare prices and coverage. I was impressed with the coverage of Nationwide and their pricing.
I would never buy trip coverage through a travel agency or travel company.
