Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
I was so happy to find InsureMyTrip.com. I had tried other insurers but there was a flaw in their policy guidelines. If I needed to cancel my trip because of a family issue, I needed to make sure that all my family members were considered family under their policy. If you have "step" family members, you need to query your travel insurer in great detail making sure all members are covered. In my case while shopping for coverage, all "step" members were covered with the exception of "step siblings". Somehow those important family members were omitted from guidelines of at least two companies I contacted. Once I found InsureMyTrip.com, that problem went away. Their policy guidelines covered ALL "step" family members. I will certainly use InsureMyTrip.com again in the future. They were outstanding to work with and found the right coverage just for me.

My wife have done extensive traveling both within the United States and abroad. I have always bought trip insurance but fortunately, until this last trip, have never needed it. We had to cancel our trip due to my wife's experiencing a medical problem en route. I submitted a claim for non-refundable expenses which was paid fairly and promptly. I am very pleased with the way the claim was processed and settled. I will heartily recommend InsureMyTrip to friends and relatives.

All I really want is coverage for beach house occupation cancellation or delays from storms. I don't need all the medical stuff. Would be nice to have a very cheap policy that just provided protection from lose of my rent for the beach house

This coverage gave me a secure feeling, when the vacation rental wanted all their money up front with a no refund policy.

The process was easy, and the staff member on the phone was very patient and nice. I had never bought trip insurance before, and she answered all my questions without making me feel silly about how simple they were. She made the experience very pleasant, and I would use the service again for an expensive trip.

I can't decide if this is worth the money to get insurance or not but I guess if I had a problem I would be happy I had it. They were very nice and helpful.
