I can't rate the plan if I didn't need to use it. It would have been nice if it was lower in price...Honestly, I can recommend or not since I didn't have to file a claim.

Luckily I didn't have to use my plan, but I'm glad it was there. Coverage and cost of the plan for one trip are excellent. Of course, the proof is in the pudding. I will buy Nationwide plans on my upcoming trips and will comment on how easy or hard they were to use if needed. So far, highly recommend and this seems like a better choice than Allianz, for example. More coverage, less cost, better customer contact via email and phone (I did call to see if I could get though).

This trip insurance offered all the coverage I needed to give me piece of mind at a decent price.

The cruise itinerary we originally purchased changed and we shifted the cruise embarkation date by one week. One would think it would be a hassle free exercise to change the insurance coverage dates. One would be wrong.
The number of email exchanges, documents, duplicate documents, duplicate explanations and multiple phone calls were required. It would have been easier to scrap the original policy and purchase a new one. So much for the creed “customer satisfaction.”

I have never had to use trip insurance, but the ease of finding a resonably priced policy on Insuremytrip is great.

Luckily I didn’t need it, but since I was going to a place where hurricanes can hit, and we had family coming from all parts of the US, we felt really secure knowing we were covered !

Thankfully we had no problems with this trip and did not need our insurance coverage.

The travel company cancelled my trip and I rebooked for 2023. The airfare was separate so I tried to get that amount back from the insurance company. It wasn't covered as this policy does not cover if a tour company cancels - apparently you must have the 'cancel for no reason' policy. Obviously will keep that in mind for next time. The airline did give me a credit so it worked out but I was lucky.

My cruise was shortened by 3 nights prior to sailing. I provided the documentation and the insurance company refunded the prorated amount.
I did not need to file a claim so cannot speak to that.

Purchased from a third party marketing internet company. A bit confusing on who to call or correspond for questions about policy or obtaining a declaration for confirmation of coverage.
