Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
Did not have to use it. On a cruise ship for 7 nights and living in the city where the ship departed from, there really was no issue in lost luggage or delayed flights. I was more concern if one of got sick and or I have an 90 year old mother, that I was worried about. But everyone was fine and did not need insurance.

If there were unforeseen issues, we knew that Nationwide would take care of them. The cost of the insurance was very reasonable.

We filed a trip cancellation claim due to the death of my grandfather. We received full payment in about 2 weeks with no issues.

We used InsureMyTrip because we had a split stay, 6 nights Disney World, 5 nights Carnival cruise, and 3 more nights Disney World. To get insurance separately through Disney and Carnival would have cost more than double the cost of the plan we bought from Nationwide on InsureMyTrip.com. It was very easy to purchase and we got the coverage we wanted.

Took a lot of worry off our mind. We had some serious family issues taking place. One was on the day before we were supposed to leave. Our daughter-in-law got a call that her mother was hospitalized with chest pains. So our daughter-in-law, and possibly her husband and two boys, didn't know if they were going to make this trip. Fortunately, everything worked out, but you took away a lot of the worry with us knowing you had our financial backs. Thanks!

There was no need to make a claim but it was reassuring to know that all the time and money invested in the trip was backed up in the event of unforeseen or unexpected possibilities.

Fortunately I didn't need to make a claim. I can only honestly recommend any insurance company when I actually need them.....thankfully I didn't on this trip.

However, I did not file a claim. One can only give a true review when they file a claim.
