Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
You make it so easy. I picked out a plan, gave you my credit card and that was that. Haven't needed to file a claim, but it was nice to know I was covered.

You never know how good insurance is until you have to use it. I suffered a knee injury before our trip to Paris and filed a claim with Nationwide to recover my wife's and my airfare. The claim was easy to file ( had to get my doctor to sign a piece of paper that I was unable to travel) and was done completely electronically by scanning the few pages of documents and sending them via email. I received the entire refund for our airfare in less than 4 weeks. It was easy and painless - I highly recommend trip insurance and Nationwide.

I bought insurance because my tour company required it. I chose this plan because I wanted a pre-existing condition coverage. I used it only to claim for late baggage. My claim was covered promptly.

The trip insurance gave me a sense of security and I will buy it when I travel again. Thank you for contacting me before my trip and also for this survey. InsureMyTrip was recommended to me and I agree - you are dependable.

The plan was reasonably priced and gave me the peace of mind the peace of mind before and during my trip. Fortunately, I didn't have to make a claim, but just knowing I could if need was worth the price.

While I always buy travel insurance, this was my first experience in filing a claim. The policy was selected based upon a lesser policy price for good coverage due to cancellation, interruption or delay. My claim was for delay - our flight was cancelled and rebooked for the next day. Although we were provided overnight accommodations, out-of-pocket expenses were incurred for meals and internet (not free at hotel). I learned after the fact that internet was not covered. The claim process was very easy - completion of a form and submission of receipts & copies of boarding passes via email. No questions were asked (I had good documentation). I received a check for meal reimbursement 4 weeks from date of claim.
