Fortunately we didn't need to file a claim so can't comment further but important to know we had it if needed.

Did not have to submit a claim so cannot review the service. Review is about how easy it was to pick coverage and the overall cost. Happy it was available. Gave us peace of mind.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
Our trip was interrupted due to the tragic death of our 31 year-old son. The filing of the claim was fraught with delays and repeated requests for information already submitted. The initial reimbursement offered was not consistent with our loss of prepaid expenses and we filed an appeal. The initial appeal was denied, but finally after engaging an advocate from InsureMyTrip and submitting an appeal directly to Nationwide (not their claims processing contractor), we received appropriate reimbursement. To make matters worse, in the face of our tragedy, the representative from the claims processing made repeated insensitive comments in reference to our son’s death. It did not need to be this difficult; we would never buy travel insurance from Nationwide again.
Carolyn L. would not recommend this plan to a friend or relative.
