Did not need to use the insurance. Always get it for peace of mind as our parents are getting older and also if needed to be evacuated from a ship or another country.

My trip went very smoothly and the weather in my city and destination city was great. No health problems for traveling parties. I’m glad we didn’t need to use this protection.

Fortunately We have only made one claim and Nationwide was Great !
We have been buying plans several times a year for dozens of years from different companies and for various reasons.
Currently The driving force is our own ages and illnesses as well as our parents.....
Will continue to buy and hope to Never file a claim again !
Thankfully this last trip was not a case where we needed to make a claim!
Insurance is something you should definitely have and hope to Never use !
InsureMyTrip gives you a very comprehensive look at what’s available and we keep coming back.

Gave a good value insurance plan not clear on what we needed to cover and what each part covered was feeling a bit bewildered on line chat no help so picked what we thought was covered
Still happy with what we purchased compared with the cruise line offering

    Thank you very much for submitting your 5 star review. You are certainly correct in saying that selecting one policy from among so many quotes is confusing which is why we offer our online chat for assistance. Nevertheless, that online service is not always effective especially since the answer to any question may vary by plan or state.

    We certainly hope to hear from you in the future, but please remember that you may also call Customer Care at (800) 487-4722 weekdays from 7:00 AM to midnight ET and weekends from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM for assistance.

Thankfully we did not have to use the insurance but was a great peace of mind knowing it was there if needed. Cost was very reasonable and especially like the preexisting condition waiver.
