This is the second time using Nationwide to insure our trips and thank goodness we did not have any claims. We previously filed a large claim on another trip and it was promptly handled.

Our trip was a 7 day cruise. On the day we boarded the ship, my husband wasn’t feeling well. He wasn’t getting better and we both had fears he may need to seek medical assistance. Fortunately, he was feeling better by the third day and recovered fully. We were both relieved to know that we had purchased travelers insurance to cover medical costs that could have been incurred. The peace of mind is well worth the cost!

Well, in good news, the plan was unnecessary and the vacation went off without a hitch. It was good to have the peace of mind just in case! It's a good, affordable plan, and I certainly don't regret having purchased it.

Didn’t have to use this plan whatsoever, so the fact that it was a very affordable price for our peace of mind was absolutely worth it. We will be purchasing from this company for every trip here on out! In the event something did happen, this plan seems to provide excellent coverage. Thank you! Purchasing again for a December trip already.

Travel delay costs were reimbursed, but it took over 2 months for this small claim to be processed.
