Fortunately I did not need to file a claim. I was at peace knowing that if anything happened while on my cruise, I would be covered by Nationwide. This travel policy was very reasonable.

Did not use, but easy to buy and had good coverage, The most important aside from trip interruption and all that is the medical treatment and evacuation with good limits.

The plan offered us peace of mind for any unknown and unexpected issues during our travels. Provided a more relaxing and really enjoyable time knowing that we had a backup support from a reputable company for any unforseable problems. We now know that we can rely and count again with your company for future travel plans at very affordable rate plans. Thanks.

It is hard to tell how valuable this plan was because fortunately, I did not have to use it.
Still, it provided the best bang for the buck.

Plan provided the cover I wanted at a reasonable price. I didn’t have to make a claim so cannot comment on that aspect of the policy but very happy with both price and cover. Will definitely seriously consider using this company next time.
