In July 2016, we purchased a policy for our bicycling trip to Sicily, Italy. The price for our 12 day tour was $3800 per person. The cost for the insurance was $400.56 (very reasonable). In January 2017 we purchased airfare and added a second tour in Italy. The cost was now $7214 per person and 24 days in length. The cost of the insurance policy now was $1790.10. To add 12 days to the trip (double the original trip) and $3414 more per person (less than the cost per person of the first tour), the cost of the insurance went up more than 4 times the original amount . We were shocked as we thought the insurance amount may double but not go up more than 4 times the original amount. Unbelievable!!

The best thing about insurance is never having to use it but knowing it is there.

Glad I didn't need to file a claim but it was worth the purchase for my peace of mind.

It was very easy to secure travel insurance via the internet. A site compiles trip insurance from many trip insurance companies so one can easily compare prices and coverage. I was impressed with the coverage of Nationwide and their pricing.
I would never buy trip coverage through a travel agency or travel company.

I would have liked a life insurance policy with this, but it wasn't on the policy we chose. All in all we had a fabulous vacation, but we also know you would have our back if something went wrong. Thank you.

Didn't need to use the insurance but it provided a peace of mind in case we did.

While I did not make any claim (thank goodness) on my insurance during the trip, the coverage definitely provided peace of mind. Of all the carriers offered, I think Nationwide was the most cost effective for the same features/coverage I was looking for my trip to Italy.

A small expense for peace of mind that you'll be reimbursed if your health or travel plans change - which they can for any number of reasons. Fortunately have never had to file a claim, but am grateful for the recommendation and encouragement from a travel blogger to "insure my trip".

We were unable to go on our overseas trip due to unexpected illness/surgery of elderly father. After a phone call to Nationwide Mutual, we received and completed a claim form, and received a check for payment in full in a prompt manner. We travel frequently, have always purchased trip insurance for overseas travel, had never had to file a claim, and were apprehensive as to outcome. Would highly recommend to other users.
