Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
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.

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.

This plan provided us with some sense of relief in the event we were unable to take our trip. We felt the price was reasonable and appropriate for the coverage given.
