I felt at ease knowing that our trip was covered. We have never had a claim, but it's nice to know that it's there if you need it. I am about to purchase coverage for another upcoming trip.

Purchased for protection in case of medical needs while out of country. Good peace of mind. I did not need to use this policy. Previous trip was delayed and similar policy helped with extra costs incurred.

Nationwide Mutual offers a good policy at a fair price. However, that is only half the story. InsureMyTrip helped me out with a small claim on my last cruise. Because of their great service, I will only book travel insurance through InsureMyTrip.

Our original flight to Florida was canceled due to the air traffic controller person who started the fire in Illinois in September and it didn't look like we would be able to make it there in time for our cruise. I called to see if we were covered and I was told that this was not one of the covered reasons. What good is insurance if it doesn't cover unforeseen events that are beyond my control? I asked to speak with a supervisor and was transferred to a voice mail. I asked for a return phone call which never came. As it turned out we made a last minute flight the next day and arrived at the ship one hour before departure. I did loose the cost of the hotel for one night and I had to pay a cab $100 to get us to the port on time instead of $30 for a shuttle that would have taken too long. The insurance sounds good but the company looks for any way to get out of paying. The outstanding folks at InsuremyTrip contacted me and helped with the above issue. I received a check today to cover the missed hotel room. The reason I selected Nationwide Mutual was because it was a recognized name, because the cost was slightly better than the competition and they offered significantly higher medical coverage which would be helpful if something serious happened. I will not book another insurance policy outside of InsureMyTrip. They provided excellent customer service.

Quick and easy application, and very competitive price for the coverage. Have purchased a similar policy for a future trip since obtaining the original.
