I have used AIG travel insurance many times after comparing the coverage and the price to others and I believe it is a good coverage for a decent price, but fortunately, I have never had to file for a claim so I can’t comment on how effective AIG truly is.

We use Insure My Trip all the time. Thankfully we have only needed to file a claim one time, and that one time was taken care of efficiently and easily.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance
Essential
It appeared to be a good plan that covered the basic needs of our trip. It is unknown how good the cover would be when making a claim!

We were unable to go on the trip b/c the owner of the place we were staying (Airbnb) said the electricity and water were still not quite 100% (we were supposed to have gone to Puerto Rico).
The agent I spoke with told me the owner would have to state that the Airbnb was “uninhabitable†for us to start a claim. Well, I was not going to ask her to lie - her apartment is not “uninhabitable†by definition - but not having the comfort of knowing for certain that we would have power and water 100% of the time coupled with knowing that a lot of areas in PR are still not really for tourists — we decided it would be best not to go at this time.
The insurance wasn’t going to cover it. We ended up losing $200 to one Airbnb (we had 2 units to cover the whole time span), $400 to the airline and the $158 for the insurance.

All my claims were fully covered, even the medical Rx's incurred after we had our emergency return from the trip. Airline costs, medical costs, and lost vacation days due to our illness all covered and paid in full.

Fortunately I did not have to use the insurance on my trip so cannot really evaluate it other than to say that the plan cost was reasonable compared to other similar plans.

Essential
We took this insurance as we booked our trip a year ago and we had an old dog. WE didn't need to cancel and it worked well for us, gave me great peace of mind.
Thank you

Thank you very, very much for your 5 star review. However, your RoamRight Essential plan would not have provided reimbursement if you had needed to cancel or interrupt your trip due to sickness, injury or death of a pet. In order to cancel or interrupt your trip for that specific reason, you would have needed to purchase the RoamRight Preferred or Elite plans including Cancel for Any Reason coverage.
Please note that none of our plans provide coverage under Trip Cancellation or Trip Interruption for issues relating to a pet. In the future, you may wish to call Customer Care at (800) 487-4722 to discuss your options for any future trips.Jan 01,2018

Always have used your website. All the insurance companies, albeit one, seem to be easy to work with.

We are sorry to hear that you were unable to take your trip. The Nationwide Essential policy has a strict set of covered reason that the insurance company would cover in the event of a cancellation or interruption of your trip. They state:
"(e) Natural Disaster or documented man-made disaster at the point of departure or Your destination which renders Your primary residence or the accommodations at Your destination uninhabitable."
This terminology is the standard amongst most of our policies and the only way to cover a situation where your accommodations are in fact habitable would be with a Cancel For Any Reason benefit, which was not included on your plan.
Here are the requirements for this benefit, if you feel like this is something you would like to include on your next policy. There are 3 conditions that must be met to purchase a Cancel For Any Reason Rider as follows: Purchase the policy within 10 - 21 days of First Trip Payment; Insure ALL prepaid and non-refundable travel expenses prior to departure; Trip arrangements must be canceled more than 48 -72 hours prior to the departure date. If you meet all 3 of these conditions, most of the policies will reimburse you 75% of your trip costs, unless otherwise noted.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns. Our licensed representatives are available 7 days a week and can be reached at 1-800-487-4722.
