Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
Travel insurance with medical evacuation is essential when out-of-country. My only complaint with this plan is the plan’s recommendation that travelers carry a hard copy of the plan. Who wants to carry document with over 40 pages? It would be awesome if companies could provide a 2-3 page essentials document for actual travel.

I had to cancel my trip because my sister was in the hospital. My claim was paid and I am very pleased with the customer service.

We did not have to file a claim this time but we did in the past and it was handled quickly and just as the plan indicated. These people are very easy to work with and the cost has always been more reasonable than what I could get from my travel agent. We use this plan every time we travel on a cruise. It is well worth the peace of mind that it offers.

This plan was great! We had no problems on our trip but it was assuring that we were covered. This plan was much cheaper than the one offered by our travel agent. Would definitely purchase again.

We did not have to use this insurance but it was comforting to know that we had it just in case. We booked our trip a year in advance and much can happen in a year that could interfere with the trip. Fortunately, that didn't happen.
