It’s hard to evaluate since I had no need to make a claim.

Thankfully, we did not need to file a claim; however, we liked the peace of mind in knowing that we were covered should we have needed it.

I thought I was going to have to file a claim because my friend who was traveling with me son passed. You rep was so compassionate and understanding. She sent me everything I needed to file the claim but told me that due to the circumstances the airline could possibly refund. I did not know this. My friend was not able to go on the trip and the airline refunded her immediately. I really appreciate your representative. She was awesome! I will use this travel insurance again. Outstanding customer service.

Thankfully, I didn't have to file a claim. But we were confident the policy was there if needed. We are very happy using Insuremytrip and recommend it often.

The only reason I chose the Nationwide comprehensive plan is that life insurance was not mandatory, which would have added 20 percent to the cost. I DID NOT file a claim, so I can't assess how Nationwide would have handled a claim. Insurance is necessary, to protect against possible loss/expenses. I have homeowner insurance. The last claim I filed was for 1992's Hurricane Andrew in Miami. No problem then, but in September 2017, Hurricane Irma in Central Florida damaged the roof shingles. The shingles were not ripped off and the insurance company denied the claim, although the company paid to have sections of the wet, moldy ceiling removed. I still don't have a water-tight roof or repaired ceiling, and have filed suit against the insurance company.
That tangent has a purpose. I renewed an insurance policy filing no claims for 25 years. If I file a future claim for travel insurance losses, will that be covered? I am grateful, however, that InsureMyTrip.com served as an advocate when I incurred expenses for trip interruption, using a different insurance company policy. One email from IMT to the company had the claim paid within ten days. So yeah, travel insurance purchased through IMT is essential, and I advise not to purchase coverage directly from the insurance company. The cost is the same, and you have one to advocate for you. Thank you, IMT!

I really can't give a good review since (thankfully) I didn't need to use it. But I will say that it gave me peace of mind for a reasonable cost. Using a company with a name I was familiar with also gave me the confidence that, had I needed to use it, I assume it would have paid as expected.
