This is my second time insuring my trip with this plan. Luckily I didn't have to use it this time, but I filed a small claim the first time I used it, and was very satisfied which is why I came back to this plan.

As I didn't need to use the insurance while on my vacation in Moscow, there's not much I can say about the effectiveness of the coverage, but I was definitely at ease knowing that if I had needed to use it, I could have contacted Nationwide and had my needs taken care of! I shopped around, and for the coverage I got, this was the best price I found! I plan to use this company the next time I go abroad!
